Hey guys, Adam and I have just entered a contest on bandamp.com with our song "Deep Instruments" and we're trying to win an ipod. The site runs contests for musicians around the world to rate each other's music and compete to win money or prizes. Anyone can join, and it's a really friendly atmosphere.

Sooooo, we're doing very well, but we'd really appreciate it if all of you would go, sign up and rate us. When you sign up, you can post an original mp3 and join the contest too. If you join the contest, let me know we'll rate you too. Everybody wins!

Thanks so much guys :D

just FYI the ... just above the RATE IT button is actually what your rating is, it's the worst possible rating. So CHANGE the rating to whatever you like, hopefully "professional" BEFORE you press rate it.

Just a wonderfully designed website...

Anyway, I voted Professional 3 times to try to outweigh my first ... rating. I do hope they allow multiple ratings from the same IP.

Thanks man, I think it's your final rating that counts, so professional it is :D . I think the code is pretty fucked on the site, cause you'll get errors everywhere. But I've found that if you click the refresh button on your browser, it'll usually fix it.

Thanks again, Raven 8) ipod, here we come!

Ok... I'm trying to sign up myself on bandamp and it keeps giving me an error... but I know it is possible to create an account... Adam did it, and he's not magical... well... anyway, even if you can't sign up now, please keep trying. :( Stupid site. I just wanna be a part of it.

I have an account! :D And the signup glitches have been fixed, for anyone who wanted to signup but couldn't before.

FYI, besides "Deep Instruments" posted in the June battle by Adam, from my account, I've entered "Second Taste" in the July battle. It's a Bulb song and I love it dearly. :roll:

Hey, thanks guys! We really do appreciate all the positive feedback. Just trying to come out of a month of serious writer's block :lol:

And yes, Blaze, that's the general plan :D Steph, we need to talk back-up vocals... so far the search for singers has been dismal... too many untalented divas out there :roll:

Hmmm, I think sometimes it'll say it didn't create the account, but then about 4 days later, it'll go through. That's what happened with my account. The e-mail from the admin with my password came randomly... which is why my username is smellycat cause I was trying and trying for about an hour, using different usernames and e-mails, but always getting that "an account with that username or e-mail already exists" crap :lol: .

Hurray! I don't have to recruit people: they're jumping at the chance to do work! :lol:

Steph, I think your experience in choir will enable you to blend well, without losing your definition... if that makes any sense. We're a bit swamped at the moment with all the web stuff going up in a flurry, but we should really meet up soon and do a bit of vocal work, to see how we blend, etc. And, you know, when we do shows I can do your backup too :D

I like it, but the site won't allow me to register. I click and it just reloads the page.

Thanks so much. And yeah, my only advice is keep trying. As I mentioned earlier, this site is pretty fucked up, and sometimes it'll say you don't have an account, but then a few days later your new account e-mail from bandamp will pop up in your inbox. I could always ask the admin there to check it out again, not that they really seem to give much of a shit :roll:

Hurray!

Just to let you all know, we won the June battle :D . Thanks to all your kind votes :D :D

For those still interested (and able to create an account) Remote is doing well, but could use some help in the July battle. The competition is stiffer, and I don't want to only have joint custody of the damn ipod because weekends and christmas shouldn't be about mp3's... well... The point is, I want one of my own. Dammit. :wink:

Besides, I want you all to hear the song and like it so much, you end up having to fellate yourselves multiple times :lol:

I really like 'Deep Instruments' but I just can't stand the Ban dAmn website. Seems like they were really eager to get started, then lost their desire to finish. Just like me, ergo I hate them.

Yeah... I feel the same... they still haven't contacted Adam about our prize. But one of the admin's decided to get chummy with me after I posted some sexy pics in my photo album. He wants to make me a site admin. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Me?? A WEBSITE ADMIN??!! 8O :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: 8O

I'd probably go with "sly dog", but it is an admirable ploy :D
