How the heck does one respond to: "I know it's a 2 minute contest: here's a 5 minute track. I poop on your rules!" ?

Certainly I'll omit it from the radio, and it will be disqualified from judging. I suppose the next question is whether to delete it from the voting thread altogether as somehow 'off-topic'. Why not just post straght to the Cafe instead?

It's a good track. Maybe a great track. It's just not a contest track.

Nope. I sang my idea of a polka version of David Bowie's tune Stay to my wife this morning before she got out of bed . . . That put her in a horrible mood right away

So, I still have NO ideas.

You can respond with..

Actually, the song was already posted in the cafe, i heard it and suggested he join the contest mixing flamenco with something else.
I was hoping to hear a fresh tune for this contest.

A polka version of "Stay" would put me in a great mood.

woah there big fella! didnt mean to rub all you heads the wrong way. u know, sometimes these internet contests the rules are pretty lenient, didnt realize that 2 min really does mean 2 min. Its too bad im heading off to costa rica for a few months on saturday, I would have liked to remix an old flamenco track of mine. sorry about all the confusion, go ahead and delete that post i put in the contest thread. ciao

See that guys? My typing alone shows that I'm a big guy

I would have liked to remix an old flamenco track of mine.

Maybe next month. Markelford said he may do a flamenco contest where the song can be no less than 10 minutes.

Fritze, what the hell are you doing this time! You made another very special groovy mix-bubble: One more great track here! Did you sing? In some month we'll have a wonderful innovatively eclectic Fiedler cd: Yodeley!
Do you know, folks: We'll have to choose! Isn't there anybody with a really weak entry....por favor?

Thanks dude. Very nice words.

Lucy! You've got some 'splainin' to do.

Okay, I have to say, I played just about every note and all the guitar (through guitar amp pro).

I did use the following apple loops:
Eastern Santoon
Rural Banjo
Club Dance Beat

Also the jewish arabic singing was from a professor (of history, i think).

I used logic and kontact 2 for all orchestral instruments (i wrote the parts ).

, oooh almost forgot Ultrbeat:-)

My downstairs neighbor Bill played the bass line for me. He reads music:-) Thanks Bill.

Thanks for all the nice comments S.HUSH, groovesys, mellotronaut, and others.

You guys rock!-)

I'm quite impressed!

As soon as Scoops uploads his song, we will have a very weak entry.

I wait for Max' entry and mine isn't weak enough yet

Don't know Robert Johnson (too lazy to Google

) but the first thing that jumped into mind was: that sounds like sampled vocals. It might not be in which case I'm quite impressed with the authenticity of it, but if they are sampled....is that allowed?

oh btw. I've posted my entry guys. Feel free to (try

and) pull it apart.
