For those that enjoy blabber by yours truly....here is the play by play of this little contest:
So...about a week back we got this little note from our good friend Kenz:
So I followed the link over to myspace.com/rollingstonemagazine where I found the their blog post entitled "Rolling Stone's Best Bands on MySpace, 2006". Basically all they were asking was if you were interested in entering the contest just add a comment to the blog with the band's name, your myspace URL (which luckily is no longer imadirtyslutwhore4343424) and a song title that you would like Rolling Stone to listen to and judge you on. After a brief consultation with Mr. Marciano, I nominated Watercolors as our tune....getting us right in there at lucky entry number 519 on day 4 of the 15 day contest.
Nearly instantaneously after submitting I had forgotten about it. That was until this morning when I woke up....made some breakfast...and did the usual morning myspace check in. That's when I found this little sweet ass message from my main man Dan:
First reaction = FUCK YEAH! Second reaction = SHIT! ....I just realized that this was sent last night....the noon he is talking about is that pesky EST noon which is really 9am for us PST'rs....which is exactly NOW!
Not like it's life or death....but it seems real stupid get a chance for Watercolors to be on RollingStone.com, for all to hear, and have some time zone fuck it all up for us. Right as I'm warming up the old synapses to start working on this early morning task (which I'll give you is fairly remedial...and it's not actually THAT early...but after a solid 4hrs of not the most sober sleep....even easy tasks are a bit challenging) I receive this note from my main man Dan:
BOOM!...the pressure hit. Clocks ticking. I fall right into the Zone...start working the keyboard mouse combo like a motherfucker....browse, find and send all in one fluidly-graceful, swan-like motion + follow up with a little note of detail:
As if he knew about my last message before I even hit send, BLAM! My main man Dan fires back his receipt of message confirmation:
After taking a breath...getting a bit of water to quench my game day thirst… I headed directly to rollingstone.com/bestofmyspace to see the post. I hit refresh about 1,239 times...then gave up...no post yet.
After racing to work, throwing back the door, jumping over my desk and receiving a 6 stitch gash in the forehead because of a misjudgment of desk height I got the the ol'bastard computer fired up, surfed over and I found "the balls":
So this is where it ends. I hope you enjoyed riding along with me on the a little adventure I like to call "Dec. 22nd 2006 (fuck it's early)".
