Modo atual:  alegre
Competitions are not really my thing (see previous blog). But in spite of my radically moderate views about how we are all created equal, talented and generally nice-natured and how most of the world's problems could be sorted out if everyone just learned and practised good manners, every now and then I am seduced into wondering what might happen if I entered one. So a little while back I slipped three songs into a Song Of The Year contest, including a tune which had previously won an award without my having to do anything at all, and then promptly forgot all about it.

The award-winner and whatever the other one was (I've already forgotten) were knocked out of the contest after a couple of rounds and I was not at all surprised since I hadn't actually got round to telling anyone about the competition. But thanks to some very kind people voting for it, Tongue-Tied, one of the songs which has been on my profile pretty much since I joined MySpace, has made it through to the semifinal (and - I think - genre final) in the Classic & Retro Rock genre at IACmusic.com. I am a bit confused about which round is what, as the contest structure is quite complex, but it's ever so nice to have got this far, and it would be ever, ever so nice to win the category.

Getting through to the grand final (where I believe songs from different genres will be pitted against each other in a mixture of public voting and judges' choices) would mean some quality exposure for this track and would be a nice way to acknowledge the brilliance of the musicians and production team who contributed to the song, notably Zoot Money, who produced it and played keyboards, Marc Johnson, who co-produced and engineered, and lead guitarist Brian Willoughby, whose cracking rock'na'roll guitar crowns the song and has been a big factor in Tongue-Tied's success on this and other occasions.


Voting in The KIAC Best of 2009 Open Songs Competition semifinals is now open. If you would like to support Tongue-Tied, which I advise you to listen to at MySpace or IAC (click picture) first to find out if you like it, click here to link through to the Classic and Retro Rock category where you can vote up to 10 times daily during this round. It does require you to join the site but this is quite painless and only needs to be done once.

update Oct 3 - Tongue-Tied is up to third place in the Classic & Retro genre in the KIAC Song Of The Year Contest and I'm trying not to get too excited about it. Thanks SOOOO much if you've been taking the trouble to vote (I actually do mean that even though it looks a bit fake), and please don't be shy about doing it again, if you feel the urge. The counting machine allows you to do it up to 10 times a day. Obviously I would love to win, but aside from my own feeble desires I'm starting to feel quite righteous about the brilliance of the musicians on this track and how they jolly well deserve some sort of accolade.

update Oct 10 - it's definitely the final now - I thought the previous round was but counting was never my strongest suit.  And Tongue-Tied is now at #2 of a much shorter list in Classic & Retro. Everyone has been very supportive.  I don't know how long this round will last, but if you could keep on voting that would be ever so, ever so kind. We've got this far, after all.
