they’ll listen to it if you enter the international songwriting competition for 2006, that is.  they have officially signed up to be judges, along with an impressive list of other artists (brian wilson, isaac brock from modest mouse, amy ray from the indigo girls, the blue man group) and a bunch of music industry bigwigs that you probably don’t care a bit about.  it costs $30 an entry and you can submit as many original songs as you want on either cd or tape.Â
official contest rules state that all submissions must be postmarked on or before october 16. that means that even if you haven’t started yet, you still have 6 weeks to compose a song that will make tom waits cry. and believe me, if he likes it, i too will want to check it out. keep me posted.

the 3 guys who started it, dork. the 3 “real” blue men.
bahahaha…aren’t these judges going to clash somewhat on their preferences and what each individual thinks is a “good” song?
i can picture tom waits kicking the ass of a blue man over this…
Dammit. I had the most wonderful mental picture of a row of about a dozen blue men and a visibly perturbed Tom Waits and a scared Robert Smith…
That’s the best set of judges they’ve ever had.
I used to get emails from them about the contest, but I stopped using that account.
