ProjectSpam

Hey! That was me. Glad you got it.

Sorry, peeps- slightly disappointed in myself, but I didn't get anything out for this round.

I have my ways. MUAHAHAHA! In all seriousness, I googled your address, drove four days to get to your house, waited for you to come out, then looked through all the pictures of everyone who participated in Secret Santa. After some logical deduction and a few Paint-by-Numbers activities, I came to the conclusion that you were my secret Santa. In serious seriousness, you DID write "Strader" on the return address (not "Santa", as it seemed you intended to do) of the box you sent me. I'm not your Secret Stalker

It's been a few years, but I remember loving it. Charlie Kaufman is the man.

THANK YOU, Brandon Strader! You were a great Secret Santa!!! I received: a heartwarming Christmas card, a heart-healthy can of Spam (something I have not eaten for years), THREE (!) blu-rays ('Adaptation.' [an undeniably great film], 'The Wicker Man' [haven't seen it but I know Nic Cage is absolutely ridiculous in it], and 'Sucker Punch' [another one I haven't seen -- terrible reviews but now I get to experience it for myself in the comfort of my own apartment!]), AND a seasonally-appropriate heaping of peppermints and chocolates! Definitely brightened my Christmas! Hope everyone is enjoying their day!

Hope my secret Secret Santa recipient isn't fretting -- my gift may appear at the door past the 25th.

I'm game for this. Don't know what team I'd be on, though!

Dang, wish I saw this when pairings were being made. Excited to hear the results!

I am in as well!

Actually, never mind, I'd love to take part in this again but I'm going to have to rescind because it is NaNoWriMo so most of my free time will be devoted to that. Perhaps next month!

I'll give it one more whirl.

Such a difficult vote because I like all the entries. ahhhhhh

Submitted mine. I was only able to start working on this a couple days ago but much appreciation goes to ectogemia, a great star who offered a TON of fantastic advice. My mind was blown! I don't know how successful I was in incorporating his tips, but I (think I) learned a lot!

Thanks for the comments! Yes, the title is pretty bad, but ultimately this was going to be a song in the style of The Police's 'Every Breath You Take'. I guess, in its current state, I could have picked a better title considering that the vocals aren't really at the point of prominence yet. (And ultimately, I don't have Sting's voice, haha)

Submitted garbage, but garbage is better than no garbage!

My schedule SHOULD be opening up this week sometime so I'm looking forward to starting something for this! Gotta figure out what song I'm going to attempt, but it sure as hell won't be Toxic Seahorse's theme.

I struggled on my project for a hour or so on Wednesday and it's looking like that's all I'll have to submit. Three 14-hour workdays in a row and 2 more tomorrow and Monday have pretty much destroyed any hope of me giving an effort for this third round. It's a bummer because I really liked my idea (I may try to fully realize it after the competition) but it's looking like it won't even be worth listening to. I'll see if I can get something decent out in the next hour or so but it's not looking good.

Oh man. I'm gonna have trouble working on my mix for this week because I just got a ton of film work until Monday, but I'll do my best to come up with SOMETHING.

WHAT!? I won?!? This is crazy. Did not expect that at all. TheRexasaurus, that was a great battle and your song was awesome. Man, Austin is so awesome. Enjoy it there (if you even have time to go around the city. I'm sure the conference will be pretty time-consuming). Hope you're able to put something together, though. I'm going to have to bring my A-Game (of course, I have to discover my A-Game first)

I'd love to sign up, definitely as a novice. Because I really don't know what I'm doing! I mainly use FL Studio. Here's an album I made last year: http://jimjakk.bandcamp.com/

Lovin' the mixes! And the comments! No matter the result of this week, I plan on posting my track in the WIP forum at some point in the next month because this week's mix is probably better than any remix I've made before. Definitely could use some polish, but for what it's worth I liked my idea. Love how this competition just forces you to dwell on the mixes and do something creative. TheRexAsaurous, you are a most worthy opponent! Really enjoyed your song, especially in the last 60 seconds, and I wish I could offer constructive criticism as you did on mine but I really don't know how to comment in that regard -- I feel underqualified! I'm having the toughest time deciding who to vote for. Looks like I'll be listening to the mixes several times before voting ends. Everyone made awesome music and it's looking like there will be close battles this week, so these are exciting times.

Any feedback is awesome!!!

Submitted my remix to Darke. I'm working on set all weekend so I have no more time to work on my entry, but I'm looking forward to hearing this week's mixes!

This idea is ridiculously cool. Loving the artwork and I'm sure the music is going to be incredible.

Haha! Me & you both, man! I need to change this. Tomorrow is the only time I'll have to work on mine. ahhhh
