If you've ever listened our podcast, you will know that it is insightful, witty and delicious -- but you will perceive that it lacks any created jingles.
That's where you, our musically talented readers, come in. We would love to have a short piece of music (vocals are optional) that will work well as a pod cast opening. In fact, we'd love to have several: if you send us any kind of jingle that meets our (embarrassingly low) standards, then we'll add it to our jingle library and use it randomly. You will have immortality, and our eternal thanks.
Plus, as an extra incentive, we're giving away a copy of A Vampyre Story to the very best musical jingle. If you didn't grab a copy of AVS when it first came out, then you missed out on a real treat, as our review will testify.
Send your jingles to mojocontest@gmail.com by December 15th to be in with a chance of winning. Please also record in high quality (192 bitrate or higher, MP3 or FLAC).
To give you some inspiration, here are some jingles from other podcasts and radio shows:
- Adam and Joe (BBC 6Music) -- and alternative podcast jingle.
- Idle Thumbs (we're probably all about the middle ages)
- LucasCast (the LFN's podcast)
Have fun!
(Note that the version of A Vampyre Story that constitutes the prize is the North American retail version published by The Adventure Company, which ought to work internationally.)
Update: 15 days left! Thanks to everyone who's entered so far; keep 'em coming! :)
Update 2: Only three days left! The contest ends on Tuesday. Every contribution is appreciated and will likely be used for future years in our podcasts.
My advice, however, is that shorter is usually better.
And quotes from LucasArts music sounds good. The International House of Mojo theme would be particularly apposite.
Damn you, Chris Remo!
