Make a Song About Admiral Ackbar and Puppies, Win Prizes
Yes, you heard right. If you can write and record a song about Admiral Ackbar and puppies that Buzzgrinder deems worthy, we’ll give you some prizes. In case you’re wondering why we want a song about Ackie and pups — well, you’re dumb. It should be obvious why those two subjects are worthy of balladry.
So here’s what you get if you can do the job right:
- A dozen (yes, 12) CDs, chosen at random
- Three pieces of vinyl, chosen at random
- Two Buzzgrinder shirts to divide amongst your band
- A giant alarm clock that doesn’t work
- Four pennies
- A crochet cupcake from Brittanie’s Friendly Monster Industries (here are some photos)
That’s a haul, right? Maybe — just maybe — if multiple bands give us incredible Ackpup songs, we’ll have more than one lucky winner. So get to work.
Send your submission to sean@buzzgrinder.com, with ACKPUP in the subject line. The contest is open-ended, so keep sending until we tell you to stop.
