Hey all, if you get a chance, check out our Hockey Night in Canada theme song submission. For those that don't know HNIC no longer hold the rights to the past theme song so they are holding a contest for Canadian residents only. This song was originally wrtiten as a sports song so hopefully it will do well. There is $100K in it for the winner!

Jul 28, 2008 06:34 pm cool song, a very "Surfing with the Alien" kinda feel. Really good i thought. dug the chorusy effect on guitar rythym.
Bring on the 100K! good luck.
mmm, was i supposed to write this back on the site?

Jul 28, 2008 06:42 pm Haha, no worries Deon! Cheers for listening. This has "crap shoot" written all over it. I can't imangine how they are going to reach a winner with this. A true competition would extend beyond the web but anyhow..... its a $100K and it is worth playing to win is suppose.

Jul 28, 2008 09:49 pm Nicely done. I think it fits the bill myself. The guy griping about it being too long probably doesn't understand it can be cut down to fit whatever they want.
But ya, a hint of Satch in there from the Surfing album for sure. I personally liked it all the way through as well.
I'll have to go back and listen some more, enjoyed it that much.

Jul 28, 2008 10:08 pm This song screams hockey .. I would love to have heard this in the dressing room before a game...this was always intended to have the feel of a hockey song. Whether or not the CBC audience is ready for this is another question - lol
Jul 28, 2008 10:39 pm I can just picture a bunch of toothless guys with big noses skating in circles to this thing.
Seriously, it definitely has the vibe of something you'd hear on Hockey night!
Good luck man.

Jul 29, 2008 11:06 am I posted another one actually. I'm going through all of our scratch segments and submitting them haha. Here's the latest.... I'm still trying to figure out a way to embed a player in this thread.

This one is even harder so I'm sure the old farts aren't going to like this one either.

Jul 29, 2008 12:47 pm Good luck BH ! Of course you know if you win, you'll have to be the guy who puts together the first big HRC-convention .
I wish they'd let us Yanks get involved... I'd always thought that the jam WYD and I recorded(Smashville) a while back, was geared for this kind'a thing... thus the title .
Break-a-leg man !

Jul 29, 2008 01:30 pm Right on .
I'm sure that they're looking for something a 'lil more polished, but y'a never know, right ? I'll see if I can find it tonight, and get it to you tommorrow... unless Noize(who keeps everything posted here) has it somewhat handy...
Of course, Noizey would get a percentage as well, then . ; )
There would definately be an HRC bash, if that one took it ! 8 o

Jul 29, 2008 03:12 pm They have a really cool setup actually. You decide in advance what percentage each contributor gets. That will probably save a lot of fighting afterwards.

Jul 29, 2008 08:45 pm I'll take a look in a little bit Hue.
BH, I' might be an old fart but I still dig rock music, and even harder stuff. So no guff from me on this. I liked this one as well. More licks in this one I think which kept it a bit faster paced. Short n' sweet.
OK, I'll go look for that now.

Jul 29, 2008 09:49 pm Alright, I searched hi and lo and cannot find that one. I have 3 others but none are smashville. I'll check the other drives just in case, but I'm pretty sure it should have been on the one I just checked.

Jul 30, 2008 09:17 am Found it, Noize... right here at work, but in a different computer than this one, so I'll have to borrow a flash drive to get it to this one .
BH- I haven't listened to this one in a while... as I recall it's a bit underdone, but clean . I'll get it up here today, and then maybe you can give it a listen to see if this is the kind of thing they'd be looking for . I dun'no... it screams Hockey to me . : )
I hope WYD catches this thread... I think he'd be stoked !

Jul 30, 2008 09:35 am Oooo, just gave it the first listen in a LONG time . It still screams hockey, but yeah, it's way-raw .
Give a listen, BH, and let me know what you think... it's in my profile as Smashville . Oh, and I had a chance to listen to your two submissions... ROCK !

Jul 31, 2008 09:19 am Oh yeah, we did call it that for a bit . I totally forgot 'bout that . = )
Anyway, I listened to it again, and yeah. even though it screams hockey... that's pretty dang raw . I'm thinking a bit too raw for an entry . Oh well .

Jul 31, 2008 10:22 am Hey Hue, this song really cooks! It does sound like a great hockey tune. I will download it and post it for you. 1 problem though... when I click on download I only get a page of code. Something is messed up.
Jul 31, 2008 10:23 am argh, I gotta fix that download...that's cool binary data you are seeing there...that's on my end I do believe, code issue...

Jul 31, 2008 11:46 am Glad y'a dig it BH ! I just sent it to you .
Y'a don't think it's too raw, eh ?

Jul 31, 2008 11:50 am It is raw sounding but I have no idea what they are looking for. I'll post it under your name/my address later on today.

Jul 31, 2008 12:00 pm H'okay !
Aug 01, 2008 04:14 pm Downloads should be fixed for newly added music, any that are broke simply re-upload the file.
I can't believe the lack of foresight I experienced with something I did at code level...that must have been a late night, many beer "feature" I added there...
jeezuz.
