<p>Ever try to make a vision/mission statement?  Or maybe just a clever <a href="http://www.twitter.com" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.twitter.com');">tweet</a>?  There&#8217;s an art to summarizing something down into just one or two sentences.  And that&#8217;s exactly what we&#8217;re trying to do right now.  We&#8217;re in the process of setting up a press page and are trying to summarize some of our favorite songs into little tidbits for people that havn&#8217;t heard our music.   This where YOU come in.</p>
<p>We love comments.  And we need some help describing our songs.  So we need you to leave a comment describing our music.  And the winner gets free, unreleased tunes!  How do we determine the winner?  Simple enough.  If you leave a comment that follows the guidelines&#8230; YOU WIN!  Keep reading to get the full rules and leave a comment to enter&#8230;</p>
<p>UPDATE:  We changed the rules&#8230; as in I wrote it wrong the first time.  If you enter&#8230; you get the free tunes.  Boo Yah!</p>
<p><span id="more-546"></span></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how the contest works:</p>
<ol>
<li>LISTEN to the songs</li>
<li>Make a comment on THIS entry.</li>
<li>Your comment must include AT LEAST one adjective along with the name of the selected song you&#8217;re describing.  If you&#8217;re more ambitious you could even write down a whole one or two line description.</li>
<li>Adjectives CANNOT include things like good, awesome, great, sucks, etc&#8230; they need to actually help describe the song..</li>
<li>If you leave a coment and follow the guideline you score some FREE tunes.  We&#8217;re going into the studio this week and re-recording a few songs.  These songs will not be available for free anywhere else.</li>
</ol>
<p>Here&#8217;s the songs we&#8217;ve chosen to promote and need descriptions for&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.newmusicmonday.com/wp/2009/03/fall-sotw-23/" >Fall</a>, <a href="http://www.newmusicmonday.com/wp/2008/10/freakin-me-out-sotw-2/" >Freakin Me Out</a>, <a href="http://www.newmusicmonday.com/wp/2008/11/incredible-sotw-6/" >Incredible</a>, <a href="http://www.newmusicmonday.com/wp/2008/11/a-feeling-sotw-8/" >A Feeling</a>, <a href="http://www.newmusicmonday.com/wp/2009/02/apathetic-skies-sotw-19/" >Apathetic Skies</a>, <a href="http://www.newmusicmonday.com/wp/2008/09/lying-next-to-me-sotw-1/" >Lying next to Me</a></p>
<p>And just to get the juices flowing&#8230; here&#8217;s one description we&#8217;ve come up with for Incredible:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;a quirky, feel good song with jazzy guitar and a whistle reminiscent of the Andy Griffith show&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
