AdrianGarzaMusic	July 14, 2008 5:24:13 PM You wanna play a game? 4 team captains (I call the first spot, so we need 3 more) and 3 team members per team. First three to call "CAPTAIN!" are captains everyone else who wants to participate say "I'M IN!" so we can get a list for picking one by one for the captains. Captains won't start picking till we get twelve(12) other participants The Game? Write the best pop song! Kind of like a battle of the bands. We'll post our songs at a specified time and a week from then, which ever team has the highest vote count/score ratio wins. Yes, you can vote for your own song(to keep things honest.) This may or may not work, but I think it'll be a fun chance at friendly competition! YOU IN?

Feter	July 14, 2008 5:32:09 PM just wanted to be honest with u
SmokeyVW	July 14, 2008 5:54:35 PM check out this blog - it points to lots of previous challenges - a good reference for proposing new events: http://blog.macjams.com/?page_id=92

AdrianGarzaMusic	July 14, 2008 5:59:55 PM Quote by: SmokeyVW check out http://blog.macjams.com/?page_id=92 Thanks Smoke, not sure how that works yet tho but I'll check it out.

I just wanted to show you what previous challenges have happened here at MacJams. You have a great goal here, but I'd suggest changing it from a contest to a challenge. The rules for the previous challenges here might help you adjust your event into something more likely to interest the MacJammers community. Just an idea...

Just an idea... is why I said NO ...we are here to share our music and to challenge ourselves to motivate our love to music to create and write and perfom .. not to compete and challenge " each other " ... wish I made it clear ... cheers friend !!!

So how about we help Adrian? We know his long term goal is to infiltrate pop music by playing their game, but by bringing quality and decency back on the table. (Adrian: did I get that right?) A similar tactic can be done in this instance. Let's do a Pop Music Challenge - using a format similar to what has gone on here before. This will expose MacJammers to pop music style in a palatable format. Some MacJammers already know this stuff, but others, I suspect, would love to learn about it if it's presented as a fun learning experience. What do you think?

	July 14, 2008 6:26:21 PM I don't even know what Pop Music is anymore - I'm just an Old Guy but I kind of like it. The pressure's off, I can be as lame as I like and I don't have to hide the fact I drink light beer. And I really don't know what Pop Music is anymore.

The pressure's off, I can be as lame as I like and I don't have to hide the fact I drink light beer. And I really don't know what Pop Music is anymore. I'm not sure it's well defined as a genre. But the challenge could approximate a definition by making the rules say something like entries need to be in the spirit (stylistically) of songs that appear in a specific Top X songs for a certain week (maybe the one from the day the challenge starts). That will give people prototypes to get started.
SmokeyVW	July 14, 2008 6:35:02 PM Let's see what Adrian says about this. I don't want to steal his baby. I guess I could get behind a Modern Pop Challenge.

AdrianGarzaMusic	July 14, 2008 7:15:03 PM Sounds good smoke, thanks for your support on this one. I can't go into much more detail now(i'm typing this from my phone) but like I said I really wanna start a MJ Pop Challenge. When I get back to a computer I'll clarify everything, work out the kinks as best I can, and make this legal according to the rules of MacJams. Thanks C-Ya
