OPPORTUNITIES
Shawn Knight (of Boyarm) is
looking for contributors to his latest compilation CD. It's not pro or anti
religious... It's more from just a historical perspective. Here's the scoop:
Il Programma Di Religione (The Religion Program) Our second collaborative
"program" shifts tribute from medicinal innovators to the leaders of the
Catholic faith. We are accepting 265 tracks to make up this album dedicated to
the Popes of the past 2000 years. Each song can be no more than 15 seconds long,
and each track
must be submitted by a different band/project. All submissions will be
used, so make 'em good (try to fit this into your next studio session). Also,
don't bother titling your track; it will end up being named after a Pope!
Accepted formats: cd, md, cassette, aif, wav, and mp3. Due Date: Planned
for release in mid 2003 (we'll only accept the first 265 entries). So far, we
have collected 113 submissions.
