[insert name here] cd sweepstakes ::UPDATE::

nice_try2.jpg

here is where we stand on the contest.

1. we still do not have a name for the cd.

2. I have a list of 10 must have artists and a couple wild card slots open if you assume each artist has one song on the cd. some artists may have no more than 2 songs. assuming the cd has 18 songs, that leaves about 5 or so wildcard artists slots open.

below is a list of winners.

Metallica (submitted by tucker)
Bush (original list/hoover)
Live (original list/hoover)
Pearl Jam (submitted by multiple)
Alice in Chains (submitted by multiple)
Temple of the Dog (submitted by tucker)
Stone Temple Pilots (submitted by multiple)
Smashing Pumpkins (submitted by tucker)
Candlebox (submitted by lomie)
Rage Against the Machine (submitted by jon long)

Earned a CD so far:
tucker
hoover
brandon #2 (for reading daily dwayne before coming here and answering the cd album puzzle)
lomie
jon long

::BONUS:: Guess the albumn at the top for another chance.

[insert name here] cd sweepstakes

here is the preface:
hoover, lisa, stephanie, and I have decided that another compilation disk should be created. in the same likeness of the infamous WTW (white trash wednesday) cd created many years back. the major differences? WTW is early 90's rock (e.g. Poison, Motley Crue, Firehouse, etc.), while the still untitled 2nd disk will be late 90's (e.g.. Bush, seven Mary three, etc.).

this is what i ask of you:
1. i need help coming up with this track list. i am not going to provide my list hoping that its absence will not steer you in any particular direction. just drop ideas in the comments, as many or as few as you can. if i use your song, you get a copy of the disk!!!

2. i need a name for said masterpiece. something cleaver. i use your title, you get a copy!!!

3. **bonus** if you can correctly identify the album cover at the top of this post you will receive a copy of the completed disk!!! hoover excluded on this one due to the fact that i know he has seen it in the last 2 days.

legal disclaimer:
limit one prize per person. i do not have to know you, but you do need to provide contact info to me to send you the copy. offer ends when i dont want to do it anymore. i reserve the rights to change the rules on a whim.

Ice Cold: Where useless perspective and incoherent ramblings go to die

turn you blog into an actual, (touch it, it feels nice), book. link

i got $20 on the 'Ice Cold' never making the NYT best seller list. but i would bet that once i leave this technology driven industry and open my bar on a beach somewhere, sitting on next to my hammock will be a first edition of 'Ice Cold: Where useless perspective and incoherent ramblings go to die. An autobiography of a subtle genius.'
