Perhaps you’ve heard that we — like Jarvis Cocker, Scott Weiland, and Tila Tequila — have a MySpace page. Many of you have been sending us links to your pages, asking us to check out your bands and make you famous. So far we’ve ignored you, but that is all about to change. Starting today, we’ll be listening. You point us in the direction of ONE song by your band (or your favorite band) on MySpace and we will go check it out. Over the next week, we’ll be featuring our favorites here, whereupon all of you can tell us how wrong (or right) we are for selecting the band in question. Then, on December 22nd, after taking all the submissions and general debate under consideration, we’ll announce our picks for the Top 25 Best Bands On MySpace. Check out the full set of rules and regulations after the jump.
Remember, you only get ONE song to grab our attention. So choose the song that best exemplifies your sound. Here are the rules and regulations. READ THEM ALL BEFORE SUBMITTING:
1) To enter, go to myspace.com/rollingstonemagazine. Click on the top blog entry, “Rolling Stone’s Best Bands on MySpace, 2006.”
2) In the “Add Comment” box, type in your/the band’s name, the title of the ONE SONG you’re submitting, and your MySpace Web address. This is the ONLY place to submit your song. Any submissions via messages, comments on the main MySpace page, or RollingStone.com will not be considered.
3) You must submit by December 18th. After that, the blog post will be locked up, thus ending your ability to enter. So get your shit in gear.
4) When we say “Best Bands on MySpace,” we totally mean solo artists should enter too. Best MySpace Solo Artist has too many syllables, and it isn’t as catchy to say. But we love you guys, and you should submit your work.
5) You may only enter the contest once. Any artist that enters more than once will be disqualified.
6) Don’t submit a cover of someone else’s song. Only original songs will be considered. But if we like your submission and there’s a cover on your page, it’s no harm, no foul.
7) No HTML codes! It will be deleted, along with your submission.
8) Any blog comments not pertaining to the contest will be deleted.
9) Make sure the song you submit is loaded onto your MySpace music player and that it works. If it doesn’t work, you’re shit out of luck, ’cause we’re not going to check back later.
10) All submitted songs must have been loaded onto your MySpace music player no earlier than January 1st, 2006.
11) Only enter the contest by hitting “Add Comment” below. Any submission posted by hitting “Reply” to any other band’s submission will be ignored, then deleted. Don’t cut the line. We’ll listen to every submission.
12) No soliciting for your song or asking about the status of your song via messages, comments, e-mails, etc. If your song is among those chosen, we’ll let you know.
13) Other than those rules above, there are no rules!
