The Smiley Smile Message Board

Since the song and video received such a favorable response here (http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,5438.0.html), I thought you might like this.

I'd like to announce the Really Really Weird Remix Contest (http://songsandsonics.com/2008/08/05/really-really-weird-remix-contest/).

In the very near future, I will be making the raw tracks for The Simple Carnival's song "Really Really Weird" available for download. If you're a creative remixing kind of person, you can take these original tracks, manipulate them, and turn them into something that sounds nothing like the original song. A panel of judges and I will rank the submissions.

The grand prize is one of the instruments that was used in the song, a circuit-bent Casio SK-1 sampler (considered by many to be the holy grail of weird-sounding circuit-bent instruments), plus a Simple Carnival t-shirt and a copy of the album where the song comes from, Girls Aliens Food (http://www.simplecarnival.com/souvenirs.php). There are three runner-up prizes (consisting of the t-shirt and CD) as well.

Even if you don't win, there's a possibility that your remix might end up on a future Simple Carnival release. You can read all the details here:

Thanks for reading this far, and hope to hear your remixes soon!

This sounds like it is right up my alley...

And now the contest remix tracks are officially online (scroll to the bottom to download the tracks):

Mister Fusty, Heidi Gloom, and Rob Arnold all have remixes you can check out at the above link.

Because Mister Fusty is a judge in the contest, he is not eligible to win anything. He knows this, but he went ahead and did a remix anyway. :)

Three new Really Really Weird remixes came in this week: Dav, Satan's Little Sister, and EarLabsSolo sent in their submissions. (For some reason, Dav's remix shows up as the last song on the MySpace player. I don't know why.)

Just a reminder -- the cutoff date for contest entries is midnight EST, November 30th, 2008. So if you're a remixing sort of person and you want a chance to win some cool stuff, it'd probably be a good idea to get started on that remix soon!  8)
