April 08, 2007 12:00am
FROM rocking the Grand Prix Traction party and supporting
Robbie Williams on his tour Down Under, Aussie dance act
Sneaky Sound System (below) can add an international
songwriting credit to their accolades.
The group's catchy tune Pictures came second in the

Songwriting Competition.
The comp received almost 15,000 entries from 88 countries.
Judges included Robert Smith (The Cure), Peter Hook (New
Order), Tom Waits, Brian Wilson (Beach Boys) and Frank Black
(Pixies).
Not a bad effort. |

I bet your song was better than that crappy one that won, Daisy. You should post it here.
 Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

Love it, K, especially hearing you read them. And I really like the Dylan references in the first one. Nice touch.

Thanks so much guys for the feedback. :) I wish I knew how to write music to it but although I am a HUGE fan of music, I have no musical talent.

Hey Daisy,
This make me think about many good songwriters, like Frank. He writes the music first and than the lyrics, saying he doesn't like to write the lyrics..some kind of homework (and we all know how deep he can go). So perhaps making the music, or adding sounds, is your homework ;-).
Don't get me wrong, I like the way you've done it. Some very strong images. Are you working on something new?
Thanks again for sharing this
Peace

they are decoration. he always thought he would teach himself but never did.
I guess I can try to teach myself with the goal of creating something so bad that it sounds good type of aesthetic.

You're welcome Daisy.
If only I'had something to post like you did- I'm trying, I'm trying. But hey! A band is like "groing" with one of my old band mates from the "Psylos". I'm sure that nobody has heard of them .. |

my band, the cut*off, also lost in the rock category. Daisy Girl, I'm digging the lyrics. It would be a peach to hear some music with those.
You can hear our loser song called "Porcelain" on our myspace.
