In 1998, Nick and Warren wrote two songs for the reunion album of the group Blondie -- "Studio 54" and "Pop Trash Movie" -- but because of bad timing and bad politcs at EMI, the tracks got shelved. Since Nick and Warren still owned the rights to the song, Duran Duran recorded "Pop Trash Movie" themselves as the title track to the 2000 "Pop Trash" album. Basically, there are five different versions. The UK LP was the first.

The Songwriters Directory is a data base of and for all songwriters, both professional and amateur. Anyone who has written a song and considers her or himself to be a songwriter may be listed.

Yes, most definately! You should try to get the demo as close to release quality as possible. A song with backing gives more of an impression as to the finished product. At this point, it is about presentation. Remember being at school where the pupils who got the highest marks had their work typed out and presented it neatly in a folder? Without backing, a record company may think that you're not making the effort.

least for the first 3 albums, Melissa recorded more songs than appeared on the album. She recorded "Meet Me in the Back" for each of the first 3 but didn't release it until "Never Enough." "Yes I Am" was originally recorded for "Never Enough" as was "Change" and several others that haven't officially been released. In fact, "Change" was the original title for her third album. "Change" and an early song called "Ready to Love" are sometimes performed in concert.

The proposed bylaws were made available on request (prior drafts had already been distributed) to everyone on the feybiz meeting mailing list. A notice was sent out, stating that unless faeries requested another meeting within 30 days, the bylaws would be considered "final", and the next steps could be considered. A faerie in Seattle requested another meeting be held to answer questions being asked by Seattle faeries. The Seattle meeting was held in November 1999.

In the mid-1970s, Marcy was Eric's most frequent collaborator. During this period, the two cowrote Innocent Times, Lay Down Sally, The Core and Roll It. They also recorded Hungry, a song she cowrote with Dick Simms. After she left the band, Eric recorded Tangled In Love and Walk Away, two Levy/Feldman songs.

of the mid-80s, she had written and published more than 3,000 songs. As she averages one every few days, I'd guess that by now she has written more than 5,000. Of these, she has recorded and released nearly 350 of those (some three or four times), and about 200 have been recorded by other artists. The only-ever-published list of all of her songs which she has recorded and released is available here.

Both of those songs were written for Pull. The reason they didn't make it on the record was because they sounded too much like something that should have been on 'In the Heart of the Young'.

A) For a long time after their breakup, Tori chose not to perform the songs she wrote for Eric. However, on the Dew Drop Inn tour (1996), she performed "Song for Eric" several times. "Song for Eric" is available as a bonus track on some of the YKTR bootlegs.

That’s a young Maori singer called John Fletcher. Mike found him singing jazz standards in a tiny bar in Napier, NZ in 1997, when he returned to record Streets of Glass. Mike really liked what John was doing and asked if he wanted to work on his album. John agreed, although we feel he never thought it would happen until he was standing in the studio.

When you first arrive, some time will be spent setting up the instruments, the mics and the computer program.

Sure. But remember, an album can never exceed 74 minutes in total, no matter how many songs it's divided into. It stands, therefore, that the limit on a single song is 74 minutes. Back to top

There are several ways to go about this. Some of the methods I mentioned earlier apply here, such as looking for collaborators or joining a songwriter's organization. Other avenues are inquiring at a music store, a school's music department, your local musician's union, or a studio. You can also post an article to one of the many music-related newsgroups on the net. (It is generally a good idea to

A few words about publishers: They are often inundated with material. Many publishers get over 1,000 submissions per day. A lot of them go directly into the trash can, or are returned unopened. It's generally a bad idea to send unsolicited material to a publisher. However, it is possible to get your material heard by publishers if you are able to develop some kind of rapport with them. One way to do this is to contact the publishers beforehand.

They are written in the order in which I write them. Sometimes seeing a name in a lot of requests will make me want to write one. Sometimes I take my cue from Today in Toons, and write up a toon on its anniversary. Sometimes I happen to run across a really good picture of a particular toon, and take that as my cue. And sometimes there isn't any reason at all — I simply surprise myself by suddenly writing a Toonopedia™ article I hadn't expected to get to for months or years.
