Have you heard about this?
The point of the contest is to win the chance to do a 20 minute set opening for Coldplay in your city, and win $2,000
Read the terms of agreement though, they're INSANE
Pretty much if you enter the contest, Capitol Records owns the song you enter with and can do anything they want with it and keep all profits, and has the option to force you into a long term recording contract on their terms. It's nuts

Sounds like it's time for a BLT shitty song writing competition.

If someone was to submit that stupid "YOU FUCKING DID IT" song and it won, would that mean we were legally forbidden from making jokes about it in every third thread? No reason.

Someone should pull a Polonsky and just take a Coldplay song and play all the exact notes in the opposite order.

Morgan may be onto something there.
adam - 7/1/08, 9:07 am
SkunkEye - Coldplay already made a music video like that. What a weird coincidence.

my favorite part is when they say you HAVE to record in the studio of their choice but: "Travel to production studio facilities, including all travel expenses, are your sole responsibility, and each of its respective members, and will not be reimbursed to you under any circumstances by Capitol."

this was like when Limp Bizkit had tryouts for new guitarists, but they got the rights to all the riffs the people auditioning played.
