ACL “Sound and the Jury” contest horrors
Posted by Mr. Videogame Writer Guy | Filed under pop culture
ACL’s “Sound and the Jury” contest has started, and in a pretty marginal way.
The winner gets a slot at the ACL music festival - huge prestige. It could be a launching pad to great things for the right band. A band with talent. Too bad the bands who are currently winning are spectacularly weak. I’m sorry, Sound and the Jury, but pale imitations of Jack Johnson don’t deserve any stagetime at the Austin City Limits Music Fest.
It just goes to show: being popular doesn’t automatically give you talent. True in the videogame development world, too.
I’m voting for Kissinger right now. I like ‘em; check them out. There’s a link there to their MySpace page. All they have to do is get in the top 100 to advance. If you have alternative suggestions I’m open to them too.
