Day two of the radio jingle compo

So, today, Mark Frenkle (of Frenkle and Frenkle) joined Ben and Skin in the studio to cut the 15 entries down to 3. As well documented in the last mp3, my song DEFINITELY would not win, and it didn't. But Mark Frenkle was more than impressed by how awesome it was (and by awesome I mean, do these people not realize I spent about an hour throwing this patheticness together?). The clip says it all.

My radio debut

So, there's this talk radio station in Dallas (Live 105.3), and they've got a couple new guys for the mid day show. They've also had this one advertisement on for as long as I can remember for "The Dogs", a lawyer duo (Frenkle and Frenkle) that pretty much take care of you if you're in a car wreck that isn't your fault, or in a divorce, or what have you.

This midday show (Ben and Skin) put together a competition to create a new "The Dogs" jingle. I of course took about 2 hours out of my day to throw something really stupid together and sent it in. It didn't matter how bad it was, they would play part of it and then decide if it made it as a finalist (which really wasn't much of a deal seeing as how 15 of 30 entries are finalists). But mine somehow found their good graces in the 2nd half when they decided to start being a lot less lenient. Mostly this just made me laugh.
