Less than 9 hours to go

Hey all,

I'm typing this out as we are approximately 9 hours away from December 1st on the west coast! I'm aiming to have the "For You" songs posted just after midnight (PST) if I can help it.

There are new things to announce:

1. Our Myspace profile has made friend number 1999. We're very happy about this. Next stop: 3121!
2. purpletapes.com no longer points directly to our blog. Instead, it points to a new index page. The songs will be up in a matter of hours, but in the meantime there are handy links to the blog, the Myspace page, and...
3. There's a new page for the song tally! It should be a lot easier to update from this point on, because Niveous and I are getting a decent system in place for keeping up with these things.

If you still want to submit a song using one of the titles, there is still time, but not much. Completed songs should be sent to purpletapes@gmail.com.

Check back tomorrow for the first batch of songs, and for the new titles!

ROCK!

Three titles with no songs yet

Hey again,

I updated the running tally of songs that have been submitted on purpletapes.com

As of right now, if you wanted to take on a song title that hasn't been used yet as of 10:43 AM (PST), here are your choices:

In Love
My Love is Forever
I'm Yours

Of course, if you don't mind company, there's always the other titles:

For You (1 Song)
Soft and Wet (1 Song)
Crazy You" (2 Songs)
Just as Long as We're Together (2 Songs)
Baby (1 Song)
So Blue (1 Song)

One week and three days from now, the first wave of completed songs will be posted on Tuesday, December 1st on purpletapes.com Be sure to get your songs in before then!

ROCK!

11 Days into November

Hey all,

The Purple Reign Myspace page now has over 1,000 friends! This makes us happy. If we could even get 5 percent of those friends to write an original song based on one of the titles from "For You", that would be even better!

Currently, We're 11 days into November and five complete songs have been submitted! It's not a bad start, but there's certainly room for more.

We're calling on you to help us out, internet geek musicians! Find out all about it on The Purple Reign Myspace page, and purpletapes.com

We're just under three weeks away from the first wave of songs. If nothing else, we hope you'll come to enjoy some free music on December 1st.

ROCK!
