Say Anthing will Sing Anything for Money

August 5, 2008


I’m not sure if this idea is completely unique but I found it interesting. Max Bemis, the front man of ‘alternative rock’ band Say Anything, is offering to write a song for you about something you think is important; if you’ve got some cash.

‘In an effort to minimize the gap between music listeners and performers, take up time on warped tour, and find some solution for the fact that anyone can download any of his gosh-darn albums for free, Max came up with a predictably crazy idea in a haze of sleeping medication.

Max has decided to open the door for a limited time to Say Anything fans to submit ONE to TWO paragraphs about an issue they are having, a serious problem they are going through, or even something they just felt should be written about. Max will take two to three days to deliver an acoustic, full length actual Say Anything song based on your experiences and what you submitted! Each song is 100 percent written by Max for YOU, the buyer.’

The cost for your idea to be put into song form is USD $150 which seems pretty cheap I suppose, as long as it’s a good final product. Is this a band out of ideas or a band searching for news ways to interact with their own fans? To be honest I’d never heard of Say Anything before reading about this so maybe it’s just a good publicity stunt or blatant grab for some seemingly easy cash. I’d be keen to hear how some of these tracks turn out and which entries were chosen to be written about (it’s now been closed due to demand) but really, if anyone wants a song written I’ll do it for half that. Nah I’m just kidding. Maybe.

    I like it when Nickjam is active.
    I think Say Anything have a couple of good song, or well…at least songs I like – but this – is wanky.
