Paul and Storm

Slap yourself in the face to make sure you’re not dreaming if you need to, but YES,  you read that headline properly: we are holding the first ever Paul and Storm Remix Contest, for our newest song, “Fuzzy Man (Fuzzy Nation)“. (You know, the one we wrote for John Scalzi’s New York Times bestselling book Fuzzy Nation.

Yes, this is YOUR CHANCE to bring the noise, the funk, the RAWK, the beeping-and-booping, and whatever else you have laying around in your +5 Bag of Tricks to grab some awesome collectible prizes, and approximately 0.025 Wheatons of fame.

Intrigued? Here’s the deal…

• Download the raw tracks from this link right here (the song is 90 bpm)
• Make your own remix; the sky’s the limit, go nuts. HOWEVER, to qualify, the song must be at least 60 seconds long, and must contain at least one recognizable element from the tracks provided. (In other words, you can’t just go write and record your own version)
• E-mail an mp3 of your finished remix to info “at” paulandstorm “dot” com before 11:59 pm EST on Tuesday, June 14th
• We will post all submissions that meet the above criteria on this website, along with a poll for people to vote for their favorite remix
• The remixes will also be judged by the two of us and New York Times bestselling author John Scalzi
• Winner of the Scalzi/P&S judging will receive:
  • personalized, signed copy of Fuzzy Nation from John Scalzi, as well as signed copies of other John Scalzi books (to be named later)
  • random selection of signed Paul and Storm merchandise
  • John Scalzi’s voice on your answering machine/voicemail
• Winner of the “popular vote” will receive:
  • personalized, signed copy of Fuzzy Nation from John Scalzi
  • random selection of signed Paul and Storm merchandise
