Earlier today via Facebook and the band’s website, entrepreneur Jack Cooper of London-based Mazes (Fat Cat) posted a public ad for personalized songwriting. It reads:
Haven’t got much on for the next week or so and I’ve had this idea for a while. Art is cheap… people make millions and trillions of pounds out of a brain cell firing successfully. it’s crazy. I’ll write you a song for £10… send me a song title and your email address and I’ll be in touch… a song title or anything, guitar part, drum beat…whatever. I’m feeling inspired.

As any smart musician knows, extra work here and there is nice, but this stroke of brilliance has got to be a refreshing change from flyering and bar work. Not sure if this deal works internationally, but it’s worth a try if his plate isn’t already full.
