Jerkatorium is competing in SpinTunes 16, and we just won Round 2. We did well in Round 1 with our song "In The Future" placing 5th out of 27 entries, and now we've won 1st place out of the remaining 20 bands with our song "8-bit Love". You can hear it and download it for free at:

There are a total of four rounds in SpinTunes and scoring isn't cumulative, so winning Round 2 doesn't give us any real advantage or benefit other than bragging rights. It's nice to know that we're probably on the right track though, because 2/3 of the remaining bands (8 out of 12) will be eliminated in Round 3.
We also recorded a podcast of SpinTunes 16 Round 2 song reviews with Tommy G of Boffo Yux Dudes (Tommy is also the host of the Listening Parties on YouTube), and that is available at Two Jerks One Vote - but as I've mentioned before, I doubt the podcast would be of interest to anyone who isn't actually participating in the competition.

"In The Future" Jerkatorium Music Video
Jerkatorium is competing in SpinTunes 16 this year instead of judging. Judging and podcasts are all well and good, but we noticed that they were taking time away from music production so we're going to avoid those for a little while.
The first song assignment in SpinTunes 16 was to write a song based on a scene on a book or movie. After a lot of consideration we went with the introduction scene in Plan 9 From Outer Space, and we made a music video for the song just for fun:

You can download the song for free at bandcamp:
We also collaborated with owl (from miscellaneous owl, Vowl Sounds and Gentle Brontosaurus) for the "Try Me" Song Fight, submitting as "Miscellaneous Jerk". We did okay in that fight, getting 5th place out of 17 entries. You can hear the song here:
More songs to come every other week (and maybe videos too?) for the next several weeks due to this SpinTunes competition. Check back for updates.
