contest:


the contest is for a show tentatively (and somewhat pretentiously) called 'titular dichotomies' which will air 6/12/01. (which also happens to be someone's special day!)
your task is to come up with two songs whose titles oppose or contradict each other.



...for example: ...

... this is a low - blur...
... high - the cure...

... happy when it rains - the jesus and mary chain...
... walkin' on sunshine - katrina and the waves...

... i got you - james brown...
... you got me - the roots...




get the idea?

your pairings can be as obscure and conceptual as you wish (in fact, you're more likely to win this way), so long as there is a modicum of relation between the two.


we do have one rule, however: your contradictions should be implicit. try to make them not of the form 'A' and 'not-A'.



...that is, ...

... breathe - the prodigy ...
... try not to breathe - rem...

...would not be allowed...





the contest will be judged in complete subjectivity by us - whichsoever entry we deem best/most funny/cleverest wins.

we will not be argued with.

the winner will have his/her two songs played on the show (and be lauded with superlatives), plus he/she will receive a $20 voucher to everyone's favourite record store, the palatial groove music in armadale.



... send your entries to:

...... themeanddeviation@hotmail.com...

... or

......you may place them neatly in the ......
...... guestbook ......



feel free to enclose as many dichotomies as your heart desires (or brain can muster), but please ensure to have included your real name and telephone number.

entries close 25/11/01, and the winner shall be announced during the show of 29/11/01.



good luck!
