 * So you're sick and tired of East and West Egg's scandals, competition, and general nastiness - who isn't? The talk surrounding Jay Gatsby and his social circle this summer has your head spinning and searching for a way out! You want to find a way to use all of the knowledge you have of East and West Egg to break away and see the world. You have the tools necessary to break away from Long Island and make the world hear your voice because you just so happen to be a member of an up and coming pop group or trio looking to make it big. If you want to create the next number one hit and be on the next flight to Hollywood, you must impress the Virgin Records company, who came to the Eggs looking for the next Lady Gaga and Lil Wayne. If you impress the record label with your original song using //Gatsby// as your inspiration, they will sign your group and make you a star! The road to becoming a popstar is no walk in the park, as anyone featured on Vh1's //Behind the Music// will tell you. Virgin Records compiled a specific list of criteria your song must meet in order to truly impress them and prove you've got what it takes. Your original song may be from any genre of your choice, but it must be at least two minutes long and authentically represent where you came from. You're not "Jenny from the Block,"you're "(your name here) from the 'Eggs'"! Really prove you know what happened this summer with Gatsby and his "friends," by either channeling one of the characters and telling the scandalous events from their point of view, or vividly and creatively describing the events from yours. Remember, it's still 1922, so include elements of the Jazz Age and 1920's pop culture in your lyrics. Likewise, the record label loves interpretive stuff, so be sure to address prominent themes and symbolism from //Gatsby// in your lyrics to prove how indie and "deep" you are. Feel free to record your own instruments, or use Garageband or Audacity's presets. As always, keep the language clean and save the dirty stuff for when you're famous. Good luck! ||
