YouTube Gems: Wrinkle Neck Mules Sell Out

Just kidding about the selling out part.... good for the Wrinkle Neck Mules for getting a Geico spot! The more exposure for real music, the better. Here they are with the song featured in that Geico commercial, "Central Daylight Time," from their new album Apprentice to Ghosts (which is still inexplicably unavailable in mp3 format on Amazon). Anyway... here ya go.

Poll: ACM's Best New Artist Award

I wish they could somehow all lose... but who would you pick to win this year's ACM Best New Artist award?

John Rich's Songwriting Tips #57

Today, like an NBA team tells Kim Kardashian, I've got a few tips for you.

1. Always have a notebook with your or make sure your smart phone has a note app. That way you can always write lists and lists of country things throughout your day. It's also handy for picking up them digits from the lovely ladies.

2. Let people critique your work. I don't have to do that, you understand, but you do. Put your songs or lyrics on message boards or whatever you little people do. If somebody doesn't like your work, curse them out and question their songwriting resume. Do they have FOUR F*CKIN' NUMBER ONE SONGS to their credit? I thought not!

3. Organize your ideas. Make sure not to get your drinking song lyrics mixed up with your mixed drink recipes and whatnot. Keep your booty-shaking song lyrics out of your sexual tryst diary. Be like a good bra, and keep 'em separated!

4. Don't feel bad throwing out your bad ideas. I'm not familiar with the concept of coming up with a bad idea for a song, but you probably are. Personally, I'm more of a mind to throw every thought that pops into my head against the wall and see what sticks like a booger. But my boogers are gold... gold baby!
