Dog Jingle Thursday - The Contest

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

als_grill.jpgI mentioned last week that I was going to come up with a jingle for Stella’s new treat - Al’s Grill Smoky Riblets - but I haven’t gotten the feel of the song just yet to make it any good. So, here’s the idea…

I want to hear what YOU think an Al’s Grill Smoky Riblets jingle needs to sound like. Come up with a ten second jingle in whatever style you feel appropriate and email a 128kbps MP3 file to dogjingle AT 3rdmartini DOT com by 12:01am on December 15th, 2007. I will determine the top three submissions and will place them on the web site for the public to vote. The winner as of 12:01am December 22nd, 2007 will win a $25.00 Petsmart gift card.

Sound good? Get to recording.

The Novax 8 String Guitar

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

For all you guitar players that think you’ve mastered the craft, why not check out the Novax 8 String Guitar.

5 string guitar meets 3 string bass in a weird hybrid that looks simultaneously fun and frustrating to play. Wow.

Dog Jingle Thursday - Twofer

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

smoot.jpgSince I was preoccupied with Guitar Hero III last week and didn’t make it into the basement to “work on my sound,” I missed last week’s Dog Jingle Thursday.

But, I make it up to you this time with two… TWO dog treat jingles. Yes, I can feel your excitement from here.

First up, a little something snappy I’d sing when we had a bag of Freshy Breath Treats. This jingle is performed in the style of a 1950’s radio jingle.

As your bonus, here’s my favorite all-time jingle (and my wife’s absolute least favorite). This one’s for Canine Carry-Outs Bacon Bites. I’ve performed in a style that mixes a little Doug Brogar with the rock voice that Trey Parker busts out occasionally.

Yes, I actually sang it this way every time.

We’ll be back next week with the last one, which is a jingle that’s forming in my head for a new bag of treats we got Stella.
