INDIE ROCK SONGS and INSTRUMENTALS a la The Airborne Toxic Event, The Boxer Rebellion, Carolina Liar, etc. are wanted by the Director of Music at an L.A. based Music Library/Publisher with current MAJOR film and TV placements (e.g. Film: Twilight, I Love You, Man, He's Just Not That Into You, Television: Ugly Betty, True Blood, Beverly Hills 90210, and many more). He is only looking for "record label quality music" meaning that the bar is very high on this one. You must own 100% of your song. Make sure your songs are sample free and clean -- no profanity. Broadcast quality needed [great sounding home recordings are OK]. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics (if applicable). Photo and bio are optional but it's a good idea to include them in the submission because the company does feature the artists they use on their web site. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than Thursday, May 14, 2009. TAXI #Y090514IR

This one was very close for me, but there were some times where I felt like it was missing a lead/melodic element, or like it was missing the lyrics, as opposed to standing on it's own as an instrumental....though it's got potential and was close to being a borderline forward in my opinion.

Title: Winged Bicycle

I'd always include a lyric sheet when possible, not only because it helps the screeners in giving you better feedback, but many high bar listings, like this one, specifically require it, and not including it misses a requirement of the listing.
