That lovable, multi talented musical genius that is Sufjan Stevens is sending a christmas challenge to the world. Asthmatic Kitty says:
"It's Christmas time again! That means tightly bundled scarves, lively debates on the merits of real/plastic trees, a litany of Christmas television specials, and finding the perfect retro Christmas wrapping paper.
And gifts of course! Who could forget the gifts!
That's why Sufjan Stevens is busy working on a very special gift right now, for a very special person. And in the spirit of Christmas, that person will give Sufjan a similarly special gift.
Here's how it works: write an original Christmas song, record it, and email the song to us. Asthmatic Kitty will pick a winner, and that person will trade rights to their song for rights to Sufjan's song.
Just like a gift exhange, Sufjan's song becomes your song. You can hoard it for yourself, sell it to a major soft drink corporation, use it in your daughter's first Christmas video, or share it for free on your website. No one except Sufjan and you will hear his song, unless you decide otherwise. You get the song and all legal rights to it. We get the same rights to your song."
So, get working on those songs kids. If you win and decide not to sell it, I will totally post it on this blog, and then people will actually come to this site. Also, you can stream Sufjan's entire "Songs for Christmas" box set and submit your song here.
