Roy Paymon Competition!
August 16th, 2010 by Murray Barnes | Posted in Flickr, MusicAs you are no doubt aware, I am enamoured of Guarding Crows, the debut album of Roy Paymon – a man who doesn’t seem to exist. Spooky! In fact, I enjoyed it so much (and also felt a bit guilty that I got it for free) that I wrote a pitiful attempt at reviewing the album.
Mr Paymon, who doesn’t exist, was a bit chuffed that I’d written a review. His first, in fact. My words, meagre though they were, made him feel “warm and tingly inside.” I imagine that releasing an album doesn’t feel real until a stranger 3,500 miles away writes something nice about it on the internet. His gratitude extended itself to giving me two more free copies of his album. One I gave to flatmate Tom, because he’d said he liked what he’d heard.
However, that leaves me with one more copy of Mr Paymon’s fine work, and I don’t have any other friends. So, I was thinking that if anyone wants their own copy, I’d run a little competition. The prize is one free legal digital copy of Guarding Crows, downloaded from Bandcamp. To enter, just leave a comment on this blog post. I’ll give a week from the time of posting for comments, then run a random number generator and award the prize to that comment. Yes, that means if you leave twelve comments, you’ll have twelve times more chance of winning. I’ll probably delete blank comments though, so try to say something worthwhile.
Right, get to it chaps!

Hi Murray,
I don’t want to win the prize, but I’ve checked quite a few times if anyone has commented and several days on no one has yet. This made me sad so which is why I’m adding one to your comment count right now.
Please accept my pity comment.
