If you do shorten the title I'd prefer it to be something along the lines of "Quilava's Q||||░▒▓█▌▐╢╔Ⱡﮖ ĕ¾ʥ♪♫♯¾¾¿§╢╔▒▒▐"

However, I'd much prefer the full title (or an even longer one, since I realized that I forgot to include few more words I had thought of that started with the letter Q!)!

In my opinion the full title looks fine on the back cover as it is now though.

yeah I agree, it doesn't need changing. the mp3 tag has the full title too (filename is QQQCQQQCQQC though.)

Sorry for the late reply, but could we capitalize the 'U' in 'uncertainty'. If it's too much trouble don't worry about it.

Most of the samples were so random it was a challenge to come up with anything. Thanks to the deadline extension I was able muster up at least one short tune.

Also, thanks to those who left comments/critique. Much appreciated!

My Samples: (Don't have the samples at hand, names aren't exact.)
"bass tap" - A recording of a bass guitar I had.
"singing fence" - Don't remember exactly what I sampled it from, youtube maybe?, but it was a recording of wind blowing across a fence.
"guitar noise" - A random sound my guitar made while I was recording some tracks.

If you're talking about the album cover, I'm afraid, I won't be able to capitalize the 'U' in your song. It took quite a while to create the cover. I'd have to create the back cover again, since you cannot just change the letters, since it was created with GIMP.

I'm not sure about the album itself, but I guess it is possible to change the 'u' to an 'U', but BlitzLunar would have to change it and upload the whole album again, and I don't think it's necessary, plus it wouldn't fit the album cover any more. It's just one letter and you're not the only one who hasn't capitalized the first letter of a song.

Now that I think of it... sometimes overusing a sample isn't such a good thing. Hmm...

I have a temptation to host the next SPC sometime in September of this year... I can't help but think of December 21st, 2012 (I highly doubt it, but some people do take this date quite seriously).
My game music works:
Scribble Star by Winzenheimer and the Stencyl Team
Nine Pixel Game by KungFuFurby (my own creation! ^_^)
Arkanaut by Manuel/Satelite Play
Blackheist by Manuel/Satelite Play

And some others that haven't been released yet.

I don't wish to be mean but, if you're seriously intending on running one, make sure you're fully capable and have time. While this contest went well, there were a lot of hickups, and I had warned about that from the start, which wasn't just annoying to me but also others. I'd prefer to run it myself but that means doing it at my convenience, which is probably not ideal (would mean a longer wait.)

uh, weird. who does?

I must say, I agree with Lunar on this one. Don't be in too much of a hurry to rush the next SPC contest. Doesn't mean we can't do anything else in the meantime. KungFuFurby, I like your idea of a December 21st contest! Perhaps we could have some sort of doomsday themed contest with the songs being released on the 21st? You know, so we could all listen to the music as the world "ends". I, for one, would definitely be up to it.

It's definitely an idea...
