Another Contest…This is Awesome
Let me start by saying that, despite the fact that I said the Arcade Fire video was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen, this is also the coolest thing I have ever seen. Don’t say I’m losing legitimacy because I have now said that about two different things, I don’t want to hear it. Just roll with me. This is just cool. Because you know what? Music blogs are cool. And what happens when you make cool out of cool? You create the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Check it.
Zach, from We Listen For You, has created this video (I can’t even begin to imagine how long this must have taken) where he used the creative names of over 30 music blogs/sites and had humans impersonate those names while at a house party. So that’s already fun, but to make it MORE fun, he turned it into a contest where the person who can identify the most music blog/music site references wins. Now, to punish the snooty people who think they’re so knowledgeable that they can just throw out the names of a thousand different music blogs to win it, the catch is that you get -1 points if you name a site that isn’t featured. And for every site you get right, you get +1. Answers are to be emailed to guesstheblogs@gmail.com.
The winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to Insound and a CD copy of The Pass debut BURST.
Example of what you might see/say: If he was referencing Sunset in the Rearview (which, sadly, is not referenced), you might see somebody looking in their rearview mirror and spotting a sunset.
Cool? I’m not sure why I’m sharing this, because that lowers my chances of winning, but then again…I like sharing cool stuff. So, go for it. And leave me a comment and let me know how many you get. If you’re lucky, I might just let you know how many I got, too.
