Contest!!!

(This contest is almost as good as winning the diapers lottery. I promise)

Yayness!!! It's Not on the Guestlist's first contest! I include three exclamation marks in the title as I'm also going to clue you in on two more. I've got a lot of posts coming up including a live review of Beirut, another electro podcast (with a "new" Metronomy track-I am IN LOVE with that man!), maybe an Islands live review, and a Belgian theme week-Viva la Fete anyone?! But before that, I've got a contest to win a signed copy of Ben Folds' latest offering Supersunnyspeedgraphic that is one part scavenger hunt, one part question and answer.

Part 1: Scavenger Hunt
Answer and also include the link to the post you got it from:
1. Identify 2 of the people whose polaroids make up Not on the Guest List's title image and include two links from this blog that reference two of them (though not necessarily in the same post)

Part 2: Question and Answer
Clue me in on your thoughts about this site! What is it you like best? What will keep you coming back? Do you lean more to indie or electro? Do you like the MP3s, the live reviews, more news, interviews? Share you thoughts whatever they be.

Email me the answers to Part 1 and Part 2 at:
notontheguestlist (at) gmail (dot) com

Include your name and address. As soon as I get home from Girl Talk on Friday November 10th (the deadline) I will select a winner at random. Open to everyone across the internets whether they be in the US or abroad.
If you want to do a link swap include your link too. I'll link swap with anyone who enters.

This summer I entered a blog contest where I had to write a haiku about Grandaddy. My entry was AMAZING I tell you, but I didn't win. Boo!

PS-If you want an invite to gmail let me know.

Now moving onto other contests and a MP3.

One of my fave bands is having a contest of their own and a very viable one at that! Good Shoes want people to send in pictures of themselves "throwing shapes" aka dancing to those not in the know. They're selecting a whole 300(!) to appear in the sleave artwork for their next single 'Photos on My Wall'
Stream the song on their myspace:
www.myspace.com/goodshoes

Dance to it, snap a pic, then enter it here:
http://www.thephotosonmywall.com

Deadline November 6th.

And now listen to their by far greatest song. I want to direct the video. More on that later.

'Never Meant to Hurt You' Good Shoes MP3

And even if you don't speak German, you should enter this:
Sing 'Das Zelt'
http://www.sing-das-zelt.de/singdaszelt.php

Stream it, cover it, then send it back in. You win two tickets to be used in 2007 on German Wings which is like the best airline ever. Whenever I'd take the tube in London, I'd see their posters advertising fares for only £13.50 one way from London-town to Berlin! I ended up flying Ryanair, but there's always next time and once I move to Deutschland I presume I'll be using German Wings a lot.
I really want to go crazy in GarageBand and do up an electro cover (what else would I do?) Deadline is November 30th.
