Prize Frenzy™!
There's been sorrow mixed with relief in the dB Magazine office this fortnight: sorrow, since our friend the Frenztron5000™ was destroyed in a freak asteroid shower/missile attack/lightning storm/seagull-in-the-engine/hard drive crash combo that lit up the skies for days; relief, since it meant that there's one less coldly logical space-faring supercomputer bristling with weaponry and orbiting our planet. However, the redoubtable Frenzor™ has proved surprisingly adept with a soldering iron and thanks to the good folks at Dick Smiths, several poorly-guarded military and aeronautics depots and plenty of old-fashioned can-do spirit, he's created the Frenztron6000™: a combination war machine/satellite/mega-computer/egg timer that is faster, stronger and, all things considered, far more likely to incinerate the entire world at the slightest provocation. In fact, even as you read this it's metaphorically counting down the seconds until the egg of doom is boiled in the saucepan of fate, using the hotplate of... well, you get the idea. So, in short: between them they've collected a fine range of prizes for this issue, so ring 8231 0881 at 1pm on Fri 20 May for a crack at the following - while you still can...
1. Cog are on the cover and chat with Nina Bertok about their national tour in this issue, and they're so darn keen to see you at one of their shows that they've handed us five double passes to their gigs at Flinders Uni Tavern on Fri 27 May and the Governor Hindmarsh on Sat 28 May. Nominate your show, we'll send you along.
2. Instrumental hip-hop master Pasabionic is this issue's 'We Liked It And You Will Too': read Alexis Buxton-Collins' review, and then grab one of the three copies that Elefant Tracks have kindly sent for your listening pleasure.
3. Or maybe you're after something a damn sight more rockin'? Then why not grab one of the double passes to Throwdown's show at Fowlers Live on Wed 25 May that Resist have sweetly furnished us with?
4. The Adult Bookstore are launching their 'Beard:Stroker' CD at the Lizard Lounge on Fri 27 May, and they've kindly slipped us three copies (which also act as tickets to the show) because they are nothing if not gentlemen.
5. The Borderland are also on the CD launching trail, and they enjoyed chatting with Adam Hood so much in this issue that they've handed over a couple of copies of their 'Three Months Of Sundays' CD for your metal-loving pleasure.
6. James Brazel reviews Xzibit's 'Weapons Of Mass Destruction' CD in this issue, and as it happens we have several copies thereof thanks to SonyBMG.
7. You'd like to get along to Idlewild, right? Of course you would, and that makes the fact that Handsome Tours have sent us a couple of double passes to their show at Fowlers Live on Sun 29 May all the better. They chat with Ben Revi in this issue, incidentally.
8. Steve Jones has an illuminating chat with Hanson in this issue, and Identity PR have two packs of signed Hanson goodies including a poster, a t-shirt and a copy of their 'Underneath' CD.
9. Lovers of theatre will want to grab double passes to 'Miss Blossom Callahann', the new play by Stephen House: we have tickets to the first two nights (Wed 1 June and Thurs 2 June) up for grabs, thanks to Mr House himself!
Online Only Frenzy™!
It's lucky that Frenzor™ managed to get the Frenztron6000™ up and running, since it's gathered an enormous set of CDs by Death Cab For Cutie from the fine people at Stomp: 'You Can Play These Songs With Chords', 'Something About Airplanes', 'We Have The Facts And We're Voting Yes', 'The 'Forbidden Love EP', 'The Photo Album' and 'The Stability EP'! All we need are answers to the following questions, emailed to andrew@dbmagazine.com.au: first one across the line wins.
1. What's Ben Gibbard's non-Death Cab band?
2. They're now on Warners, but what was their old label called?
3. Their most recent album is NOT in this prize pack - what's it called?
