No Direction Home Festival 2012 Competition – Free Ticket Giveaway.

You should know by now, that the alchemists behind End Of The Road, have lovingly crafted a brand new festival; No Direction Home, to take place in the delightful surroundings of the Sherwood Forest, 8th-10th June.
Excitingly, we have a pair of tickets to give away.

There will be music, there will be merriment, there will be all sorts of things that you could expect from the team behind End of the Road:
Attention to detail, award winning ales, Somerset Cider Bus, great food, cutting edge film, comedy, children’s entertainments, a chance to make, do and discover.
There is a stellar bill headed by Andrew Bird, Richard Hawley and The Low Anthem. It is the first time that this historic and beautiful setting, first mentioned as far back as the Domesday Book, will play host to a festival.

To be in with a chance of winning, we’d like you to make us a No Direction Home inspired mixtape.

The tickets will go to whichever we judge to be the best.  Obviously there is only so much you can do to express yourself via the medium of mixtape, so if you create some album artwork or sleevenotes, we’ll take them into consideration.

This being 2012, you must do this virtually. There are 3 steps:

1. Create a Spotify, YouTube, Mixcloud, or 8Tracks playlist.

2. Share your playlist on twitter with the hash tag #ndhcomp or post the link on the Seeks Music Facebook Page 

3. Email us a link to your playlist, together with your artwork and or sleeve notes if you’ve gone next level:  competition@seeksmusic.com

We’ll put the best on our site, and our panel of judges will choose the winner.

Entries must be in by midnight on Saturday 2nd of June, and We’ll announce the winner on the evening of Sunday 3th June.

The 14th Quarter, May 2012

The francophilic cut and paste odyssey continues with one of the weirdest experiments in music radio you’re likely to encounter. The 14th Quarter is an intergalactic audio databurst from award winning A/V vandals Exceeda.
Get on board. Enjoy the ride.

Friends – Mind Control

Friends obviously mis-spent their youth watching creepy films like They Live, Brainstorm, and Scanners. (btw, if you don’t know,  They Live only contains the best fight scene ever.)

Anyway, this is great. and a bit creepy.
