Sigur Ros – ‘Fjögur Píanó’
Upon releasing their most recent album, Valtari, Sigur Ros gave a dozen filmmakers budget and complete freedom to make a video to accompany a song from the album. This was the band’s favourite. Depending on your position it’s either genius or pretentious twaddle. Which kinds of sums up attitudes towards the music as well.
Why not make up your own mind and see them live at California’s biggest music festival?
Eight days to go if you want to win tickets to the USA’s biggest and best music festival. The best photo this week will recieve a bag-load of Volleys. That’s right, a bag-load.
COMPETITION COUNTDOWN: 11 DAYS LEFT TO ENTER
Janelle Monae – ‘Tightrope’ (feat Big Boi)
Any musician that receives the approval of Big Boi is okay by us. Why not give yourself the opportunity to see the wee tuxedoed one shimmy around on stage at California’s biggest music festival?
Last year was Grimes’s year. Seems like the elfin Vancouverite might have been holding a gun to the heads of music journalists. Ensuring her third album, Visions, was included in their year-end lists. But, obviously, that’s not possible. You could receive the chance to see her at California’s biggest music festival.
COMPETITION COUNTDOWN: 4 DAYS LEFT TO ENTER
Sparks – ‘When I’m With You’
The brothers Mael. Two complete weirdos that never quite received the level of fame they deserved. They’re still around and will playing at California’s biggest music festival. Here they are playing ‘When I’m With You’ on a French children’s show. Don’t ask us why an adult store is involved. You could win a trip to rediscover them for the first time… again.
COMPETITION COUNTDOWN: 8 DAYS LEFT TO ENTER
Phoenix – ‘If I Ever Feel Better’
The snake-hipped Frenchmen ask an interesting question. Will you ever feel better? Not to be a bummer, but you probably won’t. You can give yourself one chance though. Submit a photo to our competition and you could be flying to California’s biggest music festival to see them live. Then you’ll feel better.
COMPETITION COUNTDOWN: 11 DAYS LEFT TO ENTER
DJ Harvey. Disco freak, host of the infamous Sarcastic Disco parties in LA. You think a guy who takes records this serious isn’t going to things that change your life while you’re on a dancefloor at California’s biggest music festival? You could be the one that finds out.
COMPETITION COUNTDOWN: 12 DAYS LEFT TO ENTER
Hot Chip – ‘I Feel Better’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GOZjlwIwfk Well. Hot Chip are absolute weirdos. That was never in doubt. The clip for ‘I Feel Better’ cemented the weirdness. And you could get down with the weirdness (not the sickness, never the sickness) at California’s biggest music festival.
COMPETITION COUNTDOWN: 14 DAYS LEFT TO ENTER
Dinosaur Jr – ‘Pierce the Morning Rain’
Nobody’s grousing about ol’ Dino Jr having reformed. The music is still vital, J Mascis is still borderline mute and their videos are still tongue in cheek. Like their most recent, starring Henry Rollins and alt comedy heroes James Urbaniak and Maria Bamford. Want to do better than YouTube? You could see them live at California’s biggest music festival.
