As proprietor of one of these hip, brand-new music blog thingies, I get contacted by a lot of folks about a lot of different bands. Recently, for a change, I was contacted about a band I like and have no problem talking up a bit.
Queens of the Stone Age don't really need an introduction for my general audience, I presume. This is a band I've always liked since I first listened to Rated R in a Virgin Megastore years ago, and has put out solid albums since that have been getting them a fair amount of mainstream attention. Their combination of Sabbath and Ramones (generally speaking) has always been fun for me and I look forward to their new releases.
QOTSA have recently released a live combination CD/DVD called Over the Years and Through the Woods. I don't understand the title either, but it's packed with some really hot live cuts from London this past summer and a bunch of crazy behind the scenes footage of the band.
That said, we are inaugurating the new year with a SOVIETPANDA first: a contest. Starting today, you, dear SP reader, can enter to win a copy of the new QOTSA CD/DVD. The contest closes Friday at noon, so enter now and tell yr friends. Just kindly follow these instructions:
1. Send an email to sovietpanda+queens @ gmail.com. Yes, that is sovietpanda, followed by a plus sign, followed by the word queens, at gmail dot com, with no spaces. Please put the word "contest" in the subject line. Do it by this Friday (1/6) at noon (uh, central time).
2. In the email, include your name, address, and your favorite and least favorite music releases of 2005. (I won't use your address for anything outside this contest, promise. It'll be deleted when it's done.)
3. On Friday I will randomly select a winner to receive the DVD and a few cool QOTSA promo items.
That's it. Easy enough. Enter, tell your friends, and good luck.
