ENGINE ROOM RECORDINGS PRIZE PACK GIVEAWAY

Posted on January 7th, 2010 by ekko

Sometimes, I give away stuff I kinda like. Sometimes, I give away stuff I don’t really like, but I think you might like. And then, there’s days like today. I have not one or two but three tremendously cool prize packs to give away, courtesy of Engine Room Recordings, and, on top of that, I have a free album for all of you–each and every one!

The free one, available here, is a sampler of Engine Room Recordings’ artists. It’s got something from each of the albums below. Speaking of which . . . Each prize pack will include all of the following albums:

-Guilt By Association, Volume 2 (the 15th best album of 2009!) (www.myspace.com/guiltbyassociation)
-The Bloodsugars – I Can’t Go On, I’ll Go On (www.thebloodsugars.com)
-Middle Distance Runner – The Sun and Earth (www.middledistancerunner.com)
-Porter Block – The Gowanus Yacht Club (www.porterblockmusic.com)
-Lowry – Love is Dead (www.myspace.com/lowry)
-Israel Darling – Dinosaur Bones and Mechanical Hands (www.myspace.com/israeldarling)

Here’s how to win: Drop a comment, including your e-mail, with your fantasy cover. The song you’d most like to hear covered, and a band or band(s) who you think would do your tune justice. I’ll pick the three winners who I think picked the best song/band combo. Then, check your e-mail in a week for an e-mail from me telling me you’re a winner! It’s that simple!

A few tastes of what you can win:

Youth’s Magic Horn-Porter Block

Tainted Love-My Brightest Diamond

Good luck!

I would love for “Love is the law” (the suburbs)to be covered by She Wants Revenge. His voice would go well with it, not to mention the electronic spin they could put on it.

Jack White covering Led Zeppelin’s “The Song Remains The Same” from Houses of the Holy.

I’d love to see what Jack White could do with the guitar solos in that song.

I Wanna Be With You (Raspberries) covered by Pearl Jam

HOW CAN I GET IN ON THIS?

Email me
for the specifics but, basically:
I listen to all submissions of entire albums, not songs or compilations.
With rare exceptions I will not review material protected by the RIAA. So Sony, BMG, etc., don't start sending me crap. I'm not interested.
I don't listen to streams.
I won't read online comic-books. I may read .pdfs. I will read all hardcopy submissions.
I will review only submissions that I can recommend. I'm not here to do negative reviews.
Contact me to tell me to remove something. I'll take it down within 24 hours.
