Nick Nicoludis :: Thursday, March 11th, 2010 1:35 pm
Wu-Tang Clan have been heroes of mine ever since I started to think I was a rebel in 6th grade. I’ve often wondered if I could cut it on the grimy streets of Shaolin. Well the time has come, and we don’t have to wonder and day dream about about kickin’ it with the clan and smoking els. Wu-Tang Clan have announced that they are looking for 9 “generals” to join the clan, and what better way than to decide? Contest time! You just got to ask yourself: you think you got “Witty Unpredictable Talent And Natural Game?” MORE »

Matt Kiebus :: Wednesday, February 10th, 2010 4:45 pm
Weezer has teamed up with Indaba Music to offer an online contest to remix “Love is the Answer” off of their latest album, Raditude. Fellow musicians and fans of Weezer can go to the Indaba Music website to work on their remixes and the public will vote on the top 10 winners. The talented winners will receive a autographed copy of Ratitude and have their work featured on both weezer.com and myspace.com/weezer. The grand prize winner will get the unique opportunity to collaborate with lead singer Rivers Cuomo to create a brand new song. The contest begins today and will submissions will continue to be accepted for the next four weeks followed by a two week voting period.
“The idea here is people do their own version of our song based on the music they are into,” explained Weezer’s Wilson. Hopefully we will get versions of the song in other languages, and in a bunch of different musical styles. It would be great if people got inspired to try new things and are really creative.”
Indaba Music offers an online set of tools for musicians to collaborate from all around the world.
