We mentioned the groundbreaking news that BT had been announced as the sponsors of the Isle Of Wight festival a little while back, and now I’m pleased to be able to point you in the direction of a competition to win tickets.
If you head to our friends at Shiny Shiny, you’ll find, like, the easiest question ever. All you do, right, is answer it. And then, right, email it to them. And then, yeah, wait. And then, maybe, you’ll be lucky and be on your way to see Iggy the Pop. And if you don’t win, what have you lost? Nothing but time. Enter the Isle of Wight competition at Shiny Shiny

Festival season is officially upon us, folks. If you’re any kind of music fan you’ll probably be getting yourself along to some kind of outdoor music experience at some point during the next few months.
The daddy of them all, of course, remains Glastonbury. And despite all the debate about this year’s line-up and client

While we’re on the subject of our friends at Nollie, if you’re a fan of delicate-but-not-mopey, chilled-out acoustic goodness, you might want to check out their latest comp.
They’re giving away 5 copies of the double EP from Angus and Julia Stone, Heart Full of Wine / Chocolate and Cigarettes. Er, does a double EP equal one album? Not sure of the current exchange rate regarding formats.
Anyway, go here to enter the competition - and if you’re not sure whether it’s worth it, the delightful “Just A Boy”, which you can hear/see over the page, should convince you.
You use your camera to shoot video. You use your phone to shoot video. You may even be capturing the world in high definition. Now’s the time to get your footage working for you by entering our competition and scoring a great prize.
We have teamed up with Visual Networking experts, Cisco, to offer shedloads of cool prizes and all you have to do is show us a video that illustrates ‘My Video Life’.
Moby, the man that launches a thousand cars, is getting all geared up for the release of his new album. That may not be thrilling to you right now… but it could be. The ‘intimate’ club, indigO2, will play host to one of the “biggest club events of the year” and that’s the launch party for Moby’s new LP ‘Last Night’. Joining him on the decks will be Mylo and Anders Trentemoller. Still not excited? Well, Moby-ites, O2 is offering customers the chance to host this launch party for Moby’s album.
‘Fill the Floor with Moby’ gives you the chance to host the party and essentially, get to party the night away (with 1,500 guests) with Moby and his pals. So what do you need to do to be in with a chance of winning such a prize? Well, I advise you click over the jump for starters.
Yup, you read that right. All you have to do is take part in our little survey, telling us what you think of our wee blog network - it takes approx three minutes, I timed it with my Casio stopwatch - and you could win a 16GB iPod Touch. That’s

XFM have announced the shortlist for their New Music Award, designed to recognise the best UK debut album of 2007. Listeners have been voting for their choices recently, and the shortlist is: Air Traffic ‘Fractured Life’
The Enemy ‘We’ll Live and Die In These Towns’
Frank Turner ‘Sleep Is For The Week’
Kate Nash ‘Made Of Bricks’
Klaxons ‘Myths Of The Near Future’
The Maccabees ‘Colour It In’
The Pigeon Detectives ‘Wait For Me’
The Twang ‘Love It When I Feel Like This’
The View ‘Hats Off To The Buskers’
The Wombats ‘Proudly Present.. A Guide To Love, Loss and Desperation’
Weird to see Klaxons on a list of “new” albums - feels like they’ve been around forever already, doesn’t it? Anyway, if you shuddered at the mention of Kate Nash’s name, or vomited at the thought of The Pigeon Detectives receiving an award, there may be something you can do.
Just a reminder about the fab new moblog we’ve set up in conjunction with LG, and the competition we’re running, through which two lucky UK-ites can win an LG Viewty mobile phone each. Pretty special, obviously!
