PROG ROCK ALLERGICS

It arrived in the post a couple of days ago and we have been playing it over and over (sorry neighbours). It's got these people on it: Jesse Rose, Crookers and the Count & Sinden. And it is mixed together by Daniel Haaksman who truly knows his baile funk. We've got two copies to give away to you, lucky readers.

I watched Girls Rock: The Movie yesterday and spent most of the time either beaming or wishing there had been a Rock Camp in Lincolnshire (there was 'Limelight' drama club but Beth Ditto didn't come and teach us how to scream). It is sweet, funny and just a little bit touching. And what do you know, we have two copies on DVD* to give away to you, lucky readers, after the jump...

Now here's a wonderful chance to get your hands on some bona fide pop memorabilia. It's the modern equivalent of a pair of blue suede shoes, or Peaches' Fuck The Pain Away pants (of which, readers, I still have a pair). Yes, you can win a Katy Perry Cherry Chapstick, like the giant one she rode at the MTV Awards, only smaller and for your actual gob.

Popbitch have done a Christmas annual. We looked at it in Borders last week and it made us do filthy laughs. (It was on a table quite close to the history books but we were not laughing at war, other customers.) Kindly, they have provided three annuals for us to give away. And for the big overall winner, there is also a swank Popbitch T-shirt, which has Liza Minnelli on it, just over the left breast:

It was the MTV Europe Awards last night. Blah blah blah Rick Astley hilariously ironic blah blah blah Perez Hilton red carpet blahhhhhhhhhhh. The most bizarre bit of all? Katy Perry riding in on a giant cherry chapstick. Which categorically did not look like anything else at all, OK? Because she is a girl-kissing girl-kisser.

The ever-wonderful French label Kitsune have given us all of their totally brilliant compilation CDs - numbers one to the brand new six - to pass on to you as a competition prize. Were it not wildly unethical, we would be entering ourselves. It is a really good prize.

If you squint, this Virgins T-shirt is not very rude. If you look closer you'll see that it is really quite naughty indeed, what with it featuring lots of penises engaged in what can only be described as filth. We are too prudish to wear it out of the house, and so would like to offer it to you, dear, brave reader, as a competition prize.

Apparently this "digital" lark is the thing of the future. So we're offering you the chance to win a pair of tickets to the BT Digital Music Awards 2008, which take place in London on October 1. We're not sure who's playing yet, but expect live bands and general award ceremony shenanigans (for example, a Crib slicing themselves open with a table - NB this is not guaranteed). It should be a Good Night.

Fancy seeing Wild Beasts, The Teenagers, cocknbullkid, These New Puritans, Florence & The Machine and Jerry Bouthier in London next Friday? For free? Then you'll be wanting to enter this competition to win a pair of tickets for London Airwaves.
