[MP3] Stereolab – Visionary Road Maps
[MP3] Stereolab – Excursions Into Oh, A-Oh (new single)

If you haven’t seen them once in the 15 years they’ve been around, now would be a good time… aside from the fact that their music is pretty enjoyable, they did sorta help pioneer the genre, if you know what I mean…check out tour dates here.

[MP3] White Rose Movement – Pig Heil Jam

Well, it’s about that time…I figured since we just had our 100th post and we’re getting lots of hits, it would be a good idea to have our first contest…now I thought long and hard about this (the rules and details, etc)…and I think I’ve narrowed it down to be a pretty tough one…but first, the prize:

THE PRIZE:

A currently out of stock Animal Collective T-Shirt, provided to us by the ever-so-kind Paw Tracks:

It’s a size medium, bright green, 100% cotton shirt…fits kind of large though, but it will probably shrink when washed…anyways, on to the rules!

THE CONTEST

Ok I tried to make this tough for you guys…basically I’m giving you two very short audio clips from songs, of which you have to identify the musician/band(s) in question. Sounds simple, maybe, but I think you’ll need all the luck you can get (unless you have the exact same crazed music taste that I have). If this takes forever, I’ll update with hints…but for now, here are the mystery clips:

[MP3] Mystery Clip #1
[MP3] Mystery Clip #2

Now again, these are pretty hard… You can enter the contest simply by leaving your answers in the comments. You must have the answers to both. Please don’t just post one answer if you don’t know the other, because then you may be helping out the other “contestants” (obviously). The first person to guess them both right wins! Also, please make sure to enter your contact info, like an email address or something, so I can get in touch with the winner. Thanks, and good luck!

UPDATE:

Ok, well at first it seemed most were having trouble with the first…then that others were having trouble with the second. That’s a slight dilemma…so I thought I’d put up another *bonus* mystery clip…so if you know one of the other two and this one, you win! Here’s the bonus clip:

[MP3] Mystery Clip *Bonus*

“Maybe you had something else to do that night. Maybe, instead of staying home and watching ‘The Tonight Show With Jay Leno,’ you went out and quenched your thirst. (Maybe to excess.) And maybe, though you’ve been meaning to subscribe for years, you have never quite gotten around to ordering TiVo. And so maybe you missed one of the best and most unexpected televised musical performances in years….” (NY Times)

It’s actually really good. The song combines Thicke’s Oh Shooter with Lil’ Wayne’s rap and works really well…and you know what…the performance was really good too. Both Wayne and Thicke fed off eachother perfectly and despite Thicke suffering a little bit from White Boy Syndrome, he didn’t look out of place at all and even through in some of his own moves as well (I love when he runs from the back of the stage and pushes Lil’ Wayne out of the way to sing the chorus).

Anyways, I ripped the MP3 for you guys. So if BV couldn’t persuade you to see/listen to this, then maybe the easy-access of a pre-packaged, conspicuously placed MP3 can:
