Prize Frenzy™!
Frenzor™ is nothing if not a gentleman. Sure, he's also a fetid gargoyle hellbeast with eyes as black as coal and leathery wings that block out the very sun, but that's not to say that he doesn't know how to treat a lady. Or a fellow gentleman. In fact, he knows how to treat anyone who wants to call 8231 0881 at 1pm on Fri 2 June: you don't want to know what happens to those that offend his refined sensibilities, but those that call with a polite enquiry about prizery will be well rewarded with the following:
1. Pacifier are back with rock on their minds and in their trousers: Wade Howland demands an explanation from Jon Toogood in this issue, and we have two double passes up for grabs for both their Fri 2 July show at Victor Harbor's Crown Hotel and their Sat 3 July show at the Adelaide UniBar, thanks to El Dorado.
2. Julian Cram reckons that the new Beastie Boys album 'To The 5 Boroughs' is an old-school delight - and you can share said delights of this issue's 'We Liked It and You Will Too' by grabbing a copy, thanks to EMI.
3. Andrew P Street negotiates the interviewing minefield that is Stephin Merritt on the subject of the marvellous new Magnetic Fields album 'i' - and we have five copies up for grabs, thanks to the kind folks at Warners.
4. Nessa Morgan's soulful debut 'Sex & Poverty' has just been released: she tells Chris Niehus all about it in this issue, and BMG have come to the party with five copies.
5. Cassie Hilditch quizzes Paul Thompson about all things Franz Ferdinand in this issue and Sony celebrate by handballing us five copies of their incendiary Take Me Out single.
6. Ryan Smith chats with Gyroscope's frontman Daniel Sanders about their forthcoming Adelaide show - and you could be right there with them at the Enigma Bar on Sun 4 July by grabbing one of the two double passes that FMR and Scorpion Entertainment have set our way.
7. Kelis comes to Heaven for the first time ever and Future Entertainment want to get you in the mood via a copy of her 'Tasty' album. Neato!
8. Bluebottle Kiss's Jamie Hutchings explains to Ben Revi that sometimes bands have more songs than they know what to do with, as evidenced by their sterling new single (well, mini-album really: there's six b-sides!) The Last Playboy In Town, of which we have three copies thanks to Anouk Van Meeuwen Publicity.
9. Sender took out the top spot in the 2002 Musicoz competition (check www.musicoz.org for details on their year's contest) and now they're signed to Sony: Adam Hood asks them all about it, and Sony shows them off with copies of their self-titled debut CD-EP.
10. Or maybe you'd rather just shake yer thang? We have copies of 'Mint 4: Essential House Music' double CD compilations, because UMG know what you need.
11. Steve Jones chats with the tonguemeister himself, Mr Gene Simmons, about his life as an 'Asshole' - and conveniently enough, we have five copies of Mr Simmons' album of that name, thanks to BMG.
Online Only Frenzy™!
It's not Free Comic Book Day until Sat 3 July, but the Frenztron5000™ has rent the very fabric of time and space to make it come early at dbmagazine.com.au: the good folks at Pulp Fiction Comics have handed over three "graphic novels" (ie: nice glossy softcover books that collect up an entire series of comics): 'The Filth' (written by Grant "The Invisibles" Morrison), the modern superhero reimagining that is 'Supreme Power' and Mike Mignola's 'Hellboy' spin-off 'BPRD.' And since Free Comic Book Day coincides with the opening weekend of 'Spider-Man 2', we're giving them to the first three people to send andrew@dbmagazine.com.au the answers to these comic/movie-related questions:
1. Which comic book character has NOT starred in a feature film: The Hulk, The Punisher, Wonder Woman, The Phantom.
2. Sam Raimi directed both 'Spider-Man' and 'Spider-Man 2': what was his first feature film?
3. Alan Moore Corner: either
EASY: Two of Alan Moore's comics have been turned into (god-awful) films in the last five years. What are they?
OR
LESS EASY: What idiosyncratic director optioned Alan Moore's 'Watchmen' comic in the 90s but abandoned it after over a year or development, insisting that he couldn't turn it into a film without destroying everything great about it?
