CDANDLP.COM CONTEST
Sleeveface has hooked up with the online music marketplace, cdandlp.com, for a competition that could net you a 150 Euro voucher to spend on the site.
Here’s the lowdown: You do a Sleeveface. You post it onto the gallery of cdandlp.com
There is then a public vote for the world’s favourite Sleeveface. On June 30th, the votes will be counted and the winner receives his or her voucher. That’s not all. Four runners-up receive a 50 Euro voucher, the next 10 win a 25 Euro voucher and the next 20 win a CD And LP t-shirt.
Just think 150 Euros… it’s the equivalent of 118 UK pounds – which equates to a seriously hefty amount of music!
Or you could spend the lot on some rare Sun Ra jazz record, that would be pretty dedicated.
May the best Sleeveface win!
Extra-curricular activities
Recently I have been mostly crossing out large parts of my diary and writing the names of summer music festivals in big capital letters.
Festivals, oh boy, festivals.
A few festival organisers have been in touch with us – to ask if we can play vinyl under the name Sleeveface DJs… and bring some of that madcap party atmosphere for which we’re known.
So we will be partying and Sleevefacing and showing loads of previously unseen Sleeveface video footage at:
Glastonbury
Latitude
Bestival
in the UK plus a couple of other festivals – to be announced!
Festivals are also the perfect place to do Sleevefacing. Everyone’s a bit more willing and it’s like the best icebreaker exercise ever discovered, leading to peace, insight and true understanding. Why is this? Well, if you can find me at a festival and ask me about this around 4 o’clock in the morning then I will be happy to converse about the ramifications in great detail.
Sleeveface party! This week in London / Cardiff
This week we are throwing two Sleeveface parties in the UK – Thursday night in London and Friday night in Cardiff.
Whether you’re a hardcore Sleevefacer or a total newcomer – or somewhere in between – you’ll be welcome to attend. Come and meet the real faces behind the sleeves! Dance to heavy funk and other fine tunes! Exclaim things loudly!
If you’ve not tried Sleeveface before, we have a stack of sleeves you can borrow and a helpful photographer on standby.
