Vinyl Collective

To help celebrate their interview feature, and more importantly, to help celebrate vinyl, Vinyl Collective is offering one lucky punknews.org reader a chance to win $100 to spend in their webstore. That's right, 100 big ones!

Of course, it's not as simple as just asking for the gift certificate. To win the prize, take some time to look at the picture provided and correctly name every piece of vinyl in the photo. Color counts in determining who is closest to getting them all, so vinyl nerds may have the upper hand in this one. Check out the interview for the photo.

The only hint we're giving you is that there are more than 10 records in the picture, but less than 15. How much less? 4 less.

Please send your entries to info@vinylcollective and start figuring out how to spend that cash via their web store.

For those of you not enjoying the smaller photo, here's a bigger one.

Win a Nintendo Wii from Fuse

It's critically acclaimed, impossible to find and people get pretty enthusiastic about it. Of course, we're talking about the Nintendo Wii. You can wait in line and drop $250.00 on one, or you can simply fill out a form and win one, courtesy of Punknews.org and everyone's favorite music television network, Fuse.

Along the Wii, runner ups will win CD prize packages from Warped Tour acts including Family Force 5, The Starting Line, Amber Pacific, Kaddisfly, The Human Abstract, and All Time Low.

You can drop you entry into the virtual ballot box right here.

Win a skateboard and swag from Rooney

The contests don't stop at Punknews.org, apparently, as we've got another neat little giveaway for you guys. We've got a unique little package from Rooney which coincides with the release of their new record, Calling the World.

The band has given us a signed longboard and a Rooney prize pack (tote bag, t-shirt, Calling the World CD) for one winner and a prize package for an additional four others. A longboard is something we've never given away but I keep seeing people using them to get around the city so they're pretty useful and hey, it's a long skateboard.

You can try your luck by checking out their video and the all-important order form right here.

Ryan's Hope invades Canada

Next week Chicagoland's Ryan's Hope will hit the road and storm the Canadian border, determined to lay siege to an igloo and return it to Illinois for their own nefarious purposes. We're giving away a pair of tickets for each show on the Canadian tour, so click below to get your name on that list!

But wait, you're not in Canada yet you still want to share in the glory? Well then check below for our merch contest to win some neat swag from Punknews Records. That's right folks, there are two contests to be found below, and we might just look the other way and let you enter both.

You'll find the tour dates sandwiched between the two contests, so check them out. Ryan's Hope is supporting their recent full length Apocalypse in Increments.

Mustache: Win an 8-Bit Nintendo and Excite Bike (?)

Later this month, the indubitable dudes from Mustache will be releasing their new album. The record is titled Babes Say the Hottest Things and is due out July 24, 2007.

To celebrate this in the most appropriate way possible, the band has put together a classic Nintendo package complete with the great Excitebike, a new CD Walkman and copy of the new album. It's all perfectly reasonable if you understand Mustache, and you will once you check out a few songs like this one: "I Got a (Mustache!)."

You can find the rules and particulars right here.

Free Shows and Schwag: On the road with the Gaslight Anthem and Signal to Noise

Punknews.org will be hitting the road for two weeks to bring you a special contest. We'll be traveling with the Gaslight Anthem and Signal to Noise across the U.S. and want you to come hang out. On a select string of seven dates, we'll be giving one person per show a great prize package.

L'il Bush

Even though we don't do contests for TV shows very often, between the obvious love of Comedy Central's animated programming I see on our boards, to the lineup of musicians involved, it seems like a pretty easy decision to give this one a go.

Comedy Central's new program, L'il Bush features Iggy Pop, Jeff Tweedy, Frank BLack, Colin Meloy, Dave Grohl, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and more. It is a series of cartoons created by Donick Cary, a writer of The Simpsons. The show previously appeared on recently defunct mobile carrier Amp'd Mobile, and has been picked up a six episode run beginning this month. Pop will be playing Lil Rummy, and other characters include Lil' Condi, Lil' Cheney, Lil' Jeb and of course, Lil Bush.

To celebrate, Comedy Central has provided a neat little prize pack of DVDs from South Park, Drawn Together.
