Yet Another Milestone Contest! Half Nelson Soundtrack Giveaway!

Folks, you've done it again. Another 100k of you have gone and visited this blog in the past month, bringing total visits to above 200k and generally blowing my very small mind. Thank you I say. For you regulars, you know what this means: another GIVEAWAY! As usual, we have the perfect giveaway to commemorate the occasion. What's really awesome about the giveaway is that it is meant to promote another excellent milestone, the release of the low budget flick HALF NELSON, starring the very Canadian Ryan Gossling (The Notebook), Anthony Mackie, and newcomer Shareeka Epps. The story focuses on an inner-city junior high school teacher who forms an unexpected friendship with one of his students after she discovers him getting high after school. Ah, teacher got high. Interesting. The movie opens in NY August 11, and many other places August 25.

More importantly, this flick was scored by Canadian super collective, Broken Social Scene, and includes cuts from many of our friends including Billy Bragg, The Marshall Tucker Band, and The Somnambulants. Here's a peek at the soundtrack and some sample tracks, of course.

So as destiny would have it, I have two Half Nelson Soundtrack cds to give away! As usual, we have to decide this by way of contest. Since I probably suck at inspiring competition, I decided to borrow a contest idea from rbally (with your kind permission dear Jennings!). Basically, all you have to do is write down a word you think sounds great (in the comments section of this post). Can be of any length or even a combination of words, so long as it is one word and the components are known to English language. The final product need not necessarily have a dictionary meaning, so long as the components do. Damn, that is smart! And remember to leave your email address, only winners get notified. My family members and friends can play. I might even join the fun.
