The BPA Video contest!

A few weeks ago I posted on a remix contest that Fatboy Slim and the BPA were running in conjunction with the release of the first single from the album, the David Byrne and Dizzee Rascal track Toe Jam. Well, if you don't have mad remix skillz, but are a video whiz (and no, I'm not talking about home movies in your bedroom), you've got another chance to score some even more impressive prizes (including the entire Fatboy Slim discography on VINYL!).

The BPA have teamed up with Dailymotion and put together a challenge: Take that same track Toe Jam and cook up your own video for it (check out the steamy "official" video here - with far too many black boxes moving about like syncronized swimmers). Submit it by February 1st, 2009 and you'll be in the running for that hunk o' vinyl I mentioned above along with some other prizes that aren't nearly as impressive but are still freakin' sweeter than tater tots.

And here's something else that's sweeter than tater tots: a track off a teenie tiny 3" BPA promo disc that found it's way into my grubby hands that you won't find on the full length album that will hit shelves on January 6th (pre-order it here).






Visit their website and become the BPA's friend on MySpace.
