Want to go to the Playground Weekender for free?
Well here at Deckhead we can help you out with that! Thanks to the playground group, I am proud to announce that we are giving away a double pass to the Playground Weekender 2009 for free, all you have to do is win our competition haha!

The tickets are 3 day camping passes, which means you can get on site, if you bring your own tent it wont cost you a thing, alternatively there are a range of accom options you can check out at the website.

So basically here is what you have to do, I know its tacky, but use your imagination and go for gold! The Competition lasts until January 7th 2009! So you have just under a month to use your imagination and try to win the tickets

What is your ultimate weekend playground? submit your entry in any form possible (that you can actually get to us)! email - werdeckheads@gmail.com

For those of you who don't know here is some info about it and the artists that are playing!
The next festival is from the 6th-8th of February 2009 at the Del Rio Riverside Resort, Wiseman’s Ferry, at the Hawkesbury River just 1.5 hours from Sydney. The appeal of the Festival is not just the artists playing, but the quirky characters you will see floating around, Saturday is traditionally fancy dress day, where you can see everything from Mario to cross dressing males. For the full lineup, photos from last year, and all the information that you need visit their website -Link

If this sounds like your cup of tea, buy tickets here!!

Out of all the artists, I can write about these four International artists, however I am looking forward to some variety at a festival for once

Tronto based duo Crystal Castles are one of the biggest stars in this modern day blogosphere/alternate world, they have amassed a cult following through their uncompromising and intense delivery, and shows packed solely from word of mouth. These guys will definitely pull a different crowd to what is norm at playground weekender, but fuck it, the more the merrier.

Edit[thanks "Paul"] -

Vanished by Crystal Castles is actually a remix of Sex City which was rejected by Van She's label, Modular. Have you noticed that Van She's name is hidden in the song title? Van(i)She(d)! -

I first stumbled across The Streets when his Original Pirate Material album dropped, with his music he likes to comment on the flaws in society, this is most evident in the track The Irony Of It All, it compared the way stoners and drunks act, and what is legal and what isn't. At the start of 2006 I was lucky enough to catch Mike live, and despite the fact his fly was undone he puts on a brilliantly intimate show.

This just in! Lyrics Born has been added to the lineup, as a youth I must admit Lyrics Born and Blackalicious were two of the main reasons I got into Hip hop and Rap, his lyrics were pure, and not sinister. They were aimed at the masses, who wanted to branch out from all the bitches and hoes that rappers at the time were rapping about.

If Brazilians weren't freaks at football (soccer), then Edu K would be the best export to come out of Brazil, he has helped revolutionise the Baile Funk sound, and the whole electro/house etc etc music scene in Brazil. After seeing him at we love sounds, and then at the after party I have a lot of respect for this man, and he now has been added to the second round release of artists, so believeyoume I am getting very excited!
I recently bought the Headbanger EP, and its hot hot hot! I have got in trouble before for posting 320kbs songs, so here is the 128, if you enjoy it, go get the EP.
