Oooh, clever David...
BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Music | Bowie asks fans to bootleg songs:
"David Bowie has asked bedroom DJs to create a new track for an internet competition by bootlegging his songs.
The British music star has given fans the right to create a new song by using computer music software to blend or 'mash up' two existing tracks.
The winning song will be released as an MP3 and its creator will win a car.
The contest requires entrants to blend any song from the singer's latest album Reality with any other Bowie song."
So, show that you are 'down wit da kids' and promote your new album. Very very clever David.
Still, nice to see established artists embracing new technology so openly. I shall be having a go myself, appropriate as my site is named after a Bowie track. I imagine Andy might be tempted, he's into all things musical.
