It's Monday, so that means time for a new "How many degrees of Mixview" match-up!
This week, I'm going to choose two artists that are meaningful to me: tomorrow night, I'm going to catch Dieselboy in a small club here in Seattle. He's definitely one of my favorites right now. So let's start with him...and let's go on a musical journey through my varied tastes and end at Sarah McLachlan, who is by far the artist I've seen in concert the most in my life. Yes, really.
Last week's winner of the Zune Home A/V Pack is QuarterRoy00, who got from Amy Winehouse to Ray Charles in 5 moves! There were quite a few of you with six, but QuarterRoy was the first and only to find a five-move path. (QuarterRoy00, I'll contact you privately to get information so we can send you your prize!)
This week's challenge, I have to admit, is harder...so get crackin'! Start at Dieselboy, end at Sarah McLachlan.
Just to refresh your memory, here's what to do:
n You can use the Zune client software or the Zune web site – click “Mixview” when you’re on the starting artist
n You can click from the starting artist to any other artist or album that appears in Mixview – but NOT listeners (since listeners cards change)
n You have to submit your path to the “ZContest” account via a forums private message in the official Zune forums. No other method of submitting a path will be accepted!
To do this, just go to forums.zune.net, search for a post by user "ZContest," then click "Private Message" when you're viewing the post.
n The artists will be announced on Zune Insider (here) every Monday at 10 a.m. PST
n The contest closes each week at 5 p.m. PST on Friday – so your submission needs to be in the ZContest private message box by then
* No purchase necessary. Open only to US residents 18+. Challenge ends May 15, 2009. See full rules for details.
