Win the new album from Taylor Swift!



America's most spectacular new star Taylor Swift releases her first international album "Fearless" this year and we have a copy of it up for grabs as well as a Taylor Swift singing doll!
Taylor's debut outside her own shores was previewed to brilliant effect with a show-stoppingly glamorous, high-octane show in London in early September 2008. Now, with the release of "Fearless", accompanied by her fizzing personality and charm, the whole world is about to be on her side.
To be in with a chance to win a copy of her new album and a singing Taylor Swift doll simply answer the following question.

Redeemer, New Album from Flamboyant Japanese Hard Rock Band D’espairsRay, Makes U.S. Debut


After Japan’s most intriguing new musical export performed its first major U.S. series of concerts on 2008’s Rockstar Taste Of Chaos Tour, D’espairsRay (Dis-pairz’-ray) returns to America in 2009 with its most accessible album to date. Whether tagged industrial, metal, or J-Rock, the band’s third album, Redeemer (Hip-O/UMe), to be released July 21, 2009, is just the quartet’s second to be issued in the U.S.
D’espairsRay rose from Tokyo’s vibrant indie underground scene, releasing demo tapes, maxi-singles and EPs, often in very limited quantities and sold at only a few stores or given to fans at concerts. But the distinctive sound, unique visual concept, and enigmatic live shows from singer-lyricist Hizumi, guitarist Karyu, bassist Zero and drummer Tsukasa soon gained a wide following. The group’s 2003 single “Garnet” became its first to hit the top spot on the Japanese indie chart and in 2004 D’espairsRay traveled outside its homeland for the first time, playing in Berlin and Paris.
