Asthmatic Kitty, Sufjan Steven’s record label, approached me recently about being a “celebrity judge” for their music video contest. (You could lose the quotes for some of the other judges — Peaches, the bassist from Arcade Fire, the directors of Little Miss Sunshine.) It looks pretty fun. You take a mp3 from Rafter, an artist on the label with a forthcoming album called Music for Total Chickens, make a vid, and post it to YouTube. There’s two $500 prizes, one for highest amount of views (quantity) and one that us judges like best (quality). I checked today and there’s only 14 entries so far. The deadline’s Jan. 23, get all the details and the mp3s here [UPDATE: It’s over.].
What a freaking cool label they are 🙂 I’ll look forward to seeing the outcome!
