27 November 08 12:01 AM | Sandi | 6 comment(s)

I will keep this one simple!

Tell me in the comments below something you are THANKFUL for - or as many things as you like - but this will be ONE ENTRY per person, and will be a RANDOM draw from all entries.

I will leave this open for a couple of days so that the turkey can settle and your brain is working again :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Tombola Ticket #2 and #3!
25 November 08 12:01 AM | Sandi | 28 comment(s)

 First up, the winner of ticket #2 was randomly drawn from all entries in the photo caption challenge and the winner is...

 SOCCER REF!

So far

Ticket #1 - j15bell

Ticket #2 - Soccer Ref

Who will own ticket #3?

I am about to press shuffle on my ipod - the very first song that plays will be the MYSTERY SONG.

Whoever guesses the mystery song first, will win ticket #3!

You can ask me any question but I will only answer YES or NO

You can guess whenever you like, as many times as you like.

All questions must be posted on this blog. Questions on forum or questions emailled will likely be ignored.

Ready? SHUFFLE!

 

Tombola Ticket #2 still up for grabs!

No one won this yesterday so here is your next challenge.

In the comments below, add your own caption for this photo.

A winner will be RANDOMLY chosen from everyone who enters.

This stage will probably be open until Monday evening, so you have time to think up some good ones!

You can enter as many times as you like - each caption will count as one entry.

Have fun! Thanks j15bell for this challenge idea :)

The INAUGURAL SteepleMedia Holiday Tombola Prize Bonanza!
19 November 08 12:01 AM | Sandi | 16 comment(s)

Welcome to the very first Tombola event! This is going to be really fun :)

I have organized a veritable treasure chest of FIFTY prizes for this fun event.

Each of the fifty prizes has been randomly placed in a list and allocated a number between 1 and 50.

I will tell you what each of the fifty prizes are, but will NOT tell you where they are located in the list until the very end of the event.

There are two ways to get one of the 50 prizes. Every prize is worth a MINIMUM of $1.98. Most prizes are worth $5 - $10.

1/ You can PURCHASE a ticket number for $2. When you purchase a ticket you may CHOOSE ANY AVAILABLE number. There is no limit to the number of tickets you can purchase, so one person can theoretically purchase the whole lot for $100. To purchase tickets, you will need to email me at sandi@steeplemedia.net for payment instructions, and to confirm your ticket choices with me. All payments will be made via paypal.

2/ You can EARN a predetermined ticket number by performing various tasks on this blog. For example, TODAY I have chosen a TIME OF DAY between 9am and 9pm. The first person to leave a comment - ANY COMMENT in the blog AFTER that time will earn themselves ticket number 1! (If someone decides to purchase number 1 before a winner is found, then the winner will receive the next numerically available number as their prize.)

There will usually be one opportunity every day or two to earn tickets for free, some days you will be able to earn more than one ticket! You will have to keep checking back to see what is available!

The event will continue until all ticket numbers have been won or purchased OR until December 31st - whichever comes first.

When the whole event is over, ALL ticket numbers will have their prizes revealed and prizes will be sent to winners.

Anyone is eligible to enter, however only US or Canadian residents will get free shipping with their prizes. If you win a non-digital prize and live anywhere else in the world, you will need to cover the shipping costs or forfeit your prize. Shipping costs would depend on prize won.

Event only eligible in countries / states where allowable by law. You are responsible for checking whether you can play or not.

PRIZE LIST!

Listed by value. The prizes have all been RANDOMLY allocated to numbers 1 - 50, so you will not know which prize is for which number.

Ten prizes of  2 x MP3 downloads - worth $1.98 each

One Prize of 2 x $1 Philadelphia Cream Cheese coupons - worth $2

One prize of Allison Moorer Cd Single - $2

Four prizes of Alli weight loss starter bags - $3

Music.Review/Justin Nozuka - Holly
13 November 08 10:00 AM | Zach | with no comments

Justin Nozuka is a Canadian/American singer/songwriter. Talk about slashes! His debut album Holly has been released in the UK, Canada ad the US. He is the brother of R&B singer George Nozuka and the actor Philip Nozuka. He was bork on September 29, 1988 in New York to a Japanese father and the sister of actress Kyra Sedgwick.

Holly is his debut album, it has peaked at #6 on US Top Heatseekers. I first heard the song After Tonight on the radio last Friday night and instantly went to iTunes and downloaded the album. I also found Golden Train to be exceptionally entertaining. All of his songs have a great beat and they all have great lyrics. If you listened to Criminal on Tuesday's Music.Move post, thats another one of my favs from him. 

Nozuka has a great career ahead of him. Here is the track listing of the album Holly.

 

# Title Length Writers
1. Down in a Cold Dirty Well 4:28 Justin Nozuka
2. Golden Train 3:09 Justin Nozuka
3. Be Back Soon 4:21 Justin Nozuka
4. Mr. Therapy Man 3:39 Justin Nozuka
5. Supposed to Grow Old 4:22 Justin Nozuka

12. Why (demo version) Justin Nozuka
13. Lullabye Justin Nozuka

1. After Tonight (Music Video)
2. I'm in Peace (Acoustic Studio Video)
3. Interview

Below are a few tracks from the album: 

First up is After Tonight, This is a live performance:


Here, again, is Criminal.

Save Him is a very deep song, google the song and read the lyrics. It's a very powerful song.


Based on me listening to this album, oh about 10 times over the past few days, I'm giving it a 10/10 rating.

Music.Review/ David Archuleta (LISTEN HERE FIRST!)
06 November 08 10:00 AM | Zach | with no comments

Yes, you get to read about it before you go out and buy this one! I was very excited to finally get to review a pre-released album! David Archuleta is the runner-up of the seventh season of American Idol. Being the runner up, it surprises me that his album is being released a week before his opponent, David Cook.

His self-titled album is set to release on Tuesday, November 11. The singles off of the album so far are Crush and the next one released will be Angles. I'm going to do my best to get a few of the songs posted RIGHT HERE so you can hear them before you buy the CD!!

Here's the Track listing.

# Title Length
1. "Crush"   3:32
2. "Touch My Hand"   4:21
3. "Barriers"   3:50
4. "My Hands"   4:04
5. "A Little Too Not Over You"   3:18
6. "You Can"   3:42
7. "Running"   3:35
8. "Desperate"   3:41
9. "To Be with You"   3:25
10. "Don't Let Go"   3:47
11. "Your Eyes Don't Lie"   3:04
12. "Angels"   4:09

Deluxe edition

# Title
13. "Waiting on Yesterday"    
14. "Falling"    
15. "Let Me Go"    
16. "Somebody Out There (pre-order only)"    

Wal-Mart edition

# Title
13. "Works for Me"    

 

The album is really good! After he's done with American Idol's song choosings for him, Archuleta should try to do some music like Jesse McCartney style. I think that would fit him. I think they both have similiar styles. This isnt bad for an American Idol released album, I look forward to see what Archuleta can do without the influence of Idol over his shoulder.

Below is a sneak preview of his album!! Enjoy!
