Gorillaz Giveaway by Ami Kealoha

Like the concept itself, Gorillaz: Rise of the Ogre is a part fictional, part real account of the band's rise to fame. Faux interviews and Jamie Hewlett's illustrations, as well as a few real photos, make up the hardcover book, bringing out both imagined and true-to-life details. Highlights include track-by-track "making of" stories, British humor and, overall, behind-the-scenes insight into one of the most innovative and successful creative projects of recent years.

Though Gorillaz: Rise of the Ogre has been out since last month, CH has three copies to give away to three readers, who will also get a poster and a full set of the Kid Robot Gorillaz CMYK toys (pictured left). We'll award these prizes to the first three readers who tell us what mode of transportation the Gorillaz guitarist Noodle arrived in when they were first forming the band, according to Rise of the Ogre.

To enter, follow the contact link at the bottom of the page, select "Gorillaz contest" from the pull down menu and send us your answers before this Thursday, 21 December 2006, 11:59pm EST.

Backstage Pass: Rock & Roll Photography
From the utterly personal collection of an anonymous donor, "Backstage Pass" is a book of 120 striking photographs of rock & roll's greatest contributors. As curious as the unnamed collector himself, two compelling qualities define his accumulation of photos. They're all taken during the artist's prime and the musician is actually making eye contact with the camera, affording a small glimpse of the person behind...
In Rainbows Animated Music Video Contest Winners
Back in March 2008, aniBoom, the online home of animation, teamed up with Radiohead's TBD Records for a contest inviting fans and animators to create a video for any of the songs from the band's wildly successful album, In Rainbows.
