THE POLYPHONIC SHOPPING SPREE CONTEST
November 24, 2003
[NOTE: This contest ended on December 1, 2003. Thanks to all entrants.]
MOVIE POOP SHOOT invites you to join the cult of the POLYPHONIC SPREE.
Really -- according to the Dallas Morning News, the band THE POLYPHONIC SPREE, the new 22-piece ensemble that sprung up from the mind of former TRIPPING DAISY singer Tim DeLaughter, "...looks like a cult and sounds like Pink Floyd crossed with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir."
Not only do we want you to experience the unique sound of the SPREE, but we want to outfit one winner in an actual SPREE robe.
First, some background on the band:
THE POLYPHONIC SPREE is more than a 22-person ensemble in white robes, more than a massive orchestra of stringed instruments and horns and theremins, more than a psychedelic pop band. THE POLYPHONIC SPREE is sonic proof that broken hearts can break hearts open, that life regenerates and shines, that one adventurous voice (or two dozen) can change the world. THE POLYPHONIC SPREE can claim an album's worth of songs, but their spiritual stake in the ground runs deeper than any needle can groove. THE POLYPHONIC SPREE leaves behind a shimmering wake of smiles and sunshine footsteps. Now, more than ever, music makes a difference.
THE PRIZES
ONE Grand-Prize Winner will receive:
An authentic POLYPHONIC SPREE white robe (one size better fit all)
and
A copy of the SPREE's debut CD, The Beginning Stages of...The Polyphonic Spree (which also includes a special 4-song bonus CD featuring live and alternate versions of the songs "Have a Day," "It's the Sun," "Soldier Girl" and "Light & Day."
TWO Runner's-Up will receive:
A copy of the SPREE's debut CD, The Beginning Stages of...The Polyphonic Spree (and bonus disc).
TO ENTER
Send an e-mail to me with the following information:
Subject: Polyphonic Shopping Spree
Body: Simply tell me what SPREE song was featured in a recent commercial, and what product the commercial was for.
That's it! Winners will be chosen at random from the correct entries.
THE PARTICULARS
The contest is open to residents of the continental United States only.

You must enjoy music that is influenced by Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Brian Wilson and other lush, orchestral larger-than-life music experiments.
You must own and be able to operate a computer, or else be persuasive enough to convince a friend and/or family member to enter for you.
That's it!
TIMING
The contest will run from the time you read this (assuming you read this before the contest ends) until midnight on Monday, December 1. All entries must be received by this time for consideration and to avoid relentless mocking from the MPS staff.
We reserve the right to blah blah blah, and all decisions are blah blah. For a full list of rules, click blah blah blah.
