Want 3-day Passes to Lollapalooza?

WIN PASSES TO LOLLAPALOOZA!

Famecast is giving away two 3-day passes to the 2008 Lollapalooza festival to one lucky FameCast fan or artist. This is your chance to be front and center for headliners Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, Kanye West, NIN and FameCast’s own Sofia Talvik.

All you have to do is create a video less than 3 minutes long telling us why you want to go to Lollapalooza. It doesn’t have to be professionally done, creativity is what counts here. Submissions are due by July 4th. The winner will be chosen July 11th and the festival will be held Aug. 1-3 in Chicago (please note airfare and accommodations are not included).

**To submit: Simply upload your video to your BackStage profile and title it,”Send Me to Lollapalooza”. Fans, to upload a video you will need to upgrade your account for free here.

GOOD LUCK!

Video in progress!

In a few weeks the first single from my upcoming album “Jonestown” will be released. We’re also releasing a video to the single and the preparations are in full progress. The talented designer/tailor Sanna Nyström will design a beautiful dress for me to wear in the video, and today we met up to discuss her thoughts about the design and take some measurements.

Here’s a sneak preview of the design.
