Björk's
Voltaïc is a remarkable, multimedia document of what happened after her album
Volta was completed. She recorded the live CD in one take at Olympic Studio in London with her new band, prior to her 2007 Glastonbury appearance, presenting the set she would play on tour songs from
Volta and new arrangements of such older material as "Pagan Poetry," "All Is Full of Love," and a thunderous version of "Army of Me." It's a stunning performance, featuring cutting-edge computer technology, an old-school horn section, and a female, flag-toting Icelandic choir. The
Voltaïc DVD contains highlights of Björk's visually dazzling Volta tour, full of on-your-feet moments, filmed in Paris and Reykjavik. deluxe editions of
Voltaïc also include a CD of remixes of
Volta album tracks by such fellow travelers as Spank Rock, Simian Mobile Disco, Ratatat, and Modeselektor, plus a DVD of
Volta video clips, including Michel Gondry's take on "Declare Independence." Enter for your chance to win a copy of the deluxe edition of

Spike Lee's films have always deftly worked comedy into tragedy. In
School Daze, he stages the psychologically self-destructive conflict between light- and dark-skinned black girls as a jazzy, old Hollywood musical showstopper. In
Jungle Fever, Gator gives his unforgiving father one last dance he made up just for his mom, and hustles his way into an early grave. Crooklyn's loopy aunt discovers her lost dog's corpse when it catapults out of the hide-a-bed like a canine Pop-Tart. And in his uncontestable masterpiece (indeed one of American cinema's absolutely unimpeachable classics),
Do the Right Thing, Spike Lee deftly follows the actions of two dozen people on what turns out to be one of the longest, hottest, most memorable and maybe most tragic days of their lives. And he does it without so much as a single lugubrious or extraneous moment. Enter for your chance to win a 25th Anniversary copy of the film on Blu-ray! Five (5) winners will be picked at random. The deadline for entering this contest is July 2, 11:59pm E.S.T. so enter now! Only one entry per person;
duplicate entries will be disqualified. Thank you!
