The relaunched Vengaboys meant business this time...

That's right, another competition. We're giving prizes away like Howard Webb does yellow cards...

Richard Ashcroft eh? Not only can he write some lovely ditties, but he has cheekbones that look harder than a rhino's tusk. Not a bad combination. Which probably explains why he can name his new project the United Nations of Sound without breaking into a smirk. And who are we to mock, we called our site ToePoke. And mock we daren't, as we have copies of their brand new album just out this week to give away to five lucky readers. All you have to do is answer a very easy question, just read the blurb first...

We're giving away copies copies of Time Flies, deluxe copies no less...

Are you still struggling to come to terms that two mono-browed Mancunican brothers will be fighting no more? Perhaps you haven't quite got over Bonehead and Guigsy leaving the band, never mind Oasis officially splitting up. Well never fear, we have the perfect thing to keep you ticking over till they no doubt re-form in 2023, the complete collection of all their singles. Even ones that the curly-haired drummer played on. [More]

No, not a holiday in Italy, but a DVD about Italia '90...

We were fortunate enough to watch this film on the one-off evening that it was in the flicks the other week, but for those of you who didn't, don't fret your little socks as we've got a copy of the DVD to giveaway alongsidea copy of the book "All Played Out" that the film is based on. Cue the blurb:

Yet more prizes to give away to our loveable readers...

The ironic thing about the famous Faithless lyric “I can't get no sleep”, is that the poor grammar in that line keeps us awake at night. True story.

Or cheap effort at a tenuous pop music gag? You decide. While you do so, why not also enter our shiny new competition, featuring, you guessed it, British popular music electronica band, Faithless... [More]

"A few more pints and this could get Messi!"

ToePoke competition + winner = pure joy

There are many delights to be had in this wonderful world but surely there are none greater than winning a ToePoke competition. Observe the look of sheer ecstasy on this young chap's face when he found he had won this Argentina top, kindly provided by our good friends at Subside Sports. We asked winner John Beggan, from Glasgow, how he felt about winning such a prize:

"Aye, it's no too bad and it looks quite guid with ma new troosers."

So there you go folks, dreams can come true. Check out our other great competitions on ToePoke and you too could be literally over the moon. Well, maybe not literally unless of course Richard Branson offers a free flight on his new space plane for tourists. In which case, we would just rig the competition so that we won it ourselves.

Tracy Island got the "Pimp my ride" treatment...

Gorillaz are back. And we've got copies of their album to give away...

Rejoice, it's competition time folks. We've got five copies of the record the world has been waiting five years for. Nope, not Don't Stop Believin' by those disturbingly cheery Glee folk, but Plastic Beach by Gorillaz. Cue the blurb:

...by Ronaldo (the original).

Is not a self-help book hitting the stores any time soon. Oh how we miss his blissful disregard for political correctness. Dunga - call him up!

*Probably just a CD or something, so don't spend too long on it...

Perfect for those of you who can't be arsed to go out and buy Christmas presents...

We've yet more footballing goodies to giveaway, this time it's a football ipod holder/charger thingymebobby. We'll leave it to the experts to explain:

We're just throwing the albums out there!

Our old muckers at Shoot Music are sending yet more top albums our way, and because we're not cool enough to listen to them, we're hoying them straight over to you. This time it's Jock Rockers Biffy Clyro, copies of whose new album 'Only Revolutions' we have to give away.

What the hell is a Snow Patrol anyway?

God knows, probably a posh name people who work on gritters use to describe their jobs. Anyway, let's not overthink this - cos we've got some ruddy freebies to give away!
