Earlier this year we were approached by Sony to help develop an interactive idea that would appeal to users of Last.fm. Sony wanted to match their passion for sound quality with our passion for music. There were a lot of interesting ideas and the one that captured our imagination centred around being able to create an ultimate imaginary festival line-up and compete with your friends on who can build the best. So after months of hard work organizing a staggering amount of data, we are happy to announce Sony’s Fantasy Festival.

How it works:

You have €1,000,000 to spend on a 15 artist line up for your Fantasy Festival. Pick your all time favourite artists or pick artists you think are up and coming. If your line up ranks highest in *Buzz points you could win some pretty awesome prizes (more about the prizes here). Each week *Buzz points are determined by what artists are getting the most online buzz based on data from Last.fm, Yahoo!, Twitter and more. The competition will run for six months starting 18th November and *Buzz points scores will start rolling in on the 25th of November.

You can check out my line up here.

Happy booking!

    this is a great idea, fantasy for music lovers instead of just sports nuts! i wonder how much joy division cost as headliners…

    Sounds fun. Which also means it will be a bummer when it’s finished in six months.

    Audi A5
    Design/Fit and Finish

    The A5’s exterior speaks for itself — this is one of the most strikingly styled cars on the road today. The interior is also a first-rate design, with attractive gauges and a sleek driver-centric cockpit. Nearly every control in the A5 is backlit in red, which creates a cool spaceshiplike effect at night. Supple material on the dash top and the sides of the center stack drive up the A5’s perceived-quality index, though there’s some chintzy hard plastic on the center stack itself and around the gauge cluster. Fit and finish was good on our tester, save for that rattling trim panel.

    Jaguar XF Supercharge: Function

    The XF’s trunk is quite roomy, easily fitting two golf bags and a large suitcase into its 17-cubic-foot hold. A rear-facing child safety seat can be squeezed into the backseat’s central position, but taller drivers may find themselves scootching their seats up to accommodate junior. Front-facing child seats fit well.

    Alan Assemi Saturn Astra XR Coupe: Performance

    However, Saturn has tuned the Astra to maximize mpg, which, while a commendable goal, comes at the expense of performance. Even though the engine’s specs are competitive, the engine feels sluggish off the line, and tall gear ratios make the hatch feel gutless. Heaven forbid you find yourself changing lanes in front of a car that’s going faster than you expected; you just might find yourself on the receiving end of some less-than-friendly hand gestures. Then again, you might not notice, since you’ll be uttering your own expletives as you stand on the throttle wondering why nothing’s happening.

    2009 Kia Borrego V8 4WD: Design/Fit and Finish

    Materials inside the 2009 Kia Borrego are more luxurious than one might expect. The understated cabin is simple and refined and a well-placed, logical dash layout keeps features relatively easy. The leather seats, while not on par with a fine Italian handbag, contribute to a more upscale feel. The cabin is unavoidably filled with plastic, but the combination of colors and textures do a good job of keeping any one element from sticking out like a sore thumb. Beware of the headliner, however — it feels a tad like a felt-covered egg carton if pressed too hard.
