Remember a couple of years ago when everyone on the Internet was getting signed because they did an acoustic cover of Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody”? Well, it’s that time again. Except, instead of that two chord song it’s Ian Thornley’s “Fade Away” and instead of a record contract it’s a full day of recording at Vespa Studios in Toronto (valued at 10k, which is more than you’d get for a record deal now-a-days). So basically, you’re welcome.

Indeed, Tapedek has teamed up with Aux and the LCBO (the people that you buy alcohol from) to bring you the Whisky Rocks Contest. By executing a great cover version of the song “Fade Away,” you could just, er, walk away with the big prize (and booze?).

As part of a team of blogger judges, I’ll be discussing my favourite entries on the site. So basically, I’ll be Simon, Indie Music Filter‘s Chris Budd will be Randy, Nicole Villeneuve will be Paula and Anne Donahue will be William Hung, natch.
