Taking Back Sunday Flash Contest
Taking Back Sunday, an emo band out of Amityville, Long Island, 
has teamed up with fanscape.com to unveil a music video contest. An mp3 for their track ‘Error Operator’ is being given out to all comers, in hopes that the audience will return it by February 18th along with a rock-solid Flash-animated video.
What I love most about this contest is that Taking Back Sunday and Fanscape have mandated that all videos be submitted in the .SWF format. So download the track, plan out 3 minutes of animation and win an Xbox 360.
For more information on the band, check out their official site, and their MySpace page.

An xbox for 3 minutes of animation??? That’s like $500! I hope their not expecting professional looking work. Cheapskates!

There are songs that I could happily listen to a hundred times while creating a video for it.
This is not one of those songs.
