Spare Room Be our guest…

This is for anyone who chuckled at last week’s online video “David After Dentist”, which featured the sedated ramblings of a young boy in the back of a car. This time it’s Chad Vader doing the same lines. If you haven’t seen the original clip, best to check it out here (scroll down, it’s at the bottom of the post) before watching this one. (Warning: do not drink coffee while watching this clip)

We’re giving away four copies of Lou Reed’s 2006 live concert performance of his 1973 concept album Berlin, courtesy of Madman Entertainment

Berlin has the reputation as being one of the most depressing albums ever made, but the concert version, while still dark and introspective, documents a rare and very special event. Lou Reed is backed by great performers including Fernando Saunders, Antony (of Antony and the Johnsons) and Sharon Jones…

Annie Leibovitz has produced some of the most iconic images of the last 30 years and is one of the world’s most influential photographers.

Thanks to distributor Madman Films, Spare Room has four copies of Annie Leibovitz — Life Through A Lens, a documentary written directed and produced by her sister Barbara Leibovitz, to give away.

The film contains interviews with Mick Jagger, Hillary Clinton, and Yoko Ono among others. It traces Leibovitz’s career from the early days of Rolling Stone magazine through to her work with Vanity Fair, also featuring recent commissioned works and photojournalism from war-torn Sarajevo and Rwanda.

Like we said, four DVDs are up for grabs — just drop us a line here: (NZ readers only. Note rating is M — some nudity, drug references, war images)
