Another Reason Bowie is Still Coolest

Bowie invites mashups:

    If you’ve seen the new Audi commercial, then you’ve already heard a mash-up of the David Bowie classic “Rebel, Rebel” and Bowie’s brand new rocker “Never Grow Old” from his new REALITY album. On April 12th, another mash-up by Mark Vidler will be released as a single. But what about NOW?

    Now it’s your turn to create a great Bowie mash-up and possibly win an Audi TT coupe for your efforts!

    Each week during the contest, DavidBowie.com will choose the top three entries and post them online. Log onto THIS PAGE at noon EST each Friday (April 16 – May 27), listen to the tracks and cast your vote for which mash-up should be crowned the week’s finalist.

    If your mash-up can make it past the DavidBowie.com judges, become a finalist and then make the final cut with Bowie himself you will win an Audi TT coupe!

    The Grand Prize Winner will receive a 2004 Audi TT Coupe with standard equipment or the cash equivalent. The 180 hp TT model sports nimble front-wheel drive and a versatile six-speed tipronic (R ball) transmission. The venerable 1.8 liter engine is turbocharged and intercooled, then turned to produce 180 hp. Power that is both effortless and remarkably efficient.

    A celebration of honesty in design, performance and technology, inside and out, the TT coupe stands as a thorough examination of ideas and ideals in motion. From the gear shift to the air vents to the gas cap, one circle after another. The essence of moving forward with ease is, after all, the wheel. (Approximate Retail Value: $30,000)
