(3) Dengue Fever: Sleepwalking Through the Mekon CD/DVD sets care of M80.

The film chronicles the journey taken by Los Angeles-based Khmer rock band Dengue Fever to lead singer Chhom Nimol’s native Cambodia during the Water Festival. The band’s performance marked the first time a Western band has ever performed ’60s Cambodian rock in the country where it was created. Most of the musicians who originally created the music were killed during the Pol Pot regime. The film serves up a portrait of modern Cambodia as the band tours through Phnom Penh and beyond, crossing a great cultural chasm with the same spirit of Cambodia’s original rock pioneers.

Dengue Fever “March of the Balloon Animals” [MP3]

Unfortunately due to NCAA regulations, this contest is only open to US residents (sorry international friends!!!). To enter, simply leave a comment with who you think is going to win the NCAA tournament this year (I’m going to stick it out with Boston College, despite the team “losing in the first round.”)

Here’s the kicker, between now and the tournament finals we’re going to be regularly adding new prizes… so the longer the contest goes, the better your chances of winning! (contest closest April 7 @ 12:00 a.m. central standard time) Contest is closed.
