Lolla Remixes Last Band Standing

First of all, let's get this out of the way. We were watching the little video with Perry Farrell below and were thinking he's looking remarkably well preserved for a dude who is 50. Then we thought, "Wait, Perry Farrell is FIFTY?!" We've always though Bowie was well preserved but Farrell is giving that man a run for his money.

Anyway, Lollapalooza has taken their yearly "Last Band Standing" concept -- where "unknowns" vie for a slot on the Lollapalooza stage -- and they've run it through a blender. An audio blender. Enter the 2009 Last Band Standing Remix, where DJs are asked to send in their remixes and then the fans get to vote for their faves.

You can win a slot on Perry's DJ stage, a new laptop, $1,000, and a couple extra passes so your friends can come along and watch you become a superstar DJ. So what are you waiting for? We all wanna marvel at your skillz so enter today.

Here's Perry to get you started.
