Welcome, welcome, welcome to the third annual soundtrack giveaway here at the Ink Slinger blog. I am your host, Caesar Flickerman, and this year our contestants will be fighting to the death for a chance to win one of the best soundtracks of 2012.
Actually, we’ll be drawing names. I just couldn’t resist the Hunger Games reference.
If you’ve participated before, you know how this works. If you haven’t, you’re probably wondering what’s going on. “A soundtrack giveaway? What is that?” Well, it’s just like any other giveaway. Only instead of getting a quilt, a CD, or a book, the winner gets a soundtrack.
“Fine,” you say. “Makes sense. But why soundtracks? I don’t see other bloggers giving away soundtracks.” I’m glad you noticed, because that’s the point. Nobody else I know of is doing this sort of thing, so I’m doing it.
“And what if I don’t listen to soundtracks, or enjoy them?” Well, in that case, I’d have to say – very kindly – that you’re missing out. Big time.
2012 has yielded many fine film scores from many fine composers, but only two will be featured in this giveaway. Those two are The Dark Knight Rises (Hans Zimmer) and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (Howard Shore). Magnificent work from two of the best in the business.
Leave a comment if you would like your name to be entered in the drawing. To increase your chances, share this giveaway on your blog and/or link to it via social networking. Let me know you have done so, and I’ll enter your name once for each share. The giveaway will close at 12pm MT on Friday, December 21st. A name will then be drawn and the winner will recieve his/her choice of the soundtracks featured (in MP3 format).
THE INK SLINGER 
I’ve never liked giveaways, I’m not sure why, but how could I possibly resist a chance to get my hands on those tracks….:)
You can’t resist. That’s the point. You will be assimilated… ;)
Or so you think…
Count me in!! :)
Oh, and I also shared the giveaway on my blog –

Until Moviebyte started giving things away I had never signed up for a giveaway in my life. Now I can’t stop.
I shall enter… even though I own one, and have the other on my wish list…
:P
(I’m seeing the Hobbit this afternoon, FYI!!!)
Oh yeah! Music. And possibly free music. This is an excellent scenario in which to find one’s self. ;-)
I’m your huckleberry! Although…we already have the best two soundtracks from this year…
Which ones do you consider the best? :)
I have two daughters that love to write and love to write with soundtracks playing in the background. What kind of father would I be if I didn’t enter this drawing for them? Oh, and I’ll share it on FB as well.
Count me in, sir! And I shared your wonderful giveaway on Twitter.
Count me in as well, I shall share this one my Facebook, blog, and Tumblr
Okay, the only bad thing about this contest is I won’t be able to decide *which* soundtrack to pick! I’m definitely in!
Count me in please!
I haven’t heard the Dark Knight soundtrack… but it’s Hans Zimmer. It HAS to be good! And The Hobbit… of course I have to enter for that one! I posted about the giveaway on my blog. Here’s the link:

Thanks for hosting this!
Count me in! I also shared the link on Facebook.
I’d love to enter this drawing. I’ve shared it on FB.
I’m in!
Very cool. Count me in!
Count me in as well!
God Bless!
What a wonderful idea! And those soundtracks are far too tempting not to enter! Thanks for hosting.
Oh gosh, super exciting! I would love to win the Hobbit soundtrack… I pinned on Pinterest (link below) and shared the giveaway with some of my G+ circles!
I tried commenting earlier, but apparently it never showed up. :) My dad told me about this, so I posted about it on Facebook and on my blog (http://musings-in-a-strange-land.blogspot.com). Thank you! (and sorry if this somehow double posts…)
You’ve ensnared me. I desire to be entered very muchly indeed.
Count me in!
Awe man… I was looking forward to fighting to the death : ) Jk
Interesting Idea. Add my name to the list please.
I shared this on my blog and on my facebook :)
Cool!
I am hereby entering here, and I’m mere moments away from sharing it on Facebook & Twitter as well.
I thought both soundtracks were awesome! And I’d love to own them!
I’m in! I love the Hobbit soundtrack. :)
Also, shared on my blog: http://lmswriting.blogspot.com/2012/12/eight-days-till-christmas.html
I’d like to enter!
Count me in. Howard Shore is an absolute genius!
Who is your favorite composer?
Tough question. :) I don’t think I could pick just one: Hans Zimmer, John Powell, J.N. Howard, and Howard Shore are favorites, and I like some of John Williams’ work (though I think he’s overrated by many). Clint Mansell has written several brilliant scores, too.
ooh, good ones.

Hooray! A chance for more writing music in my library? Who could pass that up. I would be amazingly pleased to win a copy of either of these. I”ll go ahead and share on facebook as well as my blog. :)
Oh boy – line me up for that Hobbit track. I am going to see it tomorrow in Imax 3D!
Finally got around to seeing The Dark Knight Rises last night (loved it!) and am looking forward also to seeing the Hobbit over Christmas… awesome!
Just saw The Hobbit and the movie and the soundtrack were both great!

Hello there! I’m here from the recommendation of Elizabeth K. :)
I’ve never watched The Dark Night, but I would love to add The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey soundtrack to the LOTR soundtracks that I have! I’ve also shared this link on facebook.
You have a very nice blog and I’m looking forward to looking into it some more!
I am in! I would love to have either of these soundtracks! I have reposted this link of facebook. And I was referred here by Colleen A.
I haven’t seen either film…but I’m still interested in the soundtracks. :)
(Also shared on Google+)

Soundtracks! I love them. I am especially interested in The Hobbit. :D

Ooh, I so want the Hobbit soundtrack. I’ve never seen either of these movies but soundtracks make such awesome writing music and I’m already in love with the Hobbit trailer music. :D

Thanks for the chance to win! (And Gabriel for sharing…)
Ok, The Hobbit soundtrack is SO one of the best! Although Hans Zimmer is a genious composer, too… It’s hard to pick which one I’d choose if I won! Thanks for this contest!! I posted it on my blog here, and on twitter.

I can’t believe the soundtrack of The Hobbit was released before the movie. For some reason I thought it always went the other way around. :D
I’ve shared via Google+ and Facebook!
Several of my friends on Google + have already reminded me about the giveaway by posting it to their streams, so here I am. :D You sure get around, Corey, but I wish you were on G+ yourself. You’d
wastespend so much time rolling on the floor from the antics we find ourselves in on there! It’s great fun, and you’d fit in wonderfully. :DVery interested in getting The Hobbit soundtrack. Pure music indeed. :)
The Hobbit…
I really like soundtracks!
If I win, I would like the Hobbit soundtrack.
