It’s Graduation Time at UF!

“Help UF Win the My College, My Sound Competition, Win Concert Tickets for You and Friends”

BY BRITTANY BRAVE

If you had to make the ideal UF soundtrack, who would be on it?

It’s now possible to build up your campus soundtrack thanks to Spotify! So, get brainstorming and officially curate your Top10 University of Florida Songs for 2012.

In the “My College, My Sound” Competition happening nationwide, Spotify challenges music junkies and students to pick the songs that they think best define their school. Build your Gator Nation playlist, share with friends and compare songs, and see what’s rocking and what’s not at the University of Florida on our school’s leader board.

As a perfect complement for our competitive nature, we’re put up against every other Florida school and university across the nation. The school that can rack up the most Top10 lists will house the grand prize winner, who gets tickets for them and three friends to any concert they choose, not to mention some killer bragging rights.

Head to http://top10.com/mysound and get started.  Once you add the App on Spotify, go to “Start A Top 10,” search for UF and choose the option that appears on the drop down menu.

Stuck? It can be hard narrowing it down to just 10…

May we suggest:

  1. The Shins
  2. Jack White
  3. Chevelle
  4. Civil Twilight
  5. The Asteroids Galaxy Tour
  6. Foo Fighters
  7. The Offspring
  8. The Black Keys
  9. Portugal. The Man
  10. Alabama Shakes

…Just to get you started.  Play DJ and show us the songs you loved and can’t escape on campus. It’s go time!
