Ready for your close-up?

You know that secret project that's been keeping you up til 3 A.M. for the past six months? A little something you like to think of as the Next Great Homemade Runaway Hit Electro-Pop Album? It's time to drag it out of GarageBand and into the limelight. No we're not talking about MySpace (unless you happen to have the perfect club anthem for 2003 on your hands) -- the new limelight is Diesel:U:Music, a social networking hub for musicians that lets you build your fanbase out of a preselected population of people with good taste in denim. It could also be your real life big break: the site's radio station streams the masterpieces you upload in Diesel stores worldwide; plus two artists will win a spot on a D:U:M world tour later this summer -- previous winners include Diplo (above) and the Fiery Furnaces. Just don't let us catch you in acid wash.
