October's nearly over, but there's still five days left of Oxjam! Oxjam is the biggest, hottest, longest, most diverse music event in Oxfam history, going all month, across the entire kingdom, to rock out and raise heaps of cash to fight poverty. It's also an opportunity to get your music on MTV: put on an Oxjam gig, film it, upload it to MTV Flux, and you'll be considered for the big gig in April. Drop by the Oxjam MySpace page to get a list of events going on in your area. [GT]
