The deadline has come and gone, and the winner of our Hayes Carll giveaway is:
Jason Brooks
Jason, I will be contacting you soon to find out where you want your KMAG YOYO (& Other American Stories) vinyl sent for your ogling, cuddling and playing pleasure. Thanks to all who entered.
By the way, Jason’s choice for “favorite odd couple” pairing was David Frizzell and Shelly West doing “You’re the Reason God Made Oklahoma”.
That’s right: we haven’t even closed the Hayes Carll contest, and we already have another great giveaway. I’m pretty tickled by this one. Scott Miller, of V-Roys fame, is releasing a new solo album. Check out the charming video for the first single, “Lo Siento, Spanishburg, WVa — A Story of the Real Americana”.
How can you not love that closing chorus?
Now, the goodies. We have two prize packs to give away, one men’s and one women’s, that contains Scott’s CD, a T-shirt and a FREAKING KAZOO. A kazoo, y’all! How great is that? Each winner will get to choose the shirt style and size of his/her choice from Scott’s nifty shop.
All you have to do is drop a comment below with your favorite of the 50 United States of America – and your preference for men’s or women’s shirt. One man-style and one woman-style winner will be chosen at random. We’ll give y’all until August 3, 2011 at 5 PM EST to enter. Winners will be announced on August 4.
First, check out this video:
Freaking adorable, and a great pairing of vocals between Hayes Carll and Cary Ann Hearst. The song, “Another Like You”, is off of Carll’s latest album KMAG YOYO (& Other American Stories).
Now here’s the really good part: You could win a copy of KMAG YOYO (& Other American Stories) on warm, delicious vinyl. Just drop a comment below with your favorite opposites-attract pairing for a chance to win. Deadline is July 28, 2011 at 5 PM EST. A winner will be chosen at random and announced on July 29.
Giveaway is closed.
First, watch this:
You want to go see that guy now, right? Well, if you’re in Cleveland tonight, you’re in luck. NTSIB has a pair of tickets to give away to see Hugo play at the Beachland Tavern (inside the Beachland Ballroom at 8 PM with Attack Cat and Dan Miraldi & The Albino Winos) in Cleveland tonight. Be the first to comment, and you get the prize.
Friday. It’s not the absolute best day of the week, but it’s a worthy runner-up to King Saturday. And this Friday right here is pretty damn good for Local Natives fans, as we’ve got two big-deal things going on.
First, the kind folks at the Orchard have a shiny, new 7″ of Local Natives’ great song “Sun Hands” with the B-side being the also-great (there aren’t many of their songs that aren’t great) rendition of “Cards & Quarters” from the band’s Daytrotter session. You want it? Be the first to drop a comment on this post expressing your wild enthusiasm for the band (or even your not-quite-wild but still enthusiastic enthusiasm), and you will be the proud owner.
Second, Cleveland-area Local Natives’ fans have the opportunity to obtain goodness from the very fine folks at Music Saves. Be the first to purchase the Gorilla Manor LP at Music Saves (see previous link for address and hours of operation if you’re not already familiar with them), and a pair of tickets to the May 11th Local Natives/Suckers show at the Beachland Ballroom, will be yours.
I will be at the Beachland show as well as their Music Saves in-store performance beforehand. At this point, you’d have to break my hands and feet to keep me from seeing these guys.
