Who wants to come see the Cure with me in May?

I'm serious. I have two tickets and I am going to take one of you with me. Here's the deal:

I really love the Cure. In fact, they're like, my absolute favorite band ever. I think I've seen them like 6 times or something. For Christmas my mom bought me 2 tickets to the Cure show at the Hollywood Bowl on May 31st. The seats are better than decent--much better--and even though the show isn't quite sold out yet, they're already being sold for twice what they cost. I don't want to take someone who couldn't care less about the band because that wouldn't be fun for me. As a result, you've got a little less than 5 months to convince me why I should take you. There really aren't any rules to the contest, but here are a few tips:

1. Use spell check. please.
2. Don't offer me sexual favors.
3. Don't send attachments.
4. I don't care if you think Robert Smith is fat now or if you think the Cure sucks. Don't email me if that's all you have to say, k? Thanks.

The contest is over when I say it's over, and if I don't respond it means you don't win. Good luck.

Monday's Top 3

Ok so I know I tend to get pretty enthusiastic about things, and I've probably said, "DUDE THIS IS LIKE THE COOLEST THING EVER!" about a bazillion times, but here are three things for you to add to the "Little Orphan Carrie's Picks" list I know you're keeping.

1. Sparrow house--Sparrow house is the (usually) solo project of Voxtrot's Jared Van Fleet. His first release under this name is OUTSTANDING. I think my friend and I accidentally put it on repeat one night and fell asleep. It was on for like 5 hours and I'm still not sick of it. Seriously.

2. Daytrotter.com--Daytrotter makes me feel cheated cause it's like one of the best music blogs out there and I didn't know about it until like 3 months ago. They've got [GOOD] free mp3's and recordings that're only available on their site. And the artwork is awesome too. In short: indie-folk-pop paradise.

3. imeem.com--Another social networking site. A mash-up of the greatest hits of YouTube.com, LinkedIn.com, Uber.com,and Pandora.com. And the video quality is better than youtube. I think I've signed up for every social networking site I've happened across in the past 2 weeks, so you should trust me when I say that this is (or, rather, WILL BE) the best one. hands down. imeem rules.

PROOF IN THE PUDDING: i leave you with a sparrow house track from a daytrotter session at SXSW, embedded using imeem.

You're welcome,
