Brianstorm 12″ … because donewaiting loves you

May 15, 2007 – 3:39 pm | Written by Tankboy

AM_vinyl.gifWe’ve got a copy of the Arctic Monkeys “Brainstorm” 12″ we’re just dying to give you. I don’t know about the rest of you, but this writer has been enjoying the hell out of the band’s new disc, as it neatly sidesteps the sophomore slump to deliver songs that are tighter and better written than the tracks on their record breaking debut.
Wow, that was a mouthful. Serial abuse of commas perhaps? Naw, I think it’s still all grammatically correct.
Moving on.

Here’s the tracklisting:
1. If You Found This It’s Probably Too Late
2. Brianstorm
3. Temptation Greets You Like Your Naughty Friend
4. What If You Were Right The First Time?

For those of you who’ve read donewaiting.com for any length of time, you know that we’re big fans of The Decemberists.

(just kidding!!)

Win Tickets for Gomez in Columbus OH

October 5, 2006 – 1:24 pm | Written by Robert Duffy

The first time I saw Gomez was right when their debut album hit the states. It was at Irving Plaza I think, and I swear I was the only person in the room with a Yankee accent. They’ve certainly found their fanbase stateside, that’s for sure.

We’ve got two pairs of tickets for their show Tuesday at the Newport Music Hall. To be entered to win, simply email contest@donewaiting.com with the subject title “GOMEZ TIX.” To buy tickets for the show, go here.

To win, send a blank e-mail with the title “MY GOODNESS DONEWAITING PLEASE STROKE ME” to contest@donewaiting.com. Winners will be chosen the day before the show.

I’m pretty sure The Strokes sold out the last time they rolled through town, so don’t sleep on this show. Get your tickets soon. Click here for tickets.

Win Tickets for Nels Cline and Glenn Kotche in Columbus OH

September 20, 2006 – 2:14 pm | Written by Robert Duffy

I love Nels Cline. Ever since seeing him perform as part of The Geraldine Fibbers many years ago, he has been one of my favorite guitarists. He does things with those strings that might be illegal in Idaho, I swear. When he joined up with Wilco, (my favorite band), it was a match made in Robert Duffy Heaven.

I am also a really big fan of Glenn Kotche, the Wilco drummer. I’ve seen him solo twice, and both times were uniquely different and completely mesmerizing.

Nels and Glenn will be performing solo sets and as a duo Friday, September 22 at the Wexner Center. Tickets are onsale now and going fast.

Luckily for you, you read donewaiting.com. And donewaiting.com loves you. We’re giving away a pair of tickets to the show, dudes. One random person will be selected tomorrow night. To enter, send a blank e-mail with the title “GIMME NELS AND GLENN TICKETS” to contest@donewaiting.com.
