Wreck The Tape Deck

congratulations to the winner of our Swell Season/She & Him/Bird and the Bee contest, Miss Allison Klein of Los Angeles. it was too tough of a decision for us, you have no idea the unique horror of judging so many impossibly cute Zooey Deschanel pictures, so we decided to go with the image above by throwing darts at our computer screen. (that bitch stole my dog’s look!!! you don’t want to piss off Mr Fluffy, Zooey. it’ll be a battle of adorable that even YOU can’t win.) thanks to all who entered! some of the more choice entries are posted below, but beware, know that to stare too long into those doe eyes is too risk your very soul.

why yes, i would like to play beach ball with you, Zooey... what's this? quicksand!!! you've adorabled me to my doom!!!

my god... she's armed with a kitten in this one. it's a cuteness assault unlike any this world has ever seen.

this daisy is clearly full of poison.

Zooey showing her true nature...

this was right after she'd savagely murdered a man. there was blood EVERYWHERE, but this picture was so cute the police let her go with a stern warning.

no, Zooey, i would NOT like to listen to records with you all night long. please stop asking. it's getting to be a little pathetic... seriously.

um, no comment...

not from us, we think you should work for a living, ya fucking hippies. go here to enter the contest from Amoeba records, and then go here to check out Anthony Ausgang’s art. it’s the only good thing about that album anyway. or you can get your tickets the American way, by spending your hard earned minimum wages here. Francis and the Lights and Helios Creed open.

Gobble gobble bitches! It’s almost turkey time and you know what that means… ‘Tis the season for intense food comas, awkward war stories from Uncle Ed, fun trips through airport security, and spending time with the people you love most..your alcoholic friends on Wednesday night. But since we know the REAL spirit of the season is giving, we’d like to give something back to you guys. So who likes free stuff?

The Drifter, coming to DVD on December 8th, is a different kind of surf movie. It tells the story of Rob Machado’s journey to go way beyond his comfort zone and become completely isolated from the world with his own thoughts and dreams. Kinda like what Kanye West did with his career. “The Drifter is a visual metaphor for a free spirit’s conscious abandonment of the worldly traps of modern life as he searches for the inner freedom and spiritual joy offered by a life of renunciation”

So here’s what we’re giving away to ONE lucky winner (must be from the US):
- 1 copy of The Drifter on DVD
- 1 bar of Rob’s own organic blend of surf wax (see below)
- 1 copy of the latest issue of FILTER, which includes a sweet Drifter feature

Oh and look at this ridiculous soundtrack for the flick:
Jon Swift
Rob Machado
Stardeath & White Dwarfs
The Black Keys
By The Fireside
The Raconteurs
Midlake
Iron & Wine
Tegan & Sara
Jon and Roy
The Len Brown Society
Dr. Dog
Brett Dennen
Bon Iver
Jose Gonzalez
MGMT
Yeasayer
The Shins

All you have to do to enter is comment on this post wishing us an AMAZING Happy Thanksgiving and we’ll select a winner at random with our patented eenie-meenie-miney-moe system. Good luck and Happy Holidays!

Sea Wolf is playing next Wednesday, October 14th, at The Mercury Lounge in New York City with Sara Lov.

“But, – and there it is, – we want to live and move, though we have no reason to, because it happens that it is the nature of life to live and move, to want to live and move. If it were not for this, life would be dead. It is because of this life that is in you that you dream of your immortality.” – Wolf Larsen. From The Sea-Wolf, by Jack London. (yes, they are named after a novel, get over yourself).

If you want in on this night of great music and hipster fun, give us your best Jack London quote in the comments section below. First awesome quote wins. Annnnnndddd…. GO!
