Captain Freeshit: Win Tickets To See Badly Drawn Boy At The TLA!
Can we geek out with you for a moment? Good. We’ve never stopped loving Badly Drawn Boy. Never. Not once. Even though the albums have been spotty and we’ve even stopped wishing he’d take off that goofy hat (for what would be the indie equivalent of Kiss taking off their makeup), we recognize the man is capable of Monster Tunes. Tunes so big and pretty that they can walk as tall as a 50-foot Liv Tyler circa creepy Aerosmith videos. In the age of blogrock, though, Damon Gough gets less play than ever; meanwhile, those fucking chumps in Cold War Kids can’t even mangle their way through a Dr. Dog cover. Go figure. So let’s right some wrongs here. Cue up Philebrity’s Badly Drawn Boy mini-best-of. Wake up the love in your heart that is BDB. Yeah, you know me:
Badly Drawn Boy: “You Were Right” [mp3]
Badly Drawn Boy: “The Shining (The Avalanches Good Word For The Weekend Remix)” [mp3]
Badly Drawn Boy: “Pissing In The Wind” [mp3]
Holy shit, there is seriously not a dry eye in the office right now. BDB is playing the TLA tomorrow night, and we have tickets. To enter to win, send an email to ihopeiwin[at]philebrity[dot]com with “YOU WERE RIGHT TO BITE YOUR TONGUE AND NOT BUY INTO MY MISERY” in the subject header. Seriously, people. We cry real tears of joy and love at the music of Damon Gough. You got a problem with that?
