Comment Contest for Domino Records Smugglers Way Flexi-zine

Comment for a Chance to Win

A big thanks to everyone who liked or got their friends to like the CoolDad Music page on Facebook. As I said I would do all along, now that the page has reached the arbitrary number of 100 likes, I'm holding a contest for my extra, unopened copy of Domino Records' 2012 Record Store Day exclusive Smugglers Way flexi-zine.

Smugglers Way is extremely cool, and a year ago I became obsessed with acquiring it. So obsessed, in fact, that I ended up with two. It contains flexi-singles (square, floppy, acetate records that play on your turntable) from Dirty Projectors, Real Estate, Villagers, John Maus, and Cass McCombs in a variety of colors. The discs come packaged in a 24-page magazine that contains writing from Alex Bleeker of Real Estate and Laura Marling, Photography by Jana Hunter of Lower Dens, an original score by Owen Pallett, and a bunch of other illustrations, prose, and poetry from other Domino / Ribbon Music artists.

The rules are simple: Comment on this very post between now and Sunday, April 14th. I will randomly select a commenter who will be crowned the winner of The Second-Ever CoolDad Music Comment Contest and send them the prize. If you want a real chance to win, I'd advise against commenting anonymously.

That's it. Thanks again and good luck.

I look forward to hearing from you.

This May Take A While

The Facebook likes for this blog's page have been pretty static. They've been hovering around 65, 66, 67 for some time. That's fine. I'm grateful for each one, and I'm happy that people come here to see what I have to say.

I thought it would be fun, though, to try and get the number a little higher; so I have a proposition: once the number of likes for CoolDad Music reaches 100, I'll run another comment contest. The prize will be my extra, unopened copy of the Record Store Day 2012 Smuggler's Way flexi-zine that Domino Records released. It's a cool, quirky thing and fun to have even if you don't own a turntable.

I'm sure everyone knows how to like a page on Facebook, but I've made it even easier for you and your friends by placing a little button just for that purpose over in the right-hand corner of this page:

You and your friends can click that, and we'll be another like closer to the contest.

Thanks. And, as always, thanks for reading.
