Raveonettes are back in town next (inaugural) weekend. They've had a good/great/awesome 2008 what with "Lust Lust Lust" storming the world, all those remix EPs, christmas songs, and a bunch of sold out shows.
Now, we have this superpackage of goodness to give away:
* Lust Lust Lust vinyl
* All four Raveonettes digital EPs
* Signed poster
* 2 Tickets to the show
and eternal jealousy from all your other Raveonettes loving friends.
You want it, you just need to tell us WHY by Wednesday so we can have their nice PR people mail all this over to you.
Deal?
For motivation, here is that super sweet interview Cale did with them a long time a go we will never get tired of rerunning:
And if you don't win:

God loves a cheerful giver.
Because Raveonettes sounds like RAISINETS. . .and those are my favorite candies!!
So many reasons!
1. My roommate has a Raveonettes poster in our living room and she's moving out at the end of the month, so I clearly need to replace it.
2. I was just in Denmark with my Mom and read about the Raveonettes in my LonelyPlanet guidebook--we share common roots!
3. I really liked Copenaagen and my friend calls it Copen-gay-gen because he's been going there for years for hot gay NSA action.
3. My girlfriend dumped me and moved away, she'll be back for inauguration so I've got to impress her.
4. A big Danish chick delivered the lime ending to a tequila shot to me last summer, holding the lime in her mouth and lingering a bit too long...that's gotta count for something!
5. Hot gay NSA action!
6. There are two number three's!
3. Three number three's!
Because Whip It On inspired my weird fascination with Scandinavian bands (Hives, Soundtrack of Our Lives, Sahara Hotnights) to such an extent that I moved to Denmark for a year. Because I'm totally in love with Sharin Foo. And because Obama appeared to me in a vision and told me I had to go so as to properly celebrate his inauguration.
because i've never won anything in my life.
pity me.
A hacker helped him (or her) self to my checking account through paypal this morning, and now I'm too poor until the fraud investigation to buy tickets. Also, my cat pooped in my lingerie drawer. It's been a rough day.
Many people don't know this, but the Raveonettes are HUGE with many of the constituencies that will be attending the inauguration events. I'm thinking that maybe I could trade the signed posted for tickets to the inaugural ball.
