Win tickets to this weekend's KEXP's Yule Benefit

KEXP know how to do it right. This year they are marking the holidays with not one, but two nights of yule goodness... and they are sharing the good times with us by giving us a pair of tickets for each night of Yule to give away to a lucky imaginary reader.

And in classic KEXP style, both evenings' line-ups are bumpin':

Friday 12/12 @ Neumo's

    * Grand Archives
    * Shearwater
    * The Dutchess and The Duke

Saturday 12/13  @ Neumo's

    * Thao with the Get Down Stay Down
    * Shearwater
    * Cancer Rising

You can enter to win tickets for each night, but you must enter each one seperately. To enter, email us at tig @ threeimaginarygirls.com with the subject line "KEXPYule-FRIDAY" or "KEXPYule-SATURDAY" before 4p (PST) on Monday, December 7th and you'll be entered to win.

***Please make sure to include your name in the body of the email***

Latest comment by: River Phoenix: "Another great ablum from Shearwater, which to me have surpassed Okkervil River and I'm eager to see how they evolve now that Meiburg is going to concentrate only on this.."

Latest comment by: Gwon: "I picked up Aimee Mann and the new Weezer. So far so good, but I'm not as excited about them as I'd like. Aimee's CD starts with a great song, Freeway, and there are some decent songs afterwards (keeping in mind I've only listened to it once), but after her SUPERB ...

New Shearwater releases today and you can have a listen for free

The way quiet mistral-like vocals mixed with soaring instrumentals prompted the question, "Is this a good album to dance the horizontal tango to?"

Tiptoeing toward the new year - what will be great in 2008?

All things considered, I think I can face Father Time if that's what 2008 holds in store. What albums are you awaiting in the next 365 days?
