Contest: Romany Rye on the Cover of Rolling Stone!

WE TAKE ALL KINDS OF PILLS
TO GIVE US ALL KINDS OF THRILLS
BUT THE THRILL WE'VE NEVER KNOWN
IS THE THRILL THAT WILL GET YOU
WHEN YOU GET YOUR PICTURE
ON THE COVER OF THE ROLLING STONE

My friend Luke (aka The Romany Rye aka an AMAZING musician/song-writer that you should listen to NOW) is one of 16 musicians/bands up to be on the cover of Rolling Stone! He just needs your help to vote. Now, unlike most of my friends that are in contests, this is one where I would actually vote for him if I didn't know him. Yeah, he's that good.

Below is an email that was sent out with the info of how to vote. So, go do it. NOW!

Okay, so as these contests go, there are loop holes as to how the votes are getting counted. So Rolling Stone is a shady crafty beast.

You have to click on the Bonnaroo link to win two tickets and give them a bit of information. Then step 2 is voting for the Romany Rye and then clicking submit. We are unsure that just clicking the five stars actually counts or if its just a fake count at this time they will not clarify so to be safe just do both. Also after seeing the Bonnaroo line up this year who wouldn't want to go.

Anyway, Luke and the rest of his guys really appreciate all the time everyone is taking to help out. I sincerely appreciate it as well. Please pass this along, to your friends, family, or anyone that ever gave you their email address.

And here's a preview of the awesomeness you're voting for:

14 Love Songs

So, this is a little more mellow than most of my mix tapes, but I've been in a mellow mood. Still, love is something to celebrate...now I'm just going to celebrate it a little more softly than other years. It's a mix of new love, sustained love, pining love, and complicated love. Because if you've ever been in love, you know that all of those things exist...sometimes all at the same time.

2. Rush - Ferras
3. Dance Me to the End of Love - The Civil Wars
4. The Chain - Ingrid Michaelson
5. First Day of My Life - Bright Eyes
6. Fresh Feeling - Eels
7. I Will Follow You Into the Dark - Death Cab for Cutie

Wow. That's all I have to say.

The new Fleet Foxes album comes out in May. If this song is any indication of what the rest of the album will be, I may have just found my top pick for 2011.

It's not even chills, it's more. This song literally made me go numb.

Listen. Love. Let it devour you.
