I like free things. I’ll admit it. I love the excitement of contests, raffles and giveaways. Even the goofiest or least-expensive gift gets me a bit giddy. I remember back when I was a kid, I really enjoyed getting new folders for my TrapperKeeper at the start of each school year. In fact, a friend’s mom once had this back-to-school party with a treasure hunt where the treasure was school supplies. As I recall, I was the only one not disappointed by this. And yes, I was a huge nerd.
Rating only slighter higher than receiving gifts is giving them! And I’ve got some cool ones for you here. Many of us here (or at least Keath & I) are Fujiya & Miyagi fans (we talked about their tourdates with PJPJ here) so we’re quite excited to offer you a chance to win a copy of their new album, Lightbulbs, as well as a t-shirt from the band.
The details*:
(1) CD of Lightbulbs
(1) F&M T-shirt (Mens M or L/One size fits all Womens)
*By participating in this contest, you consent to be added to Fujiya & Miyagi’s mailing list
But Sean, what must I do to win this fabulous prize? Really, it’s very easy. We want to hear from YOU. Yes, YOU. We’d like to know what features on Rock Sellout you’d like to see more often, and why. Or if there’s some area we aren’t currently covering, let us know what it is and why you’d like to see it on the site. It can even be a band you think deserves our attentions. Don’t be afraid to offer constructive criticism; we won’t cheat you out of a prize for being honest. Although if you say something like ‘you all suck and I’d like to drown you upside down in an outhouse’, we may not read your suggestion with as much enthusiasm. Also, we may take out a restraining order.

I’d very much like to see more new music reviews and less celebrity gossip/news. Also, I love your mixtape posts, more of those would be nice.
Thanks!

Well, the site is perfect and anything extra would change its quality. Do not change a thing.
Now, enough with the sucking. I believe that Rock Sellout offers a lot of information and I check it out daily (I said enough with the sucking!). The things I would appreciate, are more album reviews and maybe more rare songs. One good idea (for me) is, if someone wants to write an album or a band show review, to have the space on the site to do it. Less gossip would be great. I mean nothing at all.
(I also like free things and giveaways, so more of them wouldn’t hurt anyone… Keep them coming!)

Speaking of crazy free things…I got an Airwalk skateboard in the mail today. No understanding as to why. Just a new skateboard for Kip Sellout. Weird.
