So, you've been reading Pitchfork, what... how long? And we don't know anything about you? How did this happen, exactly? After all, we've told you like everything about us. You know all our favorite bands. You know what records we can't stand. You know we have some weird inexplicable preoccupation with R. Kelly. You even know we used to have a mad crush on Save Ferris (seriously, if you tell anyone...). But why should we get to do all the talking? I mean, maybe we've just been really selfish all this time. Seriously, that's really shitty of us.
Tell you what we'll do. If you fill out our survey and tell us what your deal is, we'll enter you for a chance to win one of several hot lit'l gift packs from your pals over at Matador Records, which include all kinds of stickers and buttons, plus an assortment of other promotional peculiarities. Super lucky survey-hounds will even receive a limited edition Guided by Voices poster, or a signed copy of either Stephen Malkmus' Face the Truth or Interpol's Antics. (The Malkmus one is nice because he wrote "Stevo Malko" like a champ; the Interpol one is nice 'cause the black cover's signed by every member in silver ink. Pure class.)
One catch: If you just fill out random garbage we'll catch on and disqualify your dumb ass. Don't make us hate you. Alright, let's do this.
