The Music Bargains

I was just poking around in the Strangercrombie online catalog and noticed that the private party with Throw Me the Statue is only going for $101.99 at this moment.

Holy shit! Throw Me the Statue, the best young pop band in Seattle, with the handsomest frontman and catchiest tunes in Seattle, play a private show for you—the luckiest person in Seattle! They’ll play your house party, dinner party, wedding, picnic—or hell, just for you in your living room. Sitting on your couch. Next to a keg. That's right—we’re also throwing in a keg from Lazy Boy Brewing Company. Um, can this roof be raised at all? PRICELESS! OPENING BID: $1.99!

(You can big on that here. The private party with Truckasauras, described here, is currently going for a little more—$152.50.)

Meanwhile, the bidding for the Magistrate of Local Music package is at a bargain $76:

Broadcast your local-music knowledge/passion/attitude over the airwaves when you get to cohost the Locals Only show on 107.7 The End with Megan Seling on an upcoming Sunday night from 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Package also includes a bunch of CDs from Barsuk Records (Ra Ra Riot, Jim Noir, Chris Walla, Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter, David Bazan), a Barsuk hoodie, and five silk-screened show posters: the Sonics, Fleet Foxes, Dengue Fever, Cold War Kids, and Calexico. A $675 VALUE! OPENING BID: $1.99!

(You can bid on that here.)

Other steals in the music category at this moment? The cooking class with Tilson of the Saturday Knights (right here), a mixtape by Calvin Johnson (right here), the Chutes and Ladders board game signed by the Shins (right here)...

It's been pointed out before, but just to reiterate: these items have all been donated to us, and all the money we raise in these auctions goes to Treehouse, an organization that makes life better for foster kids. If you don't have the money to, say, get on the list at every awesome club in town for the year (yes, that's another item), you can always help out Treehouse by clicking the button below and giving $20. Anyone who donates $20 or more gets a lovely Stranger holiday tote bag (depicted on the tote bag: knife, bomb, pistol, cigarette, needle, leg of chicken...).

Also the Miss Mamie Lavona the Exotica Mulatta and Her White-Boy Band Play Your Party is only $20.50 which is ridiculous. That group is crazy hot

Is anybody else way, way too unhip to appreciate these music auctions, or is it just me?
