REMINDER: Making Love To Brendan Benson: Phillyist Contest

Brendan Benson's Alternative to Love is one of the year's best albums, so it's understandable that we got a little happy when we heard that Jack White's buddy is coming to World Cafe Live on September 27.

And so, we bugged V2 Records about how much we loved Brendan. We just wanted to talk about him. About the album. About how dreamy that hair is. You know, the usualy non-stalkerish sort of thing. And then they threw some swag our way. They said it was "get out of hair" swag, but we think it's "make love to Brendan" swag.

And so, be prepared to make love to Brendan. Phillyist.com is proud - nay, giddy - to offer a lot of cool Brendan Benson swag in advance of his tour stop here in Philly on September 27. Here's what you can win by entering the contest:

The grand prize winner receives:
An autographed vinyl copy of Alternative to Love
"Cold Hands" 7"
"Spit It Out" UK import CD single
"Cold Hands" UK import CD single
Brendan Benson pins to pin yourself with

Five runners-up receive:
A vinyl copy of Alternative to Love
"Cold Hands" 7"
Brendan Benson pins to pin yourself with

It's not often that we toss around the phrase "greatest contest ever," but any contest that encourages you to by a record player AND lets you stick yourself with sharp pins is probably worthy of the title.

Even though we'd like to win the swag ourselves, Phillyist.com staffers are not eligible. Neither are you crazy cats at V2 Records. Phillyist.com readers of all shapes, sizes and geographic locations are eligible, however. Please fill out the entry form below. One submission per person please.
