  • joshua612 · 6 months ago
    Andrew Bird's Noble Beast would be a fantastic addition to my collection. Thanks for the great blog and contest!
  • Jason Slatton · 6 months ago
    Hmmm...how about some Robyn Hitchcock re-issues?
  • john ferris · 6 months ago
    Actually I am not fussy. I will read and listen to anything of interest.
  • legalsecretary · 6 months ago
    I love to read and love CD's. How much better could this get?!
  • Geoff K · 6 months ago
    Mostly to fill some gaps in my own CD and book collection, I would wish to see anything from Leonard Cohen or Jacques Brel in your music stack and "Cat's Cradle" or anything by Henry James amongst your books. Thanks for the cool giveaway - I hope you post what was included in the set once the contest expires!
  • Tom · 6 months ago
    Gogol's stories. I can't find my copy. Maybe the dog buried it.
  • tigerstripe · 6 months ago
    Cuz I says so by the New York Dolls!!
  • Rachel M. · 6 months ago
    If I won, I hope David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest would be in the prize package because I want to participate in Infinite Summer (http://infinitiesummer.org/) this summer but can't afford to buy Infinite Jest right now.
  • Laura B · 6 months ago
    I hope a Tegan and Sara album is in there. Can't wait for their new stuff in October :)
  • Hendrik · 6 months ago
    I can't possibly think of anything more exciting than receiving that many books and cd's without knowing their names but knowing they come from someone with such great taste - so count me in for anything! If I'd have to make a call I'd say some Björk would be great because my collection is sorely lacking her! Thanks for the contest in any case - what a great idea.
  • Nick Bahula · 6 months ago
    The new Modest Mouse would be nice to hear. Other then that I'm open to anything. And since i'm a new dad i can use the free books and cd's!
  • Betty Antibus · 6 months ago
    I would hope for a mystery book and some cds from the 80s i.e. Lionel Ritchie, Elton John, Whitney Houston but I love to read and listen to cds while driving the car (not at the same time)!
  • Bruce · 6 months ago
    The Hazards of Love by the Decemberists would be awesome; so, too, would Maus by Art Spiegelman (I gave my last copy away).
  • Keith Rawson · 6 months ago
    CD: Love is Hell pt.1 & 2 by Ryan Adams
    Book: And the hippos were boiled in their tank by Kerouac and Burroughs

    I am glad you are Spring Cleaning! Hope I can add your 'cleaning' to my collection
  • mjbradle · 6 months ago
    If I managed to win, it would be most excellent if Ornette Coleman's The Shape of Jazz to Come were one of the albums.
  • pngn · 6 months ago
    Well I'm hoping that one of those cds is a finely crafted mixtape. As for a book I have been meaning to read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies or am also on the look outs for a new graphic novel so Adrien Tomine's Shortcomings would be rather nice.
  • LE · 6 months ago
    Hoo wow. I doubt this would be a victim of spring cleaning, but I've been thinking that Sid Jacobson's graphic 9/11 Commission Report would be one of the books that I'd rather own than borrow. I also only own one of the Dave Eggers books that I so treasure.

    Borrowing is usually my M.O., thanks to my lack of expendable income. So suddenly owning 25 hard copies of pretty anything would make my shelves oh-so-happy.
  • Wes Umstead · 6 months ago
    I'd really like a copy of "The Other Glass Teat" by Harlan Ellison.
  • astroprof · 6 months ago
    A graphic novel accessible to a graphic novel newbie would be great!

    I'd go for Murakami Diary 2009 from Haruki Murakami because I love his writing and I just discovered I had missed the release of this little gem.
  • brent · 6 months ago
    i hope there's a copy of "bastardos!" by blues traveler.
  • Tahryn Smith · 6 months ago
    Jeffery Lewis's latest would be very cool.
    Or Human Highway, Mountain Goats,
    Conor Oberst...

    Anything I suppose!
  • fulltext · 6 months ago
    Anything by Roberto Bolaño.

    I still kick myself for missing out on the remaindered 1st Editions of his works years ago before he became popular.
  • Lisa Peet · 6 months ago
    Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon--And the Journey of a Generation. One of a zillion books on my wishlist but that's the first thing I thought of, for some reason.
  • Bret · 6 months ago
    Musicwise, I'd love to get the recent albums from Floating Action and/or Mazes. Bookwise, some Murakami short stories or some Kundera would be dandy. Or a good graphic novel...I'm about due for another one of those.
  • Michelle Draveski · 6 months ago
    great contest just in time for summer
  • Eliot Gelwan · 6 months ago

  • James Klousia · 6 months ago
    For music, I'd love to see something by Okkervil River. As far as books go, anything by Cormac McCarthy!
  • Jeff · 6 months ago
    Right now, I'm hoping you have a spare copy of MGMT and "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies." A man can dream, right?
  • Ted · 6 months ago
    The new Sonic Youth would be great to listen to while reading Steal This Book by Abbie Hoffman.
  • Seth Christenfeld · 6 months ago
    I'm hoping that it will include a copy of John Crowley's book In Other Words. I know that it won't, but I can't find it anywhere for less than 50 bucks, and as much as I like him, I can't justify paying that much for anything that size.
  • Lauren · 6 months ago
    I've been dying to read Mia Kirshner's book I Live Here since it was released. I doubt you'd give that one up, though, I know how much you dug it.
  • Scott McCormick · 6 months ago
    I would hope for some Passion Pit and/or Phoenix so I can crank it up in the car with the windows down!

    New York Dolls, Robyn Hitchcock - lots of good stuff to win

  • tami hackbarth · 6 months ago
    I hope Amplified: Fiction from Leading Alt-Country, Indie Rock, Blues and Folk Musicians by Julie Schaper (Editor) and Neko Case Middle Cyclone are in the give away and come home with me.
  • Oyn · 6 months ago
    I'm hoping that "The Man in the High Castle" would be in that stack of books, yes.
  • calixita · 6 months ago
    Anything new and interesting to read and hear would be a lovely surprise (especially something I might not have seen or heard otherwise. It's always good to expand our horizons, as some wise person once said.)
    Thank you, largehearted boy!
  • Mike · 6 months ago
    I still haven't read Our Band Could Be Your Life, so that would be cool. But beggars can't be choosers . . .

    also, i am kind to all woodland creatures, and that must be worth something.
  • Emily · 6 months ago

    The NEw Jeffrey Lewis Album or A book by an author that can become my favourite author after reading him.
  • inkstainedlife · 6 months ago
    This is tricky, because there are so many books I want and so many books I already have. And the same can be said for music! But I'll pick one at random ...

    I would love to win a mix of books and albums that included Absalom, Absalom by William Faulkner.
  • queer_theory · 6 months ago

    If I win I hope that anything good or interesting is in there. I desperately need to expand my horizons and I'd love to read / listen to anything, but I don't trust my friends' tastes and the bookstore just seems so overwhelming that I don't know where to start. I've also been stuck listening to the same bands for years now.
  • Angela J · 6 months ago
    I would hope some "oldies" CDs and some books that are so interesting you can't put them down.
  • Leon · 6 months ago
    I was hoping to get a lot of reading done during the summer.

    Best of luck to the winner!

    - Leon

    We have two adult and two teens in our household who are all voracious readers and music lovers. It's hard to imagine that someone wouldn't like whatever was in the box!!

    We run the gamut in books from fantasy (both of my teens LOVE), to classics (think Jane Austen), nonfiction, to mysteries.

    Our musical tastes frun from country (my hubby), to rap/hard rock (teenage son), to teen angst & classical (daughter) to easy listening and oldies (that would be moi!!)

    Always so generous with the offers...thanks, David.

    Of the many books I've read in my lifetime, I've never read anything by David Foster Wallace, and since his unfortunate passing, have wanted to delve into his works. So, I guess a copy of 'Infinite Jest' would be the perfect place to start.

    Cheers.

    I'd have my fingers crossed for Greg Kot's new book "Ripped: How the Wired Generation Revolutionized Music", and maybe the new Trashcan Sinatras album "In The Music" to serve as my reading soundtrack.
  • edfuller · 6 months ago
    Music: i only have propeller ;) by GBV. could listen to more.

  • Aaron · 6 months ago
    It would be great if the new MONO disc was in there. I for some reason never think about picking up that CD when I'm at the store, so that would be pretty great.

    I have to say that since I became a stay-at-home I enter book contest and hope to win. When I win I read and give to anyone who would read it. I love to read and my budget does not allow to buy all the time. I learn I love all types of book so you pick and I will read them. As for CD I like jazz, pop, soal and christian. Thank you for the chance.
  • Jon · 6 months ago
    I would hope that Rise Above by The Dirty Projectors would be in the collection...that album has destroyed me lately.

    If that recent Nick Lowe collection is in this box

    (ok, lame, but I'm trying to be Suess-like)
  • Joe Ruiz · 6 months ago
    Your item on "Plenty Enough Suck to Go Around" made me want to read the book. I'd also like "Lush Life" by Richard Price. Music? Any Tom Waits or Neil Young!
  • illiniemags · 6 months ago
    I really want the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs CD. I didn't get it when it first came out, and I hate paying full price for an album from Best Buy, but from what I've heard it's one of the best of the year so far.
  • Matt · 6 months ago
    Everyone i know recommends David Foster Wallace, and i still haven't gotten there, and for music, hmmm, I'm going to say either Hombre Lobo, since it's probably the next record i'm going to pick up, or go with the Neil Young Archives, because it makes me drool like mad and is completely unattainable.
  • Tony Aiken · 6 months ago
    hopefully, something by Tobias Wolf in the book pile, and something by Robyn Hitchcock in the CD pile.
  • Tina J · 6 months ago
    I would love if the Sonic Youth book was in there. As for cds, I;m not picky, I haven't been able to afford any in along time so anything would be nice!
  • JF · 6 months ago
    Some of the responses on here are just plain bizarre or just plain mainstream.

    I'm a new reader, a new twitterer, and I think we may live in the same city. I'd hope for something I've never seen or heard before that has some sort of redeeming quality. Base, but true.
  • Jeremiah · 6 months ago

    I'd love it if Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi by Geoff Dyer was in the books pile. I've heard wonderful things about it, but can't find it in any bookshops.
    Music ... maybe the new Jeffrey Lewis CD. I saw him live before the new CD came out, and now I'm saving my pennies so I can buy it.
  • mortalcure · 6 months ago

    Jedediah Berry's Manual of Detection or Jan Elizabeth Watson's Asta in the Wings...either would make life grand. Or Modest Mouse. Anything by Modest Mouse.

    Steve Earle's Townes
  • dorkygirl · 6 months ago
    I hope it would be something I have never heard of before! I've been stuck in a lovely Americana/alt-countryish rut the last few years, and while I still love that genre (if it can be called that, since it encompasses so many types of music), I know I need to check out some of the other awesome stuff out there. Same thing with books- I love me some biographies and memoirs, so some good novels would be a perfect change of pace for me.

    The Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell.
  • Brandon · 6 months ago
    How about "The Disenchanted," Budd Schulberg's roman à clef about F. Scott Fitzgerald's very public alcoholic meltdown at Dartmouth College over a long winter weekend in 1939? I don't think that book is even in print anymore, and it's just about impossible to find.

    For some reason this morning I thought of Colin Wilson. I recall enjoying a couple of his novels about 30 yrs ago.

    More than a book or CD, I would love to listen to classic shows of some of my favorite free-form college/WFMU DJ's of years gone by. Now I understand why folks listen to old radio shows of "The shadow" etc.

    I love the site (specifically the links to articles elsewhere).

    Paring down ones possessions ... at age 50 I seem to have moved from accumulation and "want" to "that's enough" and moving towards "simplify". And yet sometimes still that "hole" in ones soul that is always looking for the next "fix".

    Best book - Status Anxiety. It was given to me by a friend who was in the process of leaving NY City when I moved back to NY City a few years ago. I gifted him a book of essays by people who left NY City and found great success post, but still miss that time in their lives...

    The best cd I've ever received as a gift was "Definitely Maybe" by Oasis in 1994 from my mother. My mother's present are usually dreadful (Irish County & Western - Ugh) but she'd heard from my Aunt that Oasis were very popular with the kids. I'd heard 1 0r 2 tracks but when I listened to the album I put it on again...and again.....and again. I'd been a music fan before then but they became MY band like tons of others around that time.I've followed Oasis since then (and just saw them again yesterday in Slane Castle in Ireland. Is the new stuff as good? No, of course not. Will they do anything as good in the future? Probably not. But does it matter? No, because when I hear "Rock and Roll Star" I thrown back to 1994 again and I don't need them to compete with that bacause in farness who can?
