Win Free Tickets To See Sebastien Tellier This Saturday + 12″ Vinyl Of His Hit “Kilometer”
Confession time: we have a man crush on hirsute French electro pop star Sebastien Tellier. His new(ish) album Sexuality has been the unofficial soundtrack at MMMHQ for awhile now (running neck and neck with early ’70s Detroit punkers Death, who we also love, love, love), and whether it’s the Beach Boys inspired happy-time jangle of “Divine,” the smooth Euro-lushness of “Roche” or the intimate, instrumental sparkle of “Sexual Sportswear,” we find nearly every song on Sexuality an ear-pleaser, which, in the Aughties, is a rarity indeed. Our favorite track on the record is “Kilometer.” (Longest. Sentence. Ever.) It’s so very sleazy—female cooing and moaning in the background, the “over the top” lyrics, the pounding and simplistic synth riff that just sounds French. Plus, it’s got a great NSFW video. (Always a plus.)
So guess what? In honor of Tellier’s performance this coming Friday at Starlight Ballroom, we’re giving away a 12″ copy of “Kilometer.” We’ve also got a pair of tickets to the show. In order to expand the winner’s circle, we’re giving each away as two separate prizes. Send an email to tips@makemajormoves.com with either “Sebastien tickets” or “12″ of Sebastien” in the subject header, and we’ll pick two lucky winners by Friday. (Keep in mind the 12″ is shipping from France, and will take a couple weeks.)
Good luck!
