Music Win Tickets to Train. No, Seriously. Please Take Them.

Even a bird with a crown would not attend this show

For some odd reason I was handed a stack of tickets for tonight's Train show at the Crystal Ballroom. That is terrible news. The good news? Uncle Kracker canceled.

Unlike our other contests were we require some effort from you, I just want these things off my desk. These tickets are killing my indie cred. (I now have to go listen to all 50 discs of the Merzbox just to bring my cred back up to previous levels.) Anyway, if you want these tickets—for whatever the reason, I won't judge you—email me and they are yours. You'll have to pick them up at our offices before 5:30pm today, but once you are softly rocking to... uh... whatever vaguely popular song Train sings, it'll all be worth it.

Good luck?

God, my indie points must be maxed out. I've never even heard of this band. Are they really that mediocre?

I believe they had some blustery top 40 sensitive-duderock hit in the early 2000s.

I once saw a video of theirs back when MTV started a second channel just to play music videos. Chunty's description sounds spot on. Lol @ "duderock".

Uncle Kracker canceled??! Fuck that. I'm not going to sit through "Drops of Jupiter" if I don't get a chance to see Kid Rock's ex-DJ.

@Dave Bow: You're the intern. You don't get a choice.

Calling all Angels is the familiar one for me, brings back memories of sitting in a dentist's chair.

I'd gladly take them but I'm busy making my own unhip yet well-crafted music that Ezra would never be caught dead listening to.

For folks who don't like or don't care about music at all, Train is your band of choice.

Oh look, uber-indie-hipster-douchebags defining what is music! It's ironic since the majority of indie musicians in this town can't even play a major scale.
