I'm Drunk! Team Mercury Softball vs. Mississippi Records: The Challenge

Its been a long time since this cover ran. How depressing.
  • It's been a long time since this cover ran. How depressing.

Oh, hello music nerds at Mississippi Records. Put down that rare Sun Ra LP for a second and listen up. Our two titans of the softball diamond meet this weekend (Sunday, 11am at University Field) in a tough divisional matchup with a playoff berth on the line. Since I am a degenerate gambler open to a friendly wager, let's make this game really interesting.

The stakes:
- If Team Mississippi Records wins, you guys can take over End Hits for a week. Once a day for an entire week you can post anything* you want. School us on how we know nothing about music (guilty as charged), post any song you want, or just write some love poems to Jandek or something. Whatever, it's your blog.
- If Team Mercury Softball is victorious, you have to hang a (music related) poster of our choosing in your front display window for a week. It'll probably be this one.

If you accept, email me before first pitch and we'll confirm the wager. May the best team win.

* Nothing illegal please.

As the sweetest member of the Wrecks, by having sweet in my name, I will take this offer to our GM and see if he bites. I'll put down my Batman and Robin LP (featuring the Sensational guitars of Dan & Dale), finish up my Obit for Andy Hummel, and let you guys know.

Mississippi Records, I've got my fingers and toes crossed. Please win. Please. It'd be nice to read about something other that the latest indie rock sensation, the faux-Americana and psych folk that constitutes Portland's own parallel to the grunge invasion, the pitchfork approved hip-hop usuals, and the world music of the week that the folks here seem to have learned about from PR releases.

I like some of it--it was great to see Tinariwen written about--but a different perspective would be nice; at least for me.

Thank you. And good luck.

I have it on good authority that the bet is officially on, no matter how many times my inside sources tell me this is all a sham. We will win, and we will be taking control of your transmission. See you Sunday, Scoop.
