I’m a fan! Pleeeeeease! I’d adore the vinyl! I love my turntable!
1 | Jay July 12th, 2008 at 12:12 amWow, I guess I’m the only one sitting at home on a Friday night. I’m pretty cool. Regardless, I love Shearwater and Okkervil River.
2 | Jay July 12th, 2008 at 12:25 amOh man, is this a “first comment wins it”-type situation? If it isn’t, I’d love to throw my name in the hat for these records!!! I still can’t believe Shearwater is opening for Coldplay… although as soon as they announced it, it seemed like almost too perfect a pairing. I’d pay, pay, pay to hear Jonathan Meiburg and Chris Martin sing together. *spinechills*
3 | Sara July 12th, 2008 at 12:51 amPut my name in the hat please.
4 | Nickolas Bahula July 12th, 2008 at 1:41 amI’m at home on a Friday evening/Saturday morning listening to Trout Mask Replica thinking how amazing that cover is and hoping I win something…
5 | Kaley July 12th, 2008 at 3:43 amEven in France we love Shearwater… So if the postage is not too expensive for you, I would love to have a vinyl with this great cover !
6 | Franck July 12th, 2008 at 4:12 amDon’t know if I’m too late to get in the running for this. If not, please put my name in the hat. Thanks!!!!
7 | Dean July 12th, 2008 at 5:27 amBeautiful test pressings from Shearwater? I’m definitely in.
8 | andy (not andyl) July 12th, 2008 at 7:59 amI’d love to throw my name in that hat, hell yeah.
9 | Emily July 12th, 2008 at 8:07 amPlease count me in if there are any left.
10 | Dave July 12th, 2008 at 8:28 ammmmm
11 | Eden July 12th, 2008 at 8:41 amI’m in. Is that the album art?
12 | Chad July 12th, 2008 at 9:56 amWow. The only thing better than a new Shearwater album is a new Shearwater album on vinyl!
13 | Paul July 12th, 2008 at 10:05 amSounds good to me. I would love to hear this album on vinyl.
14 | Dan July 12th, 2008 at 10:28 amPlease put my name in
Looks like I’m a little late here, but “vinyl” is in my name!
15 | bob_vinyl July 12th, 2008 at 11:05 amI just got a new Panasonic receiver circa 78 and I need some new vinyl to blast.
16 | M July 12th, 2008 at 11:30 amI’m definitely interested to give that thing a spin
17 | Mark H July 12th, 2008 at 11:33 amFirst heard Shearwater on this site…I’m in!!!
18 | Eric July 12th, 2008 at 11:52 amHow does this work exactly? Is it the wittiest/funniest/most comical? Is it the most insightful/perhaps ironic in some manner? Is it random luck? Or is it the biggest devotees in their representation of his/her devotedness to said band? Or can I just leave a series of periods as my comment? It’s obvious we are all only commenting for the chance to be number one at something for at least one moment, one ephemeral glance at perfection, one instant of the glory of beating out ALL THOSE WHO ARE COMPETING FOR THAT ONE DESIRABLE GOAL!!!!!
Please enter me in the drawing for one. Please.
19 | Zach July 12th, 2008 at 12:18 pmvinyl sounds good to me
20 | Jasbort July 12th, 2008 at 12:33 pmHow cool. I’ll throw my hat in this ring as well.
21 | Jim K July 12th, 2008 at 12:50 pmi’d love a copy on vinyl, i sleep with my arms around the turntable!!!
22 | bobby gillespie July 12th, 2008 at 12:51 pmbobby
I’m a fan with a turntable!!! I’d love a copy of the record or the single!
How will you ever decide?
Scott
23 | Scott July 12th, 2008 at 1:45 pmi hate vinyl, i’ll just sell it at amoeba and get a few clearance cds. bring it on.
24 | rykodisc July 12th, 2008 at 1:48 pmOh man: I would kick a child–a little child–for the opportunity to own this. Hell, I’ll kick anyone you want. Just let me know.
25 | Jacob July 12th, 2008 at 1:50 pmThat sounds fantastic. I’ll kick the guy who said he’d kick a child to have this.
26 | Devin Bustin July 12th, 2008 at 2:17 pmWhat a deal, eh? I’d love to be put in the hat. I’ll have to buy a better needle, though; if “Rooks” is as good as I think it will be, I want it to really soar.
Thanks for being one of my daily stops on the web.
Altman E.
27 | Altman E. Studeny July 12th, 2008 at 4:09 pmIf it’s last comment in, I’m currently leading! Otherwise, just tell me who to kick.
28 | MrPizzaBoxMan July 12th, 2008 at 4:23 pmi would seriously like to be the proud owner of some shearwater vinyl. please?
jeff.
29 | jeff from wv July 12th, 2008 at 4:29 pmHOOK ME UP!
30 | ...banter July 12th, 2008 at 4:31 pmI want to be in the contest too.
31 | Mark July 12th, 2008 at 4:41 pmI need more vinyl.
32 | mark July 12th, 2008 at 6:28 pmwould love me some Shearwater vinyl! Thanks!
33 | David Bachman July 12th, 2008 at 7:43 pmHmm. I missed Okkerville at a festival because I was getting hassled by police. I was looking forward to seeing them the most, after the Cure, of course. While this wouldn’t make up for said lost chance, it sure would help ease the pain.
Thanks for your consideration.
Nathan
P.S. By the way, I missed the Cure as well. Twenty years in preparation. Rather anti-climactic, I would say.
34 | Nathan July 12th, 2008 at 8:26 pmyo aqua drunk, put me down for a chance to win that vinyl. my trusty turntable awaits. sure, it’s in a closet (damn the wife!), but i will free it again! i will!
35 | polk July 12th, 2008 at 9:06 pmI would like one of those lovelies, thanks.
36 | Amanda July 12th, 2008 at 10:12 pmI’m a fan w/ a turntable – hook me up!
37 | Rob Scholl July 12th, 2008 at 10:57 pmI can’t wait to see them live. I am a huge fan (with a turntable and a nice set of speakers), Shearwater is much more than Okkervil River’s side project.
38 | Matt July 13th, 2008 at 3:51 amShearwater – one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. I’m also a fan with a turntable who’d love to own the vinyl. Thanks!
39 | Laurie July 13th, 2008 at 8:09 amloves me some shearwater. great band.
40 | jt July 13th, 2008 at 9:24 amVinyl-loving fan here. I’d dig a copy for sure!

42 | jimmy July 13th, 2008 at 1:12 pmHey, I just heard Shearwater for the first time this week on MPR… was planning on picking it up this week. I guess I’ll wait to see if maybe I can win the vinyl copy!
43 | Nick July 13th, 2008 at 1:33 pmWe Want Our Troops Back
44 | Timothy Selig July 13th, 2008 at 3:37 pmThe vinyl re-issue of “Palo Alto” is one of my most prized pieces of wax…
45 | Skinny Love July 13th, 2008 at 3:43 pmFingers-a-crossed,
Anthony
That would be lovely, lad.
46 | Son of Albert July 13th, 2008 at 3:46 pmPLEASE SEND ME A SHEARWATER RECORD!!! Just graduated from college and am moving into my new home. This record would be the perfect house warming gift.

51 | Daren Zook July 14th, 2008 at 10:42 amI want in on this too. My Joseph Plunkett Album deserves a much needed rest.
52 | SRDZevon July 14th, 2008 at 11:21 amWhen are the winners announced anyway and how?
Everything I’ve ever won came out of a cereal box.
53 | nathan July 14th, 2008 at 12:30 pmIt would be much appreciated. One of my top albums of the year. Thanks.
54 | Derek July 14th, 2008 at 1:51 pmDue to drug testing at my workplace, I’ve not been able to smoke weed for six years. This record will help me cope. I have all these repressed emotions coming to the surface and I need the healthy outlet that this particular record would provide!
55 | biscuit July 14th, 2008 at 2:45 pmmy dinner table turns
56 | Robert Brockie July 14th, 2008 at 2:51 pmi’d love the addition for my record collection. I bought the downloads before I knew it was on vinyl…help me out.
