When we went to see Ariel Pink perform at the sweltering Mercury Lounge the other week, we found ourselves carting around a 7-inch with pencil drawings of humans making out with animals. It probably looked pretty weird to people on the street, but whatever, it was worth it. Now you too can share in our defiant awkwardness, because we’re giving a signed copy away to one lucky winner. And if that wasn’t enough, we’ll throw in a pair of tickets for one of the tour dates below—hopefully you live close enough to get yourself there, or it will be kind of a bummer for everyone involved. After the jump, check the tour dates and then hit us in the comments with your favorite Ariel Pink song from his extensive catalog, as well as your city of choice. Remember to use a real email address so we can let you know you won.
