JoeJuly 16th, 2009 at 10:19 am

Wow pretty good idea.

tomJuly 16th, 2009 at 10:22 am

impeccable football jersey taste as always

ciaranJuly 16th, 2009 at 11:14 am

Fantastic idea, can’t wait to see the contents grow!

TrungJuly 16th, 2009 at 11:56 am

tasty, tasty idea, guys.

RobJuly 16th, 2009 at 12:29 pm

Your competition should be person who looks most like me.

Hopefully I’ll be in with a chance.

JeskaJuly 16th, 2009 at 1:08 pm

Awesome idea :) very sad I’ll be missing you on this tour by one day though. Stupid plane travel.

JoeJuly 16th, 2009 at 1:40 pm

Are fans welcome to bring contributions to the box at shows?

I cant wait to see you guys August 6th at the 9:30 club in DC!!! It will without a doubt be the best experience of my life

ChekyJuly 16th, 2009 at 2:01 pm

I’ll win this. I don’t know how, but I will. The content so far already has me drooling.

[...] here’s the introductory video to Los Campesinos! record box project, whereby they tour the Unites States collecting 7″s before giving you the opportunity to win the collection. Because they’re Good Guys. Full details are at their blog. [...]

an amazing idea. can’t wait to see how it grows

SamuelJuly 16th, 2009 at 3:36 pm

It’s really bugging me what team’s shirt that is, wanna fill me in (like craig david)? Looks cool though.

I think this box may be too indie for me and would need some sort of pandera-hope type DJ Quik or 2 Live Crew at the back.

JonJuly 16th, 2009 at 4:02 pm

Looks like it could be the Malta National Football Team Jersey

GarethJuly 16th, 2009 at 4:21 pm

Hey!
Yeh, it’s the Maltese National Football Team shirt from 1994-96.
Had a good 0-0 draw with the Czech Republic whilst qualifying (or, rather, not) for Euro ’96.

I want that box so bad! :#

vanessaJuly 16th, 2009 at 5:13 pm

Fancy you say that Rob… I think I look exactly like you. I win!

Thanks Rob

edenJuly 16th, 2009 at 5:32 pm

i’d like some badges that take up space

ClairJuly 16th, 2009 at 6:05 pm

Ahhh wouldn’t that make my life.
Sucks I’m going to be on vacation for a while… hopefully I’ll still have a chance. D:

EruJuly 16th, 2009 at 6:32 pm

Congratulations for the future winner.

LindsayJuly 16th, 2009 at 6:43 pm

MINE.

ashliJuly 16th, 2009 at 6:45 pm

I love this. This is brilliant. I hope you will post the videos of you buying the records. I would watch that. x

Marcos.July 16th, 2009 at 7:41 pm

only the north americans can compete? or south americans too? :D .
BTW i saw No Age a couple of months ago in La Trastienda (Yes, where you played!) and therefore deserve said box.

GarethJuly 16th, 2009 at 7:43 pm

At no point in that video do I mention any restrictions on who can or cannot win the competition. Anyone will be able to enter.

It’s my birthday today, so can this be my belated gift?!? :)

David GlickmanJuly 17th, 2009 at 12:40 am

This is very cool and I can’t wait to try to get. I would also like to suggest that when you get to Austin, you go to either Waterloo Records or An End of an Ear for your single buying needs.

RobertJuly 17th, 2009 at 4:49 am

Im so sad I can’t see you at the 9:30 club in DC. Why aren’t you coming to Virginia?

Marcos.July 17th, 2009 at 6:32 am

then im SO winning this.

DavidJuly 17th, 2009 at 12:55 pm

OH MY GOODNESS! This is just incredible!
Los Campesinos!, you are amazing

HenryJuly 17th, 2009 at 1:41 pm

Yes, brilliant idea. Vinyl lives on. At a Woods/Real Estate show this week I encountered a young man who was itching to buy some vinyl swag but, revealed that, alas, he doesn’t own a record player. Well now. I say, “Chuck those CDs and mp3s!” When the big curtain comes down, how ya gonna play ‘em anyway. As my friend Bob says, you can always play your vinyl in a blackout with a paper cup and a pin.

JuliaJuly 17th, 2009 at 2:56 pm

This is a great post. You guys have quite a unique blog. NEVER CHANGE! :)

KaleyJuly 17th, 2009 at 11:59 pm

Gareth, where did you get that 7″ box from? I’ve been looking for exactly that for far too long.

ninja lulzJuly 19th, 2009 at 4:12 am

hi basil

Robert.July 20th, 2009 at 8:37 pm

Okay. So I live in Pennsylvania. A state where you decided playing shows was unnecessary. But that’s not the bad part. The part part is that I am moving to a town located approximately 5 minutes away from D.C. TWO DAYS AFTER you’re August 5th show there. I really really hate my life right now and I am sad for not being able to see you guys.

Due to my horrific dilemma, I would like to own said box.

I love you.

Marcos.July 20th, 2009 at 9:37 pm

Robert, why dont you go there two days before you move in order to “get to know the place”?

Robert.July 20th, 2009 at 10:40 pm

I’m already going two weeks earlier than I actually need too.
And if I wasn’t seventeen and I had a job and money and a car I would totally drive down myself.
Fail or what?

Marcos.July 20th, 2009 at 10:50 pm

yeah, im 16 and i know what you mean. Tell your parents, maybe they’ll understand

FernandaJuly 21st, 2009 at 4:21 pm

please come to Chile…!

Different RobertJuly 22nd, 2009 at 4:55 am

I am going to try as hard as I can to see you in DC. I don’t know if it would sell out and I would like someone’s opinion on this.
