YACHT Tickets Winner !!!

"San Francisco I love you, but Your Fraking me Out"

"San Francisco I love you, but Your Fraking me Out"

Well it’s  about that time, and we have Winner!!! Thank you all for your submissions, and be sure to stay posted for more free stuffs. -PMT

Winning Entry:

San Francisco, I Love You
But it’s hard to get around
MUNI trains crashing
Throwing folks to the ground

San Francisco, I Love You
But it’s hard to get around

BART might be safer
But strikes keep me stuck in this town

A quick trip down Mission
Takes an hour on the 49
Your playboy mayor’s
Stalling the bike plan for favors
From organized labor
It should be a crime

San Francisco, you’re perfect
Don’t please don’t change a thing

Our fans don’t get tazed
While watching the A’s
Our homeless are fun
Smoking crack in the sun

In the Mission bars
I can drink beer under the stars

San Francisco, I Love You
But you’re freaking me out

YACHT

Yacht

YACHT

If you like addictive dance beats, hooks for miles, lots of synth, and you happen to be shopping around for a new belief system, YACHT is the answer. In the band’s official “Mission Statement,” YACHT is “a Band, a Belief System and a Business conducted by Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans.” (they swear they aren’t a cult) Bechtolt  (former member of The Blow and co-conspirator of their stand-out album Paper Televison) is a song-writing wizard, creating arrangements and catchy beats that stay stuck in your head long after the track has ended. With bands like Dirty Projectors and LCD Soundsystem (DFA labelmate and former touring partner) in their corner singing high praises, YACHT is charging full speed ahead with the recent release of See Mystery Lights, their first album on the DFA label.  The album’s standout track, “Pyschic City (Voodoo City),” finds the duo singing about having parties and baking cakes in possibly one of the catchiest songs I have heard in a long time. If YACHT is throwing a party with their music as the soundtrack, I would be there in a heartbeat.

Oh wait, they are having a party.  A record release party. Friday 8/7, at the Rickshaw Stop and we’re giving away free tickets, look down!!!  See you there. -JM

Our good friends at the Rickshaw have given us two tickets for Fridays’s party, so were giving them away for free. To enter, send us an e-mail to plasticmilksf@gmail.com with your best short San Francisco re-write of LCD Soundsystem’s , “New York I Love You, But Your Bringing Me Down.”

Lyrics (No rules here go nuts):

…

New York, I Love You
But you’re bringing me down

Like a rat in a cage
Pulling minimum wage

New York, I Love You
But you’re bringing me down

New York, you’re safer
And you’re wasting my time

Our records all show
You are filthy but fine

But they shuttered your stores
When you opened the doors
To the cops who were bored
Once they’d run out of crime

New York, you’re perfect
Don’t please don’t change a thing

Your mild billionaire mayor’s
Now convinced he’s a king
