Competition CLOSED: Eleventyfour to the floor

EleventyFour does not do four-to-the-floor kind of kicks; I just thought it made a nice little retrotechno title. We love Eleventy at Culch. You may have noticed already. We were utterly thrilled, then, to hear that the kooky cutie is making her Electric Picnic debut this year, playing the Love Letter Stage in the Body & Soul village on Saturday September 3rd. She’s also playing Hard Working Class Heroes in October, but we already told you that last week. Pay attention, for Christ’s sake. Anyway, Eleventy is so thrilled that we’re thrilled that she’s given us two copies of her very lovely debut EP, The Joy Imperative, to give away to a couple of readers willing to be thrilled alongside. Want one? Drop us a comment, telling us something that makes you smile, after the jump!

Just Google Maps ‘em, will yis? Kids today with their sense of entitlement. This is … There’s more
