I totally won tickets to Goldfrapp!
Wasting time on the intertubes isn't always futile! A few clicks, a post or two, and I now have two VIP passes for the show tomorrow at the Warfield. I am grateful to a sometimes cruel and uncaring world for this little bit of good luck.

Goldfrapp are a British electronic music group known for their visual theatrics and contribution to the popularization of electronic dance music.<1> The band was formed in 1999 in London, England, and consists of Alison Goldfrapp (vocals/synthesizer) and Will Gregory (synthesizer).

Despite favourable reviews and a shortlisting for the Mercury Prize, the ambient sound of their 2000 debut album Felt Mountain was a commercial failure.<2><3> Goldfrapp's second album Black Cherry, which incorporated glam rock and synthpop into their music, was released in 2003. The album experienced success across nightclubs in North America and influenced the dance-oriented sound of their third album Supernature.<4> Supernature took Goldfrapp's work further into glam rock and dance music, and enjoyed international chart success.<2> Supernature produced three number one U.S. dance singles, and was nominated for "Best Electronic/Dance Album" at the 49th Grammy Awards.<5> Their most recent album, Seventh Tree, was released in 2008.

3. I was expecting a "Hard Candy"/Ellen Page reference.

This, coincidentally, is my favorite "Nobody's ever heard of it" movie. Watch this movie, people. You'll love it...not a date movie though. You also might want to avoid if you're squimish or get upset easily.

6. Saw a link to where they were offering free tickets
clicked, and an hour later, I get an email telling me I've won. Easiest bit of luck I've ever had, I think :-)
