A while ago my cousin called me up and said, “Blake! I just heard your song!”
Confused, I asked him what the hell he was talking about.
It was at that moment when I was introduced to an Indie Rock band from New York called Vampire Weekend. He told me to listen to this song called One (Blake’s Got A New Face). At first I chuckled. I thought it was funny. I had never heard my name in a song. I mean let’s be serious; Blake really isn’t really a common name and if I were to put it in a song, it would have been something about cake, lakes, snakes, or snowflakes. But that’s just me.
Since then I’ve been a big fan of Vampire Weekend and have really wanted to see them in concert. Sadly, since I’ve known about them they’ve yet to come to Nashville. Then yesterday I heard on the radio that they were coming in April. I was stoked!
Today as I was sitting at my desk, listening to the radio, just finishing up lunch, and I hear, “The first caller that can correctly tell me what song Vampire Weekend is giving away free on their website will win free tickets.”
I pulled up the website and immediately dialed the radio station.
Busy. Hang up.
Dial again.
Busy. Hang up.
Dial again.
Ring. Hang up. CRAP!
Dial again.
Ring.
And just like that, I answer the trivia question and win free tickets to their concert!
