Buying a gift for an audiophile isn't always as easy as getting them a Sam Goody gift card. So that is why we have assembled the ultimate package of musical awesomeness for our annual charity auction. This package towers above anything else we have ever attempted, and to be honest, it's pretty ridiculous.
1. You'll get a pair of badges to SXSW (a $1,390 value). Not wristbands, but badges. The real, front of the damn line, deal. It's the greatest week of music on the planet, and now you can see it all like some fancy-pants VIP. Lines? What lines? Those are for suckers without badges. You'll have to get yourself to Austin, but sites like this make that very possible for very cheap.
2. You and your special someone can get all smoochy-smoochy with dinner for two at the Doug Fir Restaurant and a pair of passes to a show of your choice.
3. Head on over to The Fix (every Thursday at the Someday Lounge), because Lifesavas' turntable wizard DJ Rev Shines is going to give you an hour-long DJ lesson behind the decks.
4. Now that you have mastered the turntable, time to stock up with a $75 gift certificate to Music Millennium.
5. Reward yourself with a freakin' huge mountain of music. This seriously ginormous collection--with over 30 CDs and a dozen LPs--is listed after the jump, and includes the My Morning Jacket LP boxset, signed goodies from Mudhoney, and tons more.
Total estimated cost of this package: $40 billion dollars. Okay, maybe I'm a little off (it's probably around $2000), but it's a bargain and you better pry open your wallet and bid now, and bid often.
