We're All (Severed) Ears for Death Proof

We've been fans of Quentin Tarantino's soundtracks ever since he thought to intersperse snippets of Steven Wright's radio monologues between tunes by the George Baker Selection and Stealer's Wheel. In college they were utilized to great effect at parties since back then most of the songs Tarantino picked had never been re-issued. (The glut of "one-hit wonder" albums hadn't hit yet since most songs hadn't been licensed for compilation use.)
And we love his movies; hyper-stylized pastiches that are so Now it hurts, yet absolutely and totally enamored of past movies. So it's no mystery that we are totally looking forward to taking in the Grindhouse double feature, coming out this Friday, that he's put together with Robert Rodriguez (another of our favorite modern mavericks). After the sprawling epic that was Kill Bill we are more than ready for a movie that jackknifes our sensibilities in a ruder, cruder, and more visceral direction.
To celebrate our salivation for the impending rush of adrenaline and gore that's sure to be present in both films come Friday, we're giving away a few prized connected to Tarantino's contribution, Death Proof. We've got a a CD and an LP of the soundtrack to give away, as well as a nice big ol' movie poster for the segment.
Enter below the jump for your chance to win before Friday!
