Tomorrow night, the Mountain Goats are playing the Showbox at the Market with Final Fantasy—tickets are still for sale here, but if you're feeling lucky, you can enter to win a pair and pay NOTHING! Just send your first and last name in an e-mail to freetickets@thestranger.com with Mountain Goats in the subject line.

Here's what Eric Grandy said about the show in this week's Stranger Suggests:

The Mountain Goats, Final Fantasy
Each song on the new Mountain Goats album, The Life of the World to Come, is named after a Bible verse. "Genesis 3:23" ("So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden..."), for instance, is a song about singer-songwriter John Darnielle visiting his old place in Portland and how you can't go home again. As ever, Darnielle's spare acoustic songs tell compelling, detail-rich stories of human misery and persevering hope. Opening is Final Fantasy, the oddball conceptual chamber-pop project of prolific orchestral arranger Owen Pallett. (Showbox at the Market, 1426 First Ave, www.ticketmaster.com. 8 pm, $20, all ages.)

And if you really, really, REALLY want the tickets, you can double your chances of wining by entering AGAIN via the SEAshows Twitter feed! We have two pairs of tickets to give away—we'll pick a winner from both e-mail and Twitter.

Good luck!
