Giveaway: Talking Heads 180 Gram Vinyl

One Track Mind — Wed, 26 May 2010 05:02:48 +0000

I’ve got to admit: this is a pretty freakin’ cool giveaway. [tweetmeme]

Thanks to our friends over at Because Sound Matters (a very cool vinyl-only online shop), we’re giving away a 180 gram vinyl pressing of 77, the debut album from post-everything heroes Talking Heads.

Why 77? There are a lot of reasons but the most important one is that it is a seminal, monumental record from start to finish, making it a perfect addition to any vinyl collection.

So how do you get your grubby paws all over its glorious, grooved splendor?

1) Follow One Track Mind on Twitter. You’ll receive messages about each day’s featured songs and access to special “Tweesp only” bonus content. We usually tweet once a day, so you won’t be bombarded with messages.

Big News: Our New Sister Site, Seeing Voices, Is Live!

One Track Mind — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 15:58:19 +0000

Apologies in advance for the break in our regularly scheduled programming, but I wanted to share some big news with you today.

About eleven months ago, I launched One Track Mind to call attention to some of the artists whose work was not making it onto people’s radars, bands whose songs dazzled me and whose creativity and passion I wanted to share with the world. I had no way of knowing how the site would be received or if it would even work, but I’ve been fortunate enough to have the site discovered by appreciative music fans all over the world.

Today, One Track Mind is getting a little sister: Seeing Voices. Seeing Voices takes the same basic premise as One Track Mind–that everyone has time in their day to listen to one new song, even if they can’t keep up with traditional music blogs, new release schedules, and the overwhelming tide of new records released each week–and applies the concept to music videos instead of MP3s.

When you visit http://seeingvoices.com (and I hope you will), you’ll find one new music video spotlighted daily. The selections are works from artists whose songs and corresponding clips are exceptional enough to make them stand out from the pack. As with OTM, the picks on Seeing Voices will come from a mix of relative newcomers and established indie favorites. Each video is rated and comes with a bounty of supplementary information about the artist, video, and the album whence the song came.

Please check out Seeing Voices, share the link, and let me know what you think! The music video is a bit of a lost art, so hopefully there is room in your daily coffee break to sneak one in.
