Today, I got something new for you: I’m gonna give away some music, for free. Yes, that’s how much I love you. And how much Lazy Acre Records love you. Because they gave me some codes to download their compilaton “Three doors down and doing the charlestone”. Awesome, eh?
The compilation is full with catchy indie and folk tunes, perfect for listening to while enjoying the last days of this summer. My personal highlights include the Oslo based pop orchestra Cold Mailman, my most favorite Norwegian boy Uno Moller, the lovely two-voices composition of Stylusboy’s “Jigsaw” and “Burial” by the Escapists, a song that somehow reminds me of the earlier Kings Of Leon.
But now – enough with the talking. If you want one of the five download codes leave a comment, write me a mail, send me a DM on twitter or a message on facebook or just call me if you have my number. As soon as the codes are all gone – well, then they’re just gone.
Enjoy the music and enjoy the weekend.
In case anyone of you still hasn’t heard it yet: it’s RECORD STORE DAY tomorrow.
The tradition to celebrate the art of music once a year also made it’s way over the ocean from the USA to tiny Austria. So, here are my recommendations for how to spend that day in Vienna and/or participate via the interwebz:
1) At 3 pm, diver are gonna play at the Recordbag in the 6th district. Who still hasn’t seen them live despite the fact that I’ve been going crazy about them for nearly a year now – come!

2) The loveliest label, apart from the one I’m working for, has a crazy online program going on. Lazy Acre Records will be broadcasting live sessions and shows from different locations all around the world: they start with Stylusboy broadcasting from the UK, there will be an acoustic set from Uno Moller from Oslo and Sajama Cut from Jakarta, and finally a broadcast from My Little Pony who are currently in Vienna (and who you should go and see at 10 pm at Badeschiff!).
Also, there are gonna be some limited time releases in the form of single downloads including songs, videos, a fanzine and wallpapers.
You can get updates and check out the whole program as well as Uno and Mrs. Alice Tragedy (who also designed the awesome flyer) talking about their favorite records over at the Lazy Acre Records Record Store Day blog (damn, what a long word..).
3) I would also recommend you to go to the Radiokulturhaus and see Portugal. The Man doing a radio session there – but unfortunately the tickets were only given away through competitions. However, fm4 will put the session on their website from April 20 on.
Well, enjoy your Record Store Day – I’m sure I will!
