One of the happy coincidences of being The Official Blog for Record Store Day 2011 is that we’re afforded the opportunity to underscore one of our main themes—namely that vinyl is a contemporary medium, one that’s never really gone away, and is perhaps thriving and more vital than it has been in some time (DJ’s, purists, and collectors notwithstanding.)
So, to that end, we’re spending the next eleven weeks straight putting records into the hands of TVD readers as we count down to April 16, 2011—Record Store Day.
The rules can’t be any simpler: each Tuesday for the next eleven weeks we’ll be launching a new RSD2011 Vinyl Giveaway and all you need to do to enter to win is to leave a comment in the comments section to that week’s giveaway letting us know why you deserve to win that week’s LP.
Be creative, funny, incisive—whatever it takes to grab our attention. Winners will be notified upon the launch of the next giveaway.
