There’s a couple nice little cheap music promotions going on around the internet that I wanted to pass along incase anyone has missed out.
First of all, as you’ve most likely heard, Paste Magazine is having a bit of a financial struggle with the current recession so they’ve been running a Save Paste Campaign hoping to get some donations to help cover the lack of advertiser support. A $25 dollar donation gets you over 100 rare tracks from bands such as The Decemberists, Neko Case, She & Him, Of Montreal, and The Avett Brothers to name a few. Paste is one of the coolest, most well put together mags out there covering more than just music such as movies, books, and really anything cultural significant in the arts. Click here to check out the promotion.
This other promotion isn’t very well known but it is still pretty dang cool none the less. Polyvinyl needs to clear some space so they can save over 10,000 records from getting trashed when a few of their warehouses are forced to close down. They’d like to move those records back to their office but they have to move some of their other stock out that they currently have sitting around the office. So, depending on how much you donate, they’ll give you some pretty cool CDs/DVDs. Some of the artists include Mates of State, Rainer Maria, Of Montreal, and Architecture in Helsinki. The $50 deal includes 26 CDs and 2 DVDs which is a pretty sweet deal. Heck the $10 deal will get you the Mates of State DVD and a CD each from Rainer Maria & Architecture in Helsinki. But I couldn’t stop there…that $50 deal was too good for me to pass up. Head here to see for yourself.
