TVD's Fall Vinyl Giveaways Week
Are you guys reading Scott Perry's New Music Tipsheet and receiving his weekly emails? If not, you should be. He's a pretty keen observer of the music machinery and just so happens to have written a piece on Monday on the band behind today's Fall Vinyl Giveaway, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros.
"You may notice that my weekly emails focus more on the business side of the music business, rather than the music side of the music business.
You all have two ears and you all know what you might like; we here at the Tipsheet just do our best to bring together all the week's new releases so you can find for yourself the bands that appeal directly to you, either for personal or business purposes.
But every now and then there comes along a band that meets both worlds -- a band that I like AND has an interesting business story to tell.
This week, that band happens to be EDWARD SHARPE & THE MAGNETIC ZEROS, a band who are making waves in underground circles, but whose story has gone largely unheralded by the mainstream.
Yeah, they've gotten press by all the right blogs and papers. And they're starting to get some airplay as they tour the States, including indie stalwarts KCRW, WXPN, and World Cafe. However, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros is not one of those bands that are dominating blogs & press to the point where radio HAS to play them or risk looking like a fool for not playing them. Yet.
But what's unraveling in real time, in real life, is the band is selling out concerts with little fanfare, propelled largely by word of mouth. In all honesty, I haven't seen anything like this since the White Stripes were selling out multiple nights in San Francisco, New York, and Detroit while they were still signed to Sympathy for the Record Industry -- in other words, those who know, KNOW.
For the uninitiated, Edward Sharpe is a rag-tag band of about a dozen modern hippies, lead by the former singer of Ima Robot. In the month prior to the July 14 release of Up from Below, they were playing packed shows weekly at a beat-down old theater in downtown LA with minimal airplay from KCRW. But that's just the beginning of the story.
Read the rest right here and leave your entries to win the Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros debut LP in the comments to this post. State your case and make it good. Because you're in the KNOW ...right?

Man Jon, some great stuff this week. I love this album, it is such a great new take on the folksy rock of the late sixties. Reminds me of Polyphonic Spree meets the Sir Douglas Quintet, and that is a great marriage.
I feel i should win because i am devoted to my vinyl, i have a turntable and i have been playing old vinyl my whole life and now i am trying to get vinyl from new bands-i just started to get into to indie bands and adding this album to my collection would greatly enhance my appreciation for new vinyl and new music, i can finally stop spinning all my zeppelin and sabbath.
Exit 97.7, WEXT in Albany, NY has also been playing this band from the start. Along with those awesomely cool stations KCRW and WXPN, WEXT was one of the first to play the EP before the album, and now the album is one of our faves!
We've been hearing that around the big towns these guys have been selling out shows. Oh, to be in a big town. ;-)
2019.12.05全台知名酒店經紀公司近期正在尋找酒店工作,或有意在公家機關內上班的人請注意,台北市政府依各轄內機關酒店上班人力需求,近期有66個機關釋出150個約聘僱酒店打工人員職缺。但因各酒店兼差需求人力職務、業務不同,因此薪資落差不小。例如北市府資訊局釋出的聘用高級研究員職缺,其月薪依學經歷,最高可達新台幣70000元,但台北市制服店、便服店、禮服店、鋼琴酒吧、日式酒店、飯局、傳播等服務員職缺,月薪僅給70000元。此次北市八大行業約聘僱人員招募自即日起~酒店兼職12月9日(週一)止受理報名,預計12月14日(週六)、12月15日(週日)舉辦甄試。
2020.04.10台北市知名酒店工作酒店小姐潔西(花名)驚傳酒店上班確診新冠肺炎,為境內確診第379案例,有知情人士透露,「潔西」上周酒店打工3天班,行跡跨足3家不同酒店上班,有警員一聽直呼「好危險」,擔憂上周臨檢過該3家酒店。酒店業者透露,近期將朝「個體化」方向經營,盼度過歇業寒冬。
知情者說,「潔西」上周酒店PT2、5、6上三天班,上班地點跨足3家酒店,上周5上班時發燒,隔天被酒店主管勸返家休息,但病況未好轉,至醫院檢驗後,前天確診。
知情者透露,「潔西」八大行業非常搶手,因她身材瘦高,有著大眼、長腿、瓜子臉、長捲髮,輪廓也很深,非常像混血兒。
有酒店業者說,目前規畫由經紀安排小姐至錢櫃、好樂迪等場所接單,要求客人用喊價方式一次買足時間,「以前透過酒店當平台,現在不受店面約束,全部個體化,市場有需求,就可以供,盼能熬過寒冬」。
有員警聽聞「潔西」上班地點跨足3家酒店,嚇得直說「好危險」,因酒店密閉空調,1次臨檢至少1小時,非常擔心被傳染。
