Introducing our first contest here on thesixtyone!
Up this week is a SXSW fan-favorite, Land of Talk. One of James' old pals saw them touring with Menomena last year and was absolutely floored by their performance. An additional snippet from the much loved/hated, yet ever venerable Pitchfork:
"Somehow Powell finds a way to balance early Cat Power fragility and PJ Harvey volatility; whether mumbling indecipherably or singing about "fuckin' around," girls who "still piss their pants," or the dangers of drinking when already tired, she's always in command."
So here's the deal: We'll tally up the top 5 listeners of the day every night at 10:00PM PST right here on this page. You'll earn a token each time you land in this pool (two tokens if you're #1), and the goal is to earn the most tokens starting from Wednesday April 9th to Wednesday, April 16th. Our cumulative top 5 winners will each be awarded with a really sweet Land of Talk collection featuring a limited edition poster, vinyl, and an acoustic version of "L'Aventure Acoustique" (CD).
Be sure to check out Land of Talk's latest single Speak To Me Bones.
Big thanks to Alex over at One Little Indian Records.
