Love this episode! Yes, the band is great – truly great – and that always helps. And its not because I have a minimum level of “um’s” and “alright’s” within my recording, but mostly because today’s mystery artist (Difficulty 7) was recommended by a listener.  Despite having released over 25 episodes of New Music Mystery so far, communication and feedback about the show has been pretty much limited to my wife and close friends.  But luckily the Thanks-GiveItToMe box full of music giveaway has triggered a couple of communications from total strangers who are showing appreciation for the show AND offering recommendations about bands that they love and they believe other listeners will love too.  That’s the stuff that makes me happy.  Thank you Fran!

And if you would like to be happy with a TON of free music shipped to your door, you have just ONE week left to participate in the Thanks-GiveItToMe new music giveaway.  As outlined within the show, the steps are simple.

1. Launch iTunes on your computer, go to the iTunes stores and then search for New Music Mystery show.

2. Leave us an iTunes rating and a sentence or two about why you listen to the show.

3. Email me your iTunes username and shipping address.

You should do this TODAY since the contest deadline is ONE WEEK away (Friday – Nov 28th (Yes, BLACK Friday)) It would be best if you emailed me immediately after leaving iTunes feedback as it usually take iTunes 24-48 hours to make reviews public and I wouldn’t want someone claiming your feedback and stealing an opportunity to win a box chock full of CDs, Vinyl, Cassettes and an XL t-shirt from our new sponsor, Glendalough Distillery.

While this is usually the space where I include an amazon affiliate link, this release is still only available in Ireland, so I will just include a link to the record label, but you’ll still need to listen to the show to figure out the mystery artist!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone – Please return on Monday for more great new music!
