WIN HARD TO FIND ALBUMS
No, this isn’t about rummaging in your attic for misplaced CDs – instead, New State Music have rounded up 20 of the finest old school house
remixes to see the light of day. Tracks by William Orbit, A Tribe Called Quest, Stereo MCs, Roxy Music and more are featured on the two-disc set, remixed by the likes of Underworld, Andrew Weatherall and Norman Cook. Win one of two copies at list.co.uk/offers. WIN ST VINCENT ALBUMS
Quirk-pop paragon St Vincent (known to her mum as Annie Clark) is following up her 2009 album Actor with Strange Mercy, set for release on Mon 12 Sep. Clark’s hipster credentials are impeccable – she’s appeared on scene- skewering sketch comedy Portlandia, and collaborated with Bon Iver on a song for the New Moon soundtrack. You can check out a review of Strange Mercy on page 112; and we’ve got two copies to give away. See below for how to win. WIN CAITLIN ROSE TICKETS
No Mean City is a Glasgow-based music festival celebrating Americana. Falling neatly into that bracket with her soulful country-pop is 24-year old singer-songwriter Caitlin Rose, playing the O2 ABC on Wed 7 Sep. Her last album, Own Side Now, is a riveting good listen (we gave it four stars upon its release in July 2010) – if you’d like to find out for yourself, we’ve got 2 pairs of tickets to her Glasgow show up for grabs; to win, enter at list.co.uk/offers by Mon 5 Sep.
