Below is a post I put together a couple of weeks ago to drive some paid subscriptions to this little ol community. I am now on the verge of 200 free subscribers, a little over half of which at least check out what I have to say every week or every post. Since I understand money is tight and not everyone wants to pay to be entered into my giveaway, I have adjusted it.
Monthly, $5, gets you one entry
Yearly, $50, gets you two entries
Lifetime, $175, gets your four entries.
These giveaways won’t be the only ones offered to paid subscribers throughout the year! Help me make 2025 another year of growth on this little slice of the internet, where I discuss new music, dust off old, and spotlight other members of the Music Stack Community. This is for any paid subscription from, now until January 31, 2025
There are first, second, and third place giveaways. I will also ship worldwide. Any paid subscriber will get free shipping from CB’s New & Used Records, which will be launching first quarter 2025.
The drawing will occur on February 1, 2025 via video and random number selection—it will be posted here.
