Happy (Video) New Year From Mine All Mine!

Tom Teslik Single Ranked in Top 15

We are happy to share the news with you that Tom Teslik’s “Get To Know You Song” has been ranked the #11 song in Madison for the year.  The Onion’s A.V. Club ranked it on their recent top 15 list, which includes the likes of Zola Jesus, The Cemetery Improvement Society and All Tiny Creatures.

You can see the article here.

We released Tom’s excellent song as part of the split “Sing/le” with Ben Knollenberg.  You can download that here.  Tom and Ben have both been great friends of ours for years, and we’re proud of their accomplishments.

Make sure you’ve grabbed all of the entries in our Single For Christmas series, and as an added bonus, we are proud to release Raquel Salazar’s brand new video for the John Praw track, “Black Fog.”  Watch above, and while you’re at it, subscribe for new material coming throughout the new year.

Amy Hiller’s Open Call For Wintery Creatures

As always here at Mine All Mine Records, we thrive on community involvement.  We know that our artists are some of our most active listeners, and we also know that our listeners are some of the coolest people out there.  Hint.  Hint.

Now here’s the personal appeal, straight from the fingers of Amy Hiller:

I’ve got a new EP called ‘Icey’ coming out soon and for the artwork, I’d like to create a sort of collage of animals you might find in icey climates. Polar bears, penguins, those white foxes etc. They’re going to be cut out and stuck onto a background so i would literally just need the animal, in whatever pose you like.

If you think you could do this, i would be eternally grateful. You can spend as little or as long on it as you like.

Submit your wintery creature drawings in the comments below, or email them to mineallmine.records@hotmail.com.  But hurry – time is running out!

Though we’re not 100% sure on the deadline, Mine All Mine Records is upping the ante.  Anyone who submits an original drawing that fits the criteria Amy asked for by Christmas evening will get a very special prize.

New Release: Óscar de la Fuente and Raechel Bosch

This week’s release is the absolutely stunning first outing by collaborative duo Óscar de la Fuente (of Fira Fem) and Raechel Bosch.  The worlds of Minnesota and Spain come together for something truly worthy of your time.

Umbrella CD Release & Festival Wrap-up

Last night was the culmination of months of work from numerous organizations (and one very dedicated Lindsey Ballo).  It was the Umbrella Music Festival, and despite the unfortunately-timed winter weather, we are proud to announce that it was a success.  With the help of our many partners, we raised over $200 for SlaveFree Madison.

Above, you can see the album artwork created by Joe Ludwig (look for an interview with Joe in the future).  This was a limited-edition CD we sold at the event to raise money.  The release is not available for download (but we may have a few extra copies for sale in the new Mine All Mine Records store soon).
