“In The Bleak Midwinter” is a new single from Pushmi-Pullyu’s first full-band album, Never Love A Stranger. Originally arranged for a live performance on WYOU, “In The Bleak Midwinter” is the band’s take on a classic carol with words by the English poet Christina Rossetti (circa 1872).
Never Love A Stranger documents Pushmi-Pullyu’s shift from electronic ambient pop to completely instrumented textural rock.
Recorded at House Arrest studios in Madison, WI by Brian Nolan (of American Hi-Fi). Cover photo by Nikki Gibson. Cover design by John Praw.

WSUM 91.7 FM Madison and Mine All Mine Records present “Live on U DUB,” a live CD compilation release party and fundraising event at the Dragonfly Lounge on Saturday, December 15th, 2012. The release party will showcase Wisconsin’s rich reggae community, including T.U.G.G. (LA CROSSE), Roots Collective (MADISON), a collaborative set by Kingtown Rockers & Super Irie (MADISON), as well as set-DJ and compilation curator DJ Kayla Kush.
Paid entry to the release party includes one free copy of “Live on U DUB” (while supplies last*), which features ten tracks recorded live on U DUB at WSUM 91.7 FM Madison, documenting the show’s history so far. The CD features performances by TakI Allstars, Natty Nation, Unity the Band, and more. Additional copies of the CD compilation will be available online and at the event, digitally and physically. All proceeds from the release party and CD will help support WSUM, Madison’s award-winning student and community radio station.
“Live on U DUB” was curated by radio host DJ Kayla Kush, with help from Mine All Mine Records and Lost City Music Festival founder John Praw Kruse. Kayla Kush is an ardent supporter of reggae and music in Madison through her radio show, live DJ-ing, and the Murfie Podcast. Similarly, Mine All Mine has been a frequent supporter of benefit events, including the Lost City Music Festival. Their events have raised money for the Madison Area Music Association, SlaveFree Madison, and others. U DUB airs live on WSUM Wednesdays at 7:00 PM.

In this new EP, John Praw explores change and found-sound to create pieces that more resemble audio collages and case studies in sonic tension. It’s fuzzy, ambient, and sometimes rhythmic.
Dressed Up is the new solo side-project of Pushmi-Pullyu’s John Praw. He creates crunchy lo-fi sounds within a digital environment. This single marks the first official release by the project and features a remix by Brain Grimmer (of Lovely Socialite, Brothers Grimm), as well as a B-side titled Nobody But Batman. Watch the official music video below.
Catch the live debut of Dressed Up this Thursday, March 8th at the Dragonfly Lounge!

As you may know, we’ve recently begun working closely with Madison’s newest venue, the Dragonfly Lounge. Located below the beautiful Bellini Italian Restaurant (401 E. Washington), Dragonfly has been a small space for private events since Bellini was converted from a church (built in 1897) into one of Madison’s finest Italian restaurants. Now, the space serves as an intimate venue, and Mine All Mine has partnered with Dragonfly to fill the space. So far, our winter series has shown that Madison is more than ready to support a new venue with friendly faces.
Read on below for videos and photos from our launch party (Pioneer, Pushmi-Pullyu, Ugly Brothers and Lovely Socialite), as well as live audio featured on WORT 89.9FM (Cap Alan, Golden Donna and Lovely Socialite). At the end, grab some info on booking with Mine All Mine at the Dragonfly Lounge, as well as our upcoming shows (see the sidebar to the right). Continue reading
The year 2011 was an important one for Mine All Mine Records. Over the course of a year, we have released nearly 60 albums, EPs and singles, we have raised money for multiple non-profits, we have begun booking shows at the DragonFly Lounge, and much more!
To celebrate, we are setting free five releases from 2011 that were previously not available for free download. For the next week, you can download the following five albums and EPs absolutely free! You can still visit the download page to send some money to the artist(s), but for now, this is our gift to you. Continue below for descriptions and download links.
After roughly five years and eighty-plus artists (almost all available for free today), Mine All Mine Records is exceedingly proud to set free our 200th release. This set of 28 tracks features many faces from our past as well as artists new to the label, and every track (at the time of release) is new and unreleased elsewhere. Enjoy nearly two hours of new music spanning the entirety of what Mine All Mine Records has to offer.
Sales and donations from this compilation all go toward updating the Mine All Mine Records website in order to offer sorting, recommendations and more. All free options remain available.
