the constellations remind me i am home [mix 1]

Hey everybody,

So I realize I haven't properly introduced myself... I'm Maggie. Carrie & Naomi brought me on to fill the position of "Promotions Coordinator" which is essentially a fancy way of saying that I'm supposed to hustle people into coming back for more Inklings related goodness after each visit. You'll see me posting bulletins and tweets and pictures and all the stuff that the Inklings staff have been previously doing - but we're really going to be kicking it up a notch!

I could use your help, too! Posting banners or bulletins about our site and interviews is a great way to spread the word about your favorite bands we've had on the site. :) In addition, we hope to be giving back more to you as fans - our current contest is the chance to win schwag from the Pop Goes Punk 2 crew! Tomorrow is the last day to enter, so head on over to http://www.inklings.tv/features/contests/ to do so.

And finally, the crux of this blog post: the mix. A lot of times I just think or articulate via some weird soundtrack that makes sense to very few people but me. However, this time I'll share - maybe you can find a new band/song YOU like.

1. versaemerge - past praying for
2. hot water music - flight & a crash
3. four year strong - bada bing wit a pipe
4. anarborrrrr anythiiing
5. thursday - time's arrow
6. versaemerge - moments between sleep
7. this providence - chasing the wind
8. this providence - sand in your shoes
9. neko case - middle cyclone
10. the receiving end of sirens - this armistice
11. a replay in my mind of pierce the veil's michael jackson cover from taste of chaos...

take action tour 2009

Hey everyone. Thought I'd take a second to introduce myself to you all. My name is Maggie and I'm the new promotions coordinator for Inklings! This year we really hope to make the site bigger and better for you guys, the fans. Lots of ideas are beginning to take shape, I'm crossing my fingers for a possible street team. We want to interview your favorite bands, as well as ones we think could be your favorite. Hope you'll keep visiting our website and supporting what we do!

That said, I wanted to take a minute to talk to you guys about the 2009 Sub City Take Action Tour, which stops by NYC tonight, where we're going to interview some of your favorites: Anarbor, Meg & Dia, and Breathe Carolina. The tour also features Cute is What We Aim For and Every Avenue. We can't wait to show you the footage. In the meantime, I'm going to encourage you all to read up on the Take Action tour and the message behind it:

"The annual nationwide charity tour, now in its eighth year, raises funds and awareness for youth involvement in charitable action. For the second straight year Take Action has chosen not-for-profit organization DoSomething.org to benefit from the funds raised and to help spread the message of action to young people across the country. DoSomething.org is a national not-for-profit that believes that young people have the power to make a difference. They inspire, empower and celebrate a generation of doers: young people who recognize the need to do something, believe in their ability to get it done, and then take action."

At Inklings, we are all involved and passionate about non-profit work, and hope you are too. Thanks for reading! See you at a show.
