Contest: Win a pair of Land of Talk tickets

On Friday, I had a great conversation with Lizzie Powell, the leader of Canadian indie rock group Land of Talk. The band happens to be playing Slowdown on Thursday and just released "Cloak and Cipher" on Saddle Creek.

The fine folks at Saddle Creek provided me with two tickets for the show, which you can win by entering yet another Rock Candy Contest.

Head here and enter your information. We'll draw a winner Wednesday afternoon for the tickets. Also look for my interview with Lizzie on Thursday in the paper's GO magazine as well as on Omaha.com

Land of Talk plays Thursday at 9 p.m. at Slowdown with Suuns and Conduits. Tickets (if you don't win the contest pair) are $10 at the venue or etix.com.

Land of talk downloads and videos after the jump.

Contest: Win double vinyl copy of The Black Keys' "Brothers"

The fine folks at Because Sound Matters want to give my readers some vinyl. So, they were nice enough to ship me a double-LP copy of The Black Keys' latest effort, "Brothers." Lucky you, it also has a big poster and a CD copy inside.

It's a great record, and I currently can't get enough of the lead track, "Everlasting Light." It has a dirty beat and a delicious guitar track.

I'm also looking forward to the band's show at the Anchor Inn on Aug. 9. Tickets to that shindig are $25. It's sure to be a helluva show.
