Celebrating Two Years of TSCML

A Giveaway! 🥳

Will you support TSCML in its third year?

I’m giving away a $50 gift card to the supremely wonderful Darkside Records — raffle style — and all paid subscribers (new and existing) will be automatically entered to win!

Existing paid subscriber (before July 14th) = 5 entries
~~Become a paid subscriber today (July 14th) = 4 entries~~
Become a paid subscriber this week (by July 21st) = 2 entries
Become a paid subscriber this month (by August 11th) = 1 entry

Darkside is the Hudson Valley’s largest independent music store, with a vast selection of vinyl, CDs, cassettes, and other formats. They also have turntables, movies, games, T-shirts and more. All available on their website!

Enter to win <3

Paid subscriptions are $5/month or $50/year ($4.17/mo). I’ll randomly select a winner on August 13th and notify them via email (fine print below).

Bonus: paid subscribers get instant access to 50+ secret posts, playlists, and album recommendations (that people have really nice things to say about 🥰)

Reviews from paid subscribers

“This post was worth a paid sub alone.”
“I cried reading this, you’re an incredible writer.”
“I so love when you introduce new things to me.”

If you’re on the verge of upgrading and you’re detail-oriented, you can learn more about the paid offering here.

And if you need something juicy to read as soon as you take the leap, this is a paid post from this year that I’m particularly proud of (there’s a wholesome twist at the end).

Giveaway rules:

There will be one winner
I’ll use a computer to randomly select the winner
The gift card will be digital
To enter, you just need to be or become a paid subscriber at any level within the timeframe specified herein; no further action necessary
“Today” = within 24 hours of our anniversary email being delivered (ending approx. 8:15 a.m. EST on July 15th, 2025)
“This week” = by this time next Monday (July 21st, 2025)
“This month” = 4 weeks from today (August 11th, 2025)
Existing paid subscribers get the most chances because they deserve a “thank you” for their ongoing support
Your business with Darkside Records is between you and them. Once the gift card is delivered to you via email, I can’t assist you with order, product, shipping, or other issues having to do with whatever you purchase with it.
FYI, they say their gift cards never expire (but if you win and don’t use it, I can’t be held responsible for some force majeure freak thing that causes them to unexpectedly go out of business)
If lost or stolen, I can’t guarantee replacement of the gift card

Thank you for playing and good luck!
