The true power of artistic media is unleashed when it pervades and humanizes every moment of our lives. Art cannot merely be commerce. It must help us be human. Even the latest craze around vinyl records has nothing to do with a trend and everything to do with the sound, the culture, and the format of vinyl that makes it an extremely human and powerful way to listen to music. For the next 48 hours, you can allow beautiful media to humanize everyone around you by sharing our FREE spring mixtape. You'll also immediately enter a drawing for a FREE vinyl record player autographed by Love Good artists. Here's how it works: 1. SHARE the free spring mixtape non-stop by sending your family and friends to lovegoodculture.com/free with your name in the "SHARED BY" box. 2. For every share, you receive one entry into the lottery. 3. The more entries you have, the greater your odds of winning. On Friday at midnight, we'll randomly select a winner, who will be notified over the weekend and announced next week. If you're a patron, every mixtape share counts as two entries (doubling your odds of winning the record player): lovegoodculture.com/join. Imagine having an app better than Spotify one day, curated by artists not algorithms. Then imagine something better than Netflix, curated by patrons not Hollywood producers. This is the Love Good dream: to empower you, the everyday consumer, to raise your standard for media and build a better culture. We can't wait to accompany you as you change the world.
