Our friends at MUTE/Spoon Records have given us a couple copies of this 40th anniversary edition of CAN’s masterpiece, Tago Mago, to give away to you!

As you probably already know, this is one of the greatest and most unique albums ever made, influencing everyone from the Sex Pistols to Radiohead. The new edition of this genre-defying album comes packaged in the original UK artwork for the first time since 1971, and includes a bonus CD featuring 50 minutes of unreleased live material from 1972, remastered in 2011.

And the only way to win is to tune in to my show, Beyond Beyond is Beyond on East Village Radio, Thursday (12/7/11) from noon to 2pm (EST)…and then and there I’ll tell you how to enter!

Happy Holidays, from Klaus Schulze and Beyond Beyond is Beyond! Klaus didn’t really say that so don’t quote me.

But thanks to our friends at SPV Records, BBiB has a few copies of two different new Klaus Schulze 3-CD box sets to giveaway to you!

La Vie Electronique, Vol. 3

La Vie Electronique, Vol. 4

Through these stunning box sets, the ear becomes reacquainted with the vast expanse of Schulze music from its earliest beginnings right up and into its modern incarnations, robust with the now-patented lengthy irises, numerous kaleidoscopic events, and still-innovative breadth of tonalities that have become the artist’s stock-in-trade.

Enter to win one of these killer box sets:

Thanks to the good folks at Backbeat Books, I have a couple copies of this badass prog-rock illustrated history to giveaway to cats like you!

Here’s some words about the book:

From its artful beginnings (Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd, the Mothers of Invention, and those progressive forebearers, the Sgt. Pepper-era Beatles), through the towering guitar solos, monumental synthesizer banks, and mind-boggling special effects of the Golden Age of Prog (Rush, Pink Floyd, Yes, ELP, Genesis, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, UK), through the radio-friendly “pop era” (Asia, the Phil Collins-led Genesis, and a reformed Yes), and right up to the present state of the art (Marillion, Spock’s Beard, and Mars Volta), this is a wickedly incisive tour of rock music at its most spectacular. This is indeed the book prog rock fans have been waiting for, the only one of its kind, as fantastic as the subjects it covers.

My two cents…I love this book and have been reading the shit out of it on the subway the last couple weeks! Lots of great pics and lots of great info on lots of prog greats.

Hey dudes,

Tune in to Beyond Beyond is Beyond on Thursday, two days before what would have been John Lennon’s 70th birthday, and find out how to enter to win the new Gimme Some Truth 4-CD box set! I have one box to giveaway to one lucky listener.

Happy Birthday and Rest In Peace, John!

Prepare thine self to be enveloped in the hot molten goodness that is Magma…this week on Beyond Beyond is Beyond! The epic French progressive rock band (if we had to pin them down to one genre) founded in Paris in 1969 by classically trained drummer Christian Vander, will be performing one of their only two U.S. shows this year at the Highline Ballroom on Monday, September 20th…and you could possibly go for free if you tune in to Beyond Beyond is Beyond on East Village Radio on Thursday, where I’ll be giving away a couple pairs of tickets.

Not only that, I will also be talking on the phone to Magma’s Stella Vander. So be sure to show up on time to Beyond Beyond is Beyond on East Village Radio at noon eastern, Thursday, 9/9/10!

Hey dudes,

As Steve Hackett is going to be on the next Beyond Beyond is Beyond show on East Village Radio, I wanted to make sure that you’ve heard a bit of his most recent and very excellent solo album, Out of the Tunnel’s Mouth. It just came out last month in the States and you MUST own it. Seriously, it’s really good. Have a listen for yourself…

Steve Hacket – Fire On The Moon

Plus, I’m gonna giveaway a couple copies of this fine album on the next show as well. So tune in to Beyond Beyond is Beyond on East Village Radio at noon eastern, Thursday!

Thanks to the awesome folks at Rhino Handmade, I’ve got a couple of these bad boys to giveaway this week on Beyond Beyond is Beyond. So tune in to East Village Radio Thursday at noon (eastern time) for your chance to score some killer FUDGE!

On this Thursday’s Beyond Beyond is Beyond show, I have no guests lined up, but I will be playing AND giving away all kinds of jams throughout the show.

GIVEAWAYS THIS WEEK!

First of all, thanks to our friends at Bella Union, I’ll be giving away a copy of the album I was raving about on last week’s show…Queen of Denmark by John Grant! God, it’s good.

Secondly, I’ll be announcing the winner of last week’s Rock Trivia question contest. The question was to name the Vanilla Fudge drummer that went on to form Cactus after Vanilla Fudge dissolved…or melted.  Several listeners emailed with the correct name…Carmine Appice. The surprise is a killer surprise box set of music that I will announce on the show Thursday, along with the winner’s name.

And for good measure, I will also be giving away a Doors-related item in this week’s Rock Trivia contest!

And I might decide to throw in one more giveaway too…because it’s just that kind of week.

So, for your chance to win many rockular things and to be pleasantly stimulated for 2 hours, tune in to East Village Radio on Thursday, noon eastern…and we’ll venture BEYOND-OND-OND-ond-nd-d

(Dig this amazing John Grant illustration that Bill McConkey did for MOJO…)

A neo-psych juggernaut…or something like that (the thing is REALLY good!)

I will be giving away a copy of this raging echo monster of an album on Beyond Beyond is Beyond on March 25th.  Enter to win it now by emailing me at beyondbeyondisbeyond AT gmail DOT com  OR simply Tweet a picture of your thumb to @BBiB

Well my friends, I’ve been listening to Yes since I was 11 years old and am a total fanboy.  Do I agree with their decision to replace Jon Anderson with Canadian tribute-band bro?  Hell no!  But alas, the Yes machine must roll on, whether or not they run all their decisions by me.  But I digress…

The point I’m trying to make is that this here Yes fanboy will be talking to the most famous Yes keyboardist, Rick Wakeman on Beyond Beyond is Beyond this Thursday! Wowzers…this makes the second Yes member I’ve had the opportunity to interview!

Rick has always had a successful solo career, and we’ll be talking about his latest project The Six Wives of Henry VIII – Live at the Hampton Court Palace, which is an epic staging from earlier this year of his classic 1973 solo album.  He had been petitioning for years to stage the show there at Henry VIII’s house and was finally granted the wish.  And Rick is not known to skimp on his projects…the results are absolutely stunning and the sound is fukkin’ tremendous!

And thanks to my friends at Eagle Rock Entertainment and Kayos Productions, I will be giving away copies of the DVD and also the CD to lucky emailers (beyondbeyondisbeyond -at- gmail.com) and Tweeters (http://twitter.com/BBiB).  Just be sure to mention your favorite Rick Wakeman joint to be entered!

Oh yeah, and one of the winners will be chosen from the comment section below…

So be sure to tune in to Beyond Beyond is Beyond Thursday at noon eastern on East Village Radio to hear Rick and I shoot the shit and for the usual weekly rock & roll bombast that you’re used to!

Hi, it’s me, Mike…sitting on the other side of your computer. Come BEYOND this week and listen for your chance to win a new CD from a new BBiB-approved band called Rubblebucket! I’ve been listening to it all week and man, it’s a mesmerizing blend of afrobeat, reggae, funk, soul and of course ROCK! And their chick singer kicks serious ass! So tune in to East Village Radio at noon Thursday to hear how to win it…

And stay tuned in for some songs from a couple amazing BLUE bands who are extra blue now, as both Blue Cheer and Blue Ash both lost original members this month. Rest In Peace, Dickie Peterson…

…and Bill Bartolin of Blue Ash…

AND, thanks to the good rockers over at Anthology Recordings, I’ve also got some great EXMAGMA music in ‘Anthology is Also Beyond’. You gotta hear it all on Beyond Beyond is Beyond, Thursday at noon eastern at East Village Radio dot freakin’ com!

CHEERS!

Mike

Win It Before You Can Buy It…right here, right now!

Recorded in Todd’s current home state of Hawaii, ‘Arena’ is yet another notable addition to Rundgren’s remarkable career as a performer, songwriter, and producer. The album showcases his unique songwriting style and sonically captures the essence and energy of arena rock with bombastic, guitar-driven tunes like ‘Mountaintop’, ‘Strike’ and ‘Mad’, while the anthemic song ‘Mercenary’, transports you to a stadium with its epic chorus, with ‘How Do You Like Me Now?’ resounding to every seat in the house.

To enter to win Todd’s new rockin’ Arena album via a digital download card (all the jams without all the unsightly plastic), just leave a comment below with your favorite Todd song, and we’ll let you know via email if you’ve won.

Cheers and Good Luck!

UPDATE (as of Thursday 9/25): Hey all, thanks for playing. The winners have been chosen and contacted, so the contest here is closed. BUT, if you still want a chance to win, head on over to the Nights With Alice Cooper blog and enter there. Many more will be given away!
