Congratulations to Johnny Bradford, the winner of our Choir pre-order package. We had several great entries, but to quote the immortal Duncan McLeod: “there can be only one.” Can you tell what I have been watching on Hulu recently?
The July issue is shaping up also – more details coming soon.
Sorry for the delay on this, but if you want to get a print version of the special issue on Homosexuality and the Church – those are now available. These are available through a print on demand service for cots + shipping. You can find details here:

We apologize for the people that live in countries where they don’t ship – hopefully that will be solved soon.
We here at Down The Line are pleased to offer our first contest, and extra excited that there is such a great prize! As you may know, The Choir is one of the pioneering alternative bands in music today. They are releasing a new album, Burning Like the Midnight Sun, sometime around the end of June and we are pleased to announce that the Down The Line contest winner will receive:

- Instant access to download the first track “Midnight Sun”
- 1 T-Shirt

- Audio StemsVIP invitation for two people to attend a private gathering with The Choir in Nashville, TN on July 24th, 2010. This event will take place at Dan’s house and will include food, swimming, a listening party and special acoustic performance. We’ll start this shin-dig around 2pm and go whenever it is time to quit! This offer will be limited to the first 25 Package A pre-orders. You will need to be responsible for your travel and lodging to/from Nashville. Details, directions and contact information will be provided to you shortly after you place your order.
Package A also includes the new CD (autographed), T-shirt, interview disc (this cd is a full length professionally produced audio special with music from the new album, song-by-song commentary by Steve Hindalong plus questions submitted by Choir friends answered by members of The Choir), stems disc of entire record (this is a disc of the separate mix files for those who’s profession or hobby is mixing/engineering and would like to take a shot of making your own mix of any/all of the songs from the new CD. We encourage you to post your own mixes online and we will promote links to your versions from our site).
*Note about the T-Shirt* While we don’t have the final design of the T-shirt to display during this pre-order period, please know that it will feature the fabulous artwork from the new CD & the actual shirt material will be very high quality cotton (not the cheap & scratchy 50/50 type). They are men’s sizes and will likely be a light grey color.
So, here’s the deal. Become a fan of Down The Line on Facebook (www.facebook.com/DownTheLineZine) and leave us a note on our “wall” about why you should be the winner. Get your friends to join and “like” your story – we’ll take these votes into consideration (not entering the contest? Go to our page anyways and vote on the stories you like the best by “liking” them). Just get the word out about the contest!
We will select the best entry and you walk away with an awesome prize! Also, check out The Choir’s website (www.thechoir.net) – they have 4 different pre-orders available for this new release.
The contest will begin as soon as you read this, and we will announce the winner the week of June 20th, that will hopefully give the winner time to make travel plans.
Cool banner, huh? I like the new artwork for this release. Anyways, Retroactive Records is bringing out a bunch of re-issues for you to check out. Already out is Jimmy Hotz - Beyond the Crystal Sea 30th Anniversary Edition on Born Twice Records (a new sub-label of Retroactive). If you are a fan of ArkAngel, Kemper Crabb, or progressive 70′s rock, you will love this album. Long considered a hard-to-find classic album. Look for a review in the next issue.
Also keep a look out for our first contest, featuring something cool from The Choir for the lucky winner.
Coming Soon from Retroactive Records:
Coming Soon from Born Twice Records:
These are all slated for a June release. There are also some other good albums coming out from Retroactive on down the line, as well as some great albums from some other labels and bands. Holy Blood is supposed to have a new one out soon – not sure where or how, but I will be happy to hear more black metal mixed with folk music. I’ll see if I can dig up more details on that one. I just saw mention of a colossal 10 CD box set from Glen Rowlands, so I will try to get more details on that. The Lost Dogs just put out a new one called Old Angel, but if you are reading this magazine you probably already have that one. If not – go get it! Oh, and of course, The Choir’s new album on the 24th of June. But if I am the first one to tell you that, time to get on Facebook. It’s been everyshere there.
