Toronto Music Scene is giving away an absolutely gorgeous, heavy collectable 12" vinyl of Broken Social Scene‘s latest release, Forgiveness Rock Record, courtesy of Arts & Crafts records. Canada’s most famous collective have created perhaps some of the most beautiful, abstract, haunting pieces to date, including vocals from all the favourites: Jason Collett, Kevin Drew, Brendan Canning, Fiest, Emily Haines, Charles Spearin, Amy Millan and the rest. If we didn’t suffer from a hefty guilt complex, we would hide this record from all of you and keep it to ourselves. But alas, it is yours if you email contests@torontomusicscene.ca and tell us why you should have it. Best reason wins. Winner will be notified by email.
