Ooh, the record is also a subject of focus on MI: http://www.musikindustrin.nu/mi/smpage.fwx?page=191&I_FOKUS=4158 (in Swedish)

Okay, first off let me announce the winners of the KVLR CD giveaway. Congrats go out to Charlie Moats of Washington, DC, Thomas Ruetti of Switzerland and Gerda Adelgren of Sweden. Your CDs will be in the mail shortly.

I went and saw Randy last night and, in typical San Francisco fashion, the band ruled and the crowd sucked. I guess it's hard to motivate a lackluster audience when you're the opening act. Anyhow, I said hi to the guys quickly before the show and they told me that they spent the day in studio with Fat Mike of NOFX/Fat Wreck Chords recording a song for a comp due out later this year. I didn't press for specifics, but I assume it was Mike's own in-house studio Toast. As for the song, they said they were gonna play it, but I didn't hear anything new. More details later?

Lastly, Monday is a holiday in the US. I probably won't be updating.

Last chance to enter to win a free KVLR today! Email me with "KVLR Contest" in the subject line and you're in. Winners will be announced tomorrow.
