signed Curtis Vodka EP give-away

Curtis Vodka knows how to make some moves. After some gigs in Europe in July, he spends a short amount of time in Anchorage before relocating to Brooklyn. He was in Europe when his EP dropped, and I was lucky enough to get him to sign a copy for a give-away before his move. Since the internet helped CV gain the popularity he has, this contest will not be limited to Anchorage listeners of Push Play. I'm giving away a signed Curtis Vodka EP, along with a Sou Funk EP (both from Flamin Hotz). All you have to do is leave a show drop at pushplaykrua@gmail.com in mp3 format or call 907-786-6810 (KRUA comment line). Deadline is 12 p.m. Friday, August 18 (Alaska time). Winner will be contacted via email.

Comic Book Fever are from Toronto, Canada. more info at their myspace. Loving their description of what they sound like; "50's pop having sex with 80's new wave, while punk rock mastubates in the corner."

playlist for 7/21/06: guest Eddy

Eddy was my co-pilot, and we vibed off each other. He played a track, then I played a track. It was fun. I've known him since high school, and we're the type of folks who would love to pick out music for tv shows, movies, and video games and then paid beaucoup dollars just because we listen to good music. (Sidenote; nothing was planned nor queued, which makes an interesting show because you just have to know your music)

One of my favorite bands that I missed when they came out has to be the cleverly named Suburban Kids With Biblical Names. They hail from Sweden, and you can find more info at their blog.



This Friday, I won't be in to do a live version of Push Play. Cross your fingers, it may be pre-recorded. At the very least, I'll upload some sort of mix later on to make up for it.
