tiny update and a giveaway

checking out hellfire (elliott's manager's website), scott briefly commented that elliott is still working on the new record! rumors were that elliott might have a record by september but its looking we will have to wait little longer. i really think it will be worth the wait :)

well to pass the time (or a week at least), let's have a giveaway! i'm picking 5 random winners who answers these questions below correctly. those winners get to pick 1 prize out of the winners bookcase. the prizes include: a brief history cd, sweet adeline tshirt (depending on size), or a free bootleg (1 cd) of your choice out of my personal collection. here are the 5 questions you have to answer:

1. which alaska! member is on tap to play bass with elliott in future shows?

2. what is the name of the record in which elliott guest on and does the backing vocals for the song 'tore up and broke'?

3. what is the bside for the import baby britain 7"?

4. which soundtrack features elliott's cover of the beatles 'because'?
