Once all the entries have been received, we'll come up with a fancy way of letting our label house cat randomly select the winner. We'll take entries for one week and announce the winner on Friday, May 30.

In Your Ear Records returns to Rhode Island
Four years after closing its historic Thayer Street location, In Your Ear! returns to the Rhode Island music scene at its new location at 462 Main Street in Warren, RI. After 19 years on Thayer Street in Providence, the storied music store shut its doors in 2004, the victim of spiraling rents and taxes, and the rush to legal – and illegal – music downloading. In the meantime, Chris Zingg, part-owner of In Your Ear, opened a separate store, Zingg Music, in the East Bay in 2001. Recently, Zingg entered into discussions with his partners about combining forces and retooling his store as In Your Ear. A deal was struck in early 2008 and the former Zingg Music is now In Your Ear.
As part of IYE's return to the Rhode Island market, the store will be revamped and restocked with an emphasis on new and used vinyl; the store in Warren will carry newly-issued titles as well as hard-to-find collectibles from the past. The store will also stock turntables, phonograph cartridges and record supplies as well as musical instruments and instrument supplies. In Your Ear will also continue to offer music lessons for guitar, bass and drums in its 5 studios.
While most large music retailers are only carrying top hit recordings, the store in Warren will continue its commitment to customer service through its in-depth selection and special-order service for new and out-of-print CDs and LPs. “If you can't find a recording, try us,” says owner Zingg, “We are proud to be part of the Warren revitalization. Come visit us and experience the last of the great record stores!” Established in 1982, In Your Ear has 2 other retail locations in Boston and Cambridge, MA.

Looney. A wide variety of abstract forms are explored on this release, from bizarre pointillism-plus-poetry to full-on raging torrents of sound and fury. This heavy, crystal-clear recording will appeal to old-school free music buffs as well as listeners looking for truly something different delivered with intensity, skill and wildness. A must for fans of ESP-Disk/BYG/FMP Records, Albert Ayler, Ornette Coleman, Peter Brotzmann, et al. Purchase a copy over at the label website.

Heavily influenced by 60's and 70's pop, modern electronic music, and the blue-collar melancholy of Green Bay's industrial surroundings, Turn Blue is a band more interested in conveying emotion through complex melody and deceptively minimal soundscapes than conveying a meaning or message through played-out lyrical ideas. For fans of Elliott Smith, Wilco and Surf's Up-era Beach Boys. Twelve tracks for only $6.00 including shipping and handling. Download mp3s from the Turn Blue website and purchase a copy over at the label website.

In honor of this year's Most Awkward Thanksgiving Moment, here are a couple of unreleased tracks from Janis Joplin. This is how it went down during a discussion of the Rolling Stones "Rock and Roll Circus":
FFIL: Yoko Ono was just always so painful to listen to.
ME: Well, although they sound nothing alike, I think Yoko Ono and Janis Joplin both sound like a bag of cats.
FFIL: Janis Joplin is probably my favorite female singer of all time.
-sound of crickets-
ME: Hmmm, I could use another beer (gets up and leaves the room)
later that day....
HER: Did you really tell my father that his favorite singer of all time sounded like a bag of cats?
ME: Hmmm, I could use another beer (gets up and leaves the room)
In the annuls of my holiday disasters, it doesn't even make the top ten. #1 will always be my grandmother walking in on me peeing when I was 14, then promptly turning around and announcing to the entire house what she just did.

Suicidal driver gets 8 years for crash that killed 3 musicians
November 26, 2007
Jeanette Sliwinski, the former model convicted last month in the deaths of three Chicago musicians who were killed when she rear-ended a car in which they were riding during a failed suicide attempt, was sentenced today to 8 years in prison.
Cook County Circuit Judge Garritt Howard, who found Sliwinski guilty but mentally ill on reckless homicide charges Oct. 26, imposed the sentence during an emotional hearing in the Skokie courtroom where he presided over her bench trial.
Prosecutors had asked that Sliwinski of Morton Grove receive the maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
Sliwinski, 25, who has been held in the psychiatric ward of Cook County Jail since the July 2005 lunchtime crash at Dempster Street and Niles Center Road in Skokie, apologized to the relatives and friends of the victims who were in the courtroom, before being sentenced. She could be released from prison in a few years if she receives good-time credit.
"There's not a day that goes by I do not think about the grief and the pain I have caused," Sliwinski, weeping, told the judge while looking toward the victims' families. "I never meant to hurt anybody. I'm sorry."
Mental-health services would be available to Sliwinski in whatever prison she is assigned to, prosecutors said.
Sliwinski's relatives were on hand for the sentencing as were relatives and friends of the men killed in the crash- Chicagoans Michael Dahlquist, 39, John Glick, 35, and Douglas Meis, 29. At the time of the accident, the men were on their lunch break from work at Shure Inc, a Niles company that makes microphones and other audio electronic products.
Sliwinski pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity in the crash after being charged with first-degree murder. She told authorities she had gotten in a fight with her mother in the family's Morton Grove home before she got in her car, drove east on Dempster and slammed into Dahlquist's car at a stop light.
In his ruling, the judge rejected the first-degree murder charges and said he believed that Sliwinski was trying to kill herself.
