THE ALBERT HAMMOND, JR. GIVEAWAY

Actually, technically this is the “Como Te Llama?” give away. We’re not giving Albert away. But we’d love to. Dear U.S.-based readers, you can get your own free, suitable-for-framing autographed copy of the vinyl version of Albert’s great recent release. This is what it looks like without his signature:



I know few people listen to needles on wax anymore, but this is a pretty cool thing to have even if it doesn’t fit into your CD player because it’s autographed. And, in some cultures, that means there’s a little piece of Albert on it.

So go sign up for his newsletter at his , and, to win the album, drop a comment with your e-mail address attached telling me why you’re so great you deserve this cool prize. Winner will be picked in 7 days.
