Steve Vai‘s record label has a new album coming out next Tuesday June 22nd (more info here):

To celebrate the release, the Favored Nations label has generously offered KUR five free copies to distribute among you! Obviously, merely handing them out to the first five who comment on this post is a tad bit boring, so we decided on a little contest…
Update: the contest is now closed! Thanks to all who played along. Some patience please as the jury sorts through the entries…

Right now I’m running a free contest on my blog that I thought you might want to let your readers know about because the grand prize is a framed silver gelatin print of Frank Zappa backstage in Vancouver ’74 (currently selling for $300).
Have a look at the grand prize and be sure to check out the contest!
