: no time for later :

... it is amazing what one notices when less, ah, pre-occupied than usual. Our local newspaper, the Times-Colonist, has a weekly 'give-away' deal in the Arts section, usually 2-3 newly released CDs. It is kind of random, I figure when they have enough they put a blurb in the paper, tucked away on page 8 or something?

Anyways, I was up early this morning and noticed that the TC was giving away The Trews new release 'No Time For Later'... so I fired off an e-mail and got a reply from the TC around dinner time, and I won it. I can't remember the last time I won anything ( or even tried to ), so that was kind of nice. Nothing like a little good old east coast Canadian rock 'n roll.

UPDATE: just picked up my CD, and I'm importing it into iTunes. Thought I should mention what I did not sign up to win. "The Historical Conquests of John Ritter" CD with tickets to tonight's show at Alix Goolden Hall. Tickets to see the Grupo Axe Capoeria's performance at the Mac Playhouse Sunday, as part of the Brazilian Cultural Festival. Yup, for me, the Trews was the best choice.

Later,

ps. this from Wikipedia on 'the Trews' ... Canadian rock band from Antigonish, Nova Scotia, consisting of vocalist Colin MacDonald, guitarist John-Angus MacDonald, bassist Jack Syperek, and drummer Sean Dalton. The band is currently based in Toronto, Ontario.
The band started their career with the name One I'd Trouser, before changing their name to Trouser, and eventually The Trews. They released an EP as One I'd Trouser, and a second EP under the name The Trews.

In the early summer of 2002 the band entered the CHTZ-FM Rock Search, a high profile contest that is held annually by the Southern Ontario rock radio station. Winning the contest would prove to be their big break as they soon landed a recording contract with Sony BMG Canada.

Their new album, No Time for Later, was released 19 February, 2008. The first single, "Hold Me in Your Arms" was made available on November 25, 2007 after it premiered at the 2007 Grey Cup pre-game show and was immediately released on iTunes.
