Giving Away New Cars Again

The new album from the resurrected New Cars - appropriately entitled It's Alive! - actually consists mostly of old material by the old Cars, performed live by the new line-up. But Rundgren and company perform the old favorites quite well, and add to them three brand new tracks: "Warm," "More," and "Not Tonight." All three of the new songs appear in studio versions, with "Not Tonight" also showing up amongst the live performances. It's easy to see why "Not Tonight" has been singled out for a double appearance on the CD, and why it's been chosen as the single; it's definitely the best of the new tracks, and if it weren't for the different voice singing the lyrics, and for the fact that those lyrics include decidedly post-'80s phrases like "put me in your Blackberry" and "I'll take your e-mail," you could easily mistake it for one of the many great, classic Cars radio hits. It's a fantastic song, and one of the best indicators on the disc that this New Cars is indeed alive and here to rock us.

And hey, we've still got more copies of this cool CD to give away, as well as some tickets to the New Cars next show in Atlantic City, so step right up, folks! This time there will be three winners. The least lucky of these will receive only an autographed copy of the CD (which is still pretty lucky in our book), while the other two will get the CD as well as be placed on the guest list, +1, for the Saturday, November 18th New Cars show at the Borgata Event Center. Sound good? Then sign up below, and good luck to you! Just make sure to do it before the end of the day on Friday, November 17th, because that's when this giveaway ends.
