We promised we would do it, so here goes:
In our recent RATM / Fresh Prince mash-up cover version thingy, we included lyrics and riffs from 10 different songs. If you haven't heard the track, check out our blog and stream it. We'll have a video up on youtube very soon too.
If you can name all 10 of the songs we have written on our special bit of YAK PAPER, then you will win the following:
A YAK T-Shirt
A YAK Hoodie
The YAK Back catalogue (including 7", CD EP, the album and the Tour-only Remix CD!)
Special stuff from the YAK studio
Once you've got your 10 track selections, email them to us at tentracks@youalreadyknow.net and on the 1st of June we will pick a winner at random from the correct entries (or whoever get's the closes guess)
Be sure to include your name, T-shirt/Hoodie size with your entry. Don't ask why, just do it.
Good luck!

Record Store Day Recap
Thanks to everyone that came along to Avalanche Records in Glasgow on Saturday for our first show of the year in the intimate surroundings of a shop floor! The Covers CD is now sold out, so if you missed out, you're gonna have to work extra hard on that time machine you've been meaning to build.
By all accounts Record Store Day was a tremendous success worldwide, and we are very proud to have been a part of it. Thanks to the folks that came along to support us on the day, it was fantastic to be back in action.
Work will now commence on getting album #2 finished, and we'll be booking a veritable shiteload of shows for the coming months.

1. Testify / Fresh Prince Rap (aka Test The Pie) [RATM/Will Smith]
2. Psycho Killer [Talking Heads]
3. Bury White [Far]
4. My Weakness Is None Of Your Business [Embrace]
Pretty fucked up tracklist for sure, and you really have no idea just how screwy this whole thing is. The first track, lovingly titled "Test The Pie" features 10 covers in one. The first person to name all 10 tracks referenced in it will win a YAK t-shirt! Now, don't worry if you can't get to Glasgow to buy a CD on the 17th, the track will feature in a YAKtv episode soon, at which point the competition will officially begin. Stay tuned for more info, and potentially some track previews.
