October 2006

Jnana report:

"Two Shaves and a Shine remix contest!
As most of you know, disc 2 of our 'An Awkward Pause' reissue (full details at www.jnanarecords.com) contains a track entitled 'Two Shaves and a Shine (Ingredients) Create your own track!'. We've decided to take that literally and have a contest which will allow you, the listener, to create your own version of 'Two Shaves' and submit it to us.
On or about November 1st, when the disc is released, we will post all the specifics on the Jnana Records website, but in the meantime, here is what we propose:
All completed tracks will be uploaded by you to the site at www.jnanarecords.com and passed on to Steven. After the competition is closed (December 31st, 2006), Steven will choose his favorites, with one entry being selected as the winner.
At that point, we will post the Fave 10 on the site and allow you to download both the tracks and custom artwork (designed by Steven), to make your own CD of Steven's favorites.
The winner will receive the original piece of Steven's art which was used to form the basis of the CD cover.
That's it for now. The discs are pressing as I write this with a likely arrival date being the last week of October. Allowing for possible delays and mailing time as well, it should still leave a good 4-6 weeks for you to create your masterpiece!"

We are pleased to re-release one of the most popular albums in the Nurse With Wound discography.

Most interesting for Nurse fans is the fact that one of the tracks allows the listener to take all the elements and mix their own version of 'Two Shaves and a Shine'! Absolutely essential!
