Albert Hammond Jr. LP Giveaway

We've totally been bonkers for ¿Como te Llama? since Albert Hammond Jr. unleashed it upon the world last month. His latest collection of songs easily trumps last year's Yours To Keep, and maybe even, gasp, the Strokes catalog!? Either way, the record has this great retro vibe to it, and to celebrate it's awesomeness we're giving one lucky blog reader a chance to win an autographed copy of Llama on vinyl.

To enter, all you have to do is e-mail us, but note that your e-mail address will be added to Albert's mailing list. Best of luck!

Stream Albert Hammond Jr's ¿Como te Llama?

I took several years of Spanish in high school and college, so I can confirm that the name of Albert Hammond Jr.'s sophomore effort translates in English to "What's your name?" It does not translate to something close like the Destiny's Child smash "Say My Name". It also doesn't translate to "Comb the llama's hairs" just like Yo La Tengo doesn't translate to "pass the ketchup, please."

All translations aside, something easy to comprehend is that his new album, ¿Como te Llama? is out next week. The best thing is you have to wait no more to hear it, as he is streaming it from his MySpace page. So get out your pencil and paper, prepare to conjugate your verbs in to the past-perfect tense, and jam out to songs with such great titles as "Spooky Couch" and my personal favorite "Feed Me Jack, Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Peter Sellers". I hope that you can apperciate that title and its in joke that corresponds to the late great actor.

For you NYC Stranded readers, Hammond will have a free in-store performance next Tuesday at the Virgin Megastore in Union Square. Don't miss it.
