A Fine Frenzy - A Friend to the Planet

A heap o' good stuff today!  First, we've got a new track up on our music player today by A Fine Frenzy.  The track, entitled "Happier," is a whimsical tune that comes from their recently released sophomore album Bomb in a Birdcage.  Alison Sudol, the driving force behind A Fine Frenzy, says of the new album, “I felt like being daring; I wasn’t interested in doing more of the same, that doesn’t inspire me."  For those of you who were fans of the first album, you're definitely in store for something different.  And for those of you who haven't heard anything before? Prepare to be wowed!

But before we get to the giveaway (because I know you're all waiting for it), we've got another announcement - it's an extra special day because this new song comes alongside the launch of our ReThink campaign!  Our ReThink magazine (printed on recycled paper) features Alison speaking out about what she does day-to-day to be gentle to our planet.  She also shares her outlook on the future of the planet:

The state of our environment is really quite grim, but it's encouraging that green living has become the cool thing to do.  If the general consensus is that we must develop new plans, fostering alternative ways of living that work with the earth instead of against it, then society will put pressure on big businesses and the government to make real changes.  I am definitely optimistic.

As a celebration, we've got some really good gifts up for grabs!  You can enter to win one of SIX gift packs which contains

• the album Bomb in a Birdcage by A Fine Frenzy in CD format; comes in a special cardboard sleeve made from 30% recycled materials
