All right book club, it’s time to transition. Today we say goodbye to January’s book, Cadillac Couches by Sophie B Watson, and hello to February’s book, Too Much Trouble: A Very Oral History of Danko Jones by Stuart Berman. You can win one of five copies of this Danko Jones book right here. See below for instructions.

If I tell you that you had a winning post below, please send your name (real and blog), mailing address and winning answer/question to rock@cbc.ca with “Danko Jones is an AC/DC cover band” in the subject line.
