Ol' Nard just sent us an email about a split between his band, The Evaporators, and makes-our-intern-all-gooey Andrew-W.K. They announced the "7 at last Friday's Mint Records Christmas party (here's what it looked like if you missed it) and it'll be available soon after the new year. A Wild Pear (that's what it's called, har har) is set to include covers of the Subhumans' "Oh Canaduh" and the Leather Uppers' "Don't Sell Hot Dogs Tonight." Andrew W.K said the collaboration was a "dream come true", and dedicated it to Nardwuar, Canada and his wife. Awwww, that guy is a class act. Anyways, we're thinking this will be good as one of those gifts you give to someone you didn't think you had to give a gift to and then realized you had to, and you can be all, "No, I didn't forget, is that what you thought?! I was just waiting for this to come out." Look for it here sometime in '09.
