'Gum Drop Giveaway #42

You get a pair of vintage-inspired MOSCOT Lemtosh sunglasses. Cee-Lo wore a pair of MOSCOT's when Gnarls Barkley performed on SNL a few weeks back. This is what they look like sans Cee-Lo:

Find out more about MOSCOT at their official site. The company's been around since 1915.

British trio Young Knives are younger than that, but there's a copy of their new second album Superabundance in it for the winner. The collection's out now on Transgressive in the UK and Rykodisc in the US. Notice that the Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire-born, Oxford-based "geek rock" band, consisting of the colorfully named Henry Dartnall, the House Of Lords and Oliver Askew, wear MOSCOT-esque glasses. Or two thirds of them do.

One winner gets the sunglasses and the geek rock. Find out more about Young Knives at their MySpace.
