I sat down with Tom Harrison yesterday for the April Road Podcast and chatted about the music business before and after the Internet, his vast vinyl collection and some of his favourite bands.

Erik Rolfsen got the call yesterday from Queensland, Australia, Tourism Minister Peter Lawlor advising him he's one of the 16 finalists for the Best Job In The World contest.

You can listen to Erik discuss the contest on the April Road podcast page and we hope to have a followup interview in the next few days.
