Thanks to Universal Music Australia and EMI, we are giving away a copy of the album on JB Hi-Fi Australia Exclusive Milky Clear Vinyl.

A Happy Birthday to JOHN KRASINSKI

Who turns 44 on October 20 The Boston-born actor rose to

fame in the American version of The Office (premiering in 2004), then appeared in movies Licence to Wed (2007), Leatherheads (2008) and It’s Complicated (2009) before proving himself an unlikely tough guy in Michael Bay’s 13 Hours (2016). That impressive starring role led to being cast in the lead of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan TV series. Krasinski has also become a bankable filmmaker, having written and directed two A Quiet Place films, in which he starred alongside his English wife, Emily Blunt. Trivia: At age 21, Krasinski was a script intern for The Late Show with Conan O’Brien .
