    April 26: "Live by the Rule of the Rock" DVD details

    The fourth HIT disk, "Doin' What Doozers Do", is already set for September, and appears like it be mostly the all-Cotterpin episodes, though no word yet-- But, in HIT's case, looks like it primarily seems to be an excuse to bonus-include "Doozer Music", the second song compilation to come out...
