Todd Snider Tours, Releases...Bobblehead?

Here's another piece of trinket goofiness to add to your collection of the most-awesome commemorative figurines of the summer: To celebrate the release of the singer-songwriter's latest record, The Excitement Plan, Yep Roc is offering a limited supply of Todd Snider bobbleheads! Six and a half inches tall and painted strikingly to Todd's likeness, this little guy can be yours for just $29.99.

And for entertainment that's less expensive and almost as much fun as watching your Todd Snider bobblehead, um, bob, Snider's summer tour will continue through the fall. He'll be on a solo jaunt through Oct. 11, and will kick off a "bar stool tour" with friends Robert Earl Keen and Bruce Robison on Oct. 21.
