Release activity... Carolyn Wonderland has wormed her way out of a do-nothing contract with the Vermont-based Big Mo Records and into a new five-release deal with the Justice label. To pull this off, Justice had to buy the masters for last year's Big Mo debut, Play with Matches, which the label plans to re-release at some point. Meanwhile, Wonderland and the Imperial Monkeys are currently in Austin recording tunes for her first Justice effort (no title yet). The 12-song collection is rumored to move the band even further in a rock direction. Look for its release in mid-March, just before Wonderland's South by Southwest showcase.... Bocktoberfest Music Festival There's not a hotel room to be had in all of Lavaca County tonight, 'cause this Saturday, 15,000 lovers of Texas music are expected to deluge Shiner as the Spoetzl Brewery hosts this city's second annual music fest. The Hollisters and Carolyn Wonderland and the Imperial Monkeys, Houston's contribution to the aural extravaganza, will kick-start the show about the time you're trying to digest your lunch; silken-haired Ian Moore, the Fabulous Thunderbirds and hot, hot Robert Earl Keen are the headliners. Rent a Winnabego or shanghai a designated driver and make a day trip of it to experience what may well be the only nightlife the 2,000 or so townsfolk here will see all year. And be sure, the beer -- Shiner products, of course -- will flow as freely as the music. 110:30 p.m. Spoetzl Brewery, Highway 95 in Shiner. For info, call (800) 5-SHINER. $20,orvisittheShinerWebsite ( http://www.Shiner.com) to win free tickets.
