don't really know if i should or shouldn't post this, but...

John Cobbett, the main man behind HAMMERS OF MISFORTUNE has agreed to autograph my copy of "The Bastard"--which i'm buying directly from him--as well as to try to get everyone else from the band to sign it.

just for all of the folks who really want to know how and why "The Bastard" won out over "Blackwater Park" (and for the matter My Dying Bride's "The Dreadful Hours") for best album of the year 2001 in LotFP. (it's also not a bad thing at all when the artist gets to keep all of the dough from the sale of the CD, so try to buy straight from John if you can.)

long live the Macarena,
g.

erm, the reason it won out over Blackwater Park is because it was WAY COOL, and a huge surprise out of nowhere... not because of autographing.

My copy of The Bastard has PROMO written on the cover in big black marker.

Is that CD really THAT good???? It was on my "to buy" list for a while, but.......

I heard 3 samples, and wasn't blown away. (From what I remember).

That good, eh?

i'm certainly not buying it because of the autograph(s)--that'd be bloody lame unless it *was* My Dying Bride--but because my interest is definitely piqued. sheesh. (btw, i asked John to sign the inside sleeve, not the cover, just because i really dig the artwork....)

for me, though, winning out over "The Dreadful Hours" is going to be near impossible.

ON A *VERY* LATE NOTE: i just discovered MORGION's "Solinari" released like almost 4 years ago and it's really incredible; "Among Majestic Ruin" less so, but "Solinari" is quite special. anyone heard any word about MORGION's new one?

Morgion's planning a new one!

Hell yeah.
