SAMANTHA FOX TOPLESS PIC DISC....!

 

[Angrafan]

I have a few things, nothing too special...

The rarest would probably be Angra's Make Believe Single....

I do have a very nice The Gathering collection.. nothing TOO rare, but the collection itself is nice.. I got all but one of their singles, some promo stuff, LPs, different versions of all their albuns... Nothing too expensive.. I refuse to pay too much money for something just because it's rare... I've seen the one single I still need on e-bay but as soon as the bids reach 30 bucks I am done... not paying 40 bucks for a single just for a "complete collection"...

A one-of-a-kind piece, from a band that's made quite a stir underground-- the song-mapping board to Woods of Ypres' "Pursuit of the Sun, Allure of the Earth"-- it's about 3 feet x 4 feet and the dry-erase is pretty much permanent now...

Wow, that's pretty fucking cool. Woods of Ypres are a great band.

I completely forgot, I also have the wooden box with Agalloch's name carved in to the top they sent out with some of the Ashes pre-orders in 2006.

Damn, that's awesome. How'd you manage to get that?

Ahh, yeah, forgot about that one-- I also have the double-vinyl wooden box set of "Pale Folklore" that was limited to 60 copies and sold at their Day of the Equinox performance in Toronto in 2005:

The band was moving practice spots or something and I'd been collecting their stuff for a while so it was offered to me via email.

I've been amassing stuff of theirs over the last few years:

[Palabra de Dios]

I did get to see Saturnus at Chicago Powerfest...they were the band that convinced Justin (Mosquito) and I to make the trip up last year. Got to meet the whole band based on a very chance encounter with Peter, their guitar player...I was wearing an Agalloch shirt, he knew Agalloch from their European tour, we talked for an hour or so, and we ended up hanging out with Saturnus for pretty much the rest of the festival. Then Justin and I got our CD booklets and a drumhead signed by all in the band.

Justin has the cooler story, though, as he caught up with the Saturnus guys in their home country of Denmark, watched them rehearse, drank beers, and then saw a headlining show with them. So he's got me there (plus apparently he's getting their goddamn demo tape from Claus)...but fucking cool to meet one of the best death/doom bands ever for sure.

[Dead Children Speak No Lies]

A copy of Carcass's Heartwork signed by the entire band.

I have a copy of Pearl Jam's "Ten", signed by the entire band. They were promoting the release of the debut CD. They played three acoustic songs and then signed discs at a local mall. Maybe 100 people showed up. I went to check it out, because I was a huge Mother Love Bone fan. I was blown away by the acoustic songs they played, so I bought the disc. Ironically, I wasn't at all interested in getting the CD signed (I think this is the only autograph I have). I just wanted to ask Stone and Jeff if they had anything else recorded with Andrew that would eventually be released.
