UPDATE!

Quote

Earlier this year, contributors to The Best Show on WFMU were promised Rated GG, a compilation of "cleaned-up" cover songs. "It's a way to diffuse the deification," Scharpling explains. "He wasn't a messiah. He was a troubled guy who acted like a complete dirtbag and did time in jail for his actions. The notion of neutering his message made perfect sense. But the songs really hold up!" After some delays, Rated GG is due in December with contributions from the likes of Ben Gibbard, Ted Leo, the Mountain Goats and Fucked Up. Scharpling is keeping mum on details, but he does promise "a strummy doo-wop tinged acoustic number that will be the song of the summer."

sounds kind of MGs/Anonymous 4-ish to me.

I am so incredibly eager to hear what this entire comp. will sound like.

so i got an e-mail from WFMU today saying they missed me because I have donated in the past but haven't recently. Is it poor form for me to write back and say, hey maybe i'd donate again if you sent me my GG Allin comp?

and on that point, has everybody but me received their comp yet?

I'll reiterate what I've said in the past: the Best Show premium (incl. the Rated GG 7" ) is not done and therefore has not been sent to anybody. The previous year's Best Show premium took more than a year to put together and ship out, so I'd expect that you'd have it some time this summer or fall. Not saying that you knew that when you signed on board, or that it's cool, but just so everybody's aware that nobody has this and why.

Update as of February 12:

Quote
Tom Scharpling
It should get mailed out hopefully in the next 4-6 weeks. Everything is manufactured except the single, which has been mastered and is off to the pressing plant early next week.

Again, I appreciate everyone's patience on this - I have worked on this thing for a full year and it is finally going to be done. And the wait is SO going to be worth it, seriously. It's so great and I'm so proud of it.

Thanks!

Tom.

Here's an update (as of this evening) on this premium, for those of you pledged (good news!):

Quote
Tom Scharpling
The 2011 Premium is pretty much done. The singles are pressed and are being assembled. The download code was just digitized. The posters are done. The shirts are done. The buttons are done. They will be put together and mailed out to everybody who pledged in the next few weeks, I would think. Thank you for your patience with it - a couple of the tracks for the single took longer to be finished. But trust me - it's going to be worth the wait!

Yeah; it seems like just yesterday that he passed on after that last performance at that opera house. At least he was relaxing in the home of friends when it happened.


do I have to hit you over the head with it?

Got my copy in the mail a few minutes ago. Just spun it for the first time. It is, unsurprisingly, wonderful.

Joe M (whose email ccsparks posted earlier in the thread) informed me that, had you missed out on the 2011, Rated G.G. package, it is still possible to get said premium. Go to the "Donate Now" button on the WFMU site, select the DJ premium pledge, select Tom's premium, and, in the note section of the checkout, simply write that you would prefer the 2011 premium instead of the 2012 one. Not sure how many of the records they have left, though.

Have others received this yet?

A great 7", packed with good stuff from F'ed Up, T Leo, Ben Gibbard, Ty Segall in addition to the awesome Plead Me To A Lesser Charge (the title sounds like a offcut from We Shall All Be Healed) from tMG featuring The Legal Junkies (Jon 'Merle' Wurster and Mac 'I Forget His GG Allin name' Merge).

This and the Jawbreaker cover make me think - are we due a punk tMG record?

Good Guys Win.
