@nickmoberly @Schwwatzy @historiannick Surely a tenth of what he deserved!

@nickmoberly @Schwwatzy @historiannick He seems like quite a cool guy. A friend of mine got him to design a 'Life's Too Short For Black Metal' logo at a festival ("I will draw your logo for €20" stall type thing), which for a while you could buy printed on a shower curtain.

@nickmoberly @Schwwatzy @historiannick It was quite an odd evening with Satyr and Frost in the family pizza restaurant, I have to say. They were gracious interviewees though, especially given that I was quite terrified. Piece ran with a huge printing glitch making half of it unreadable though.

However, 2010 is the start of a rapid decline in my level of hipness to the latest beat combos (though, in fairness, 2011 sees a huge spike in detailed nappy knowledge).

@nickmoberly @Schwwatzy @historiannick Depressingly less and less the case, but still on top of the Madders at least. OENH is a great record but I wouldn't personally point to it as an entry point.

'Mercury' is a perfectly fine starting point if you bear in mind it was recorded in '99 on a budget of sixpence ha'penny and a packet of ready salted crisps. 'Eight ways' also good, 'Desiderata' and 'Marrow' also personal highlights.

Of course if Mr Tovey were still here he would be enthusiastically promoting 2000s Amorphis.
