It's a great lp but gg2g4ink (Gil Gershman) physically
breaks it? That's intelligent.
I'm sure nova mute will continue sending gg2g4ink (Gil
Gershman) promotional material after reading how well
you treat it.

GPR dropped the ball by not releasing anything new in
ages. If I submitted a release to a label and had to
wait a year for it to be released then i would consider
taking it elsewhere as well.
Besides, if you want to blame somebody shouldn't gg2g4ink
(Gil Gershman) blame Luke Slater for accepting the deal?
After all, he is the one who shopped his material to other
labels. Nova Mute just accepted what he submitted. Nova Mute
may not have even know of Slater's other obligations. Looks
like gg2g4ink (Gil Gershman) is blaming the messegner again.
I'll agree that artists have some responsibility to the
labels that sign them but the labels also have a responsibility
to release the material submitted to them in a timely fashion.
It doesn't appear that GPR did that. But, from the look of the
promos that gg2g4ink (Gil Gershman) is treating with effigy, it
looks like Nova Mute is releasing material in a timely fashion.

Too late, gg2g4ink (Gil Gershman) already did.
