Thanks, But ...
First of all, I want to thank you for your review of Nada Surf ’s new album in the February issue. I was in a drum store buying some last-minute stuff for the tour that starts in two days, and as the salesman went through the magazine looking for a particular page I spotted the photo of the band and said, “Hey that guy looks pretty familiar.” It was just a perfect moment where the dude was looking back and forth between me and the magazine. Priceless. So thanks for that. One small detail, though: My name is Ira Elliot, but somehow the bass player’s and my name were combined into Daniel Ira, which – while sounding vaguely like Daniel Lanois – is still frustratingly incorrect. Grrrr. But all in all, thank you very much. Daniel Ira ... er Elliot Ira ... er ... Ira Elliot Via email
Missing Trading Cards
I just got my April 2008 issue in the mail, and it doesnt have any trading cards in it! Now, I don’t know whether they just happened to be missing from my subscriber issue or if you have discontinued them altogether. I’m bummed out either way, because I’ve become totally addicted to collecting them every month. Joseph Rogers Portland, ME EDITOR’S REPLY Good news. We had a glitch last month with the printer who normally prints our trading cards and had to forgo putting them into the April issue. As you can see, they are back in their rightful place. Go back to collecting.
CORRECTIONS I’m not sure what we were smoking when we proofread the “Extreme Metal Roundtable” feature in the April 2008 issue. For one thing, we completely massacred the cymbal setup in Chris Adler’s drum set diagram (check out his actual setup at meinlcymbals.com/artists.html). And then we bollocksed up Justin Foley’s discography. Sorry guys. Gol durn it.
