That looks like a slightly better deal, but I don't know how legitimate it might be. The record label people are telling me to use Harry Fox...

I know Discmakers supports it, and from everything I've read, it's legitimate.

Sorry to hear about the legal paperwork issues.
Would following the compulsory-license rules amount to even worse terms?
I still look forward to hearing this...eventually.

As am I, but he's awfully sorry about it. So... at least there's that.
I really want to have this come out before or at the same time as Alpocalypse. We still need art ideas, and probably will need more cash.
Anybody interested can donate here:

Then it will be done.

- A parody of the "AL-TV" logo, with "26" replacing "AL" and "1/2" replacing "TV" (either the
full-sized logo, or the image with
those spinny aliens and the flag, though presumably the flag on the cover would be much larger)
I really like this idea. I think a lot could be done with it, like drawing Al related things around it.

If any awesome forum member has the talent and free time to draw a cover (Al-TV logo included maybe, your decision), or just a sketch of an idea, I'd love to see it.
My original idea was to have a picture of someone posing as Al, but a close-up on the chest area, with an accordion in hand. This way we aren't technically using his image... I mean, unless he has a copyright on accordions and Hawaiian shirts. I realize that this is kind of sterile idea, which is why I've been trying to get the forum involved.
