Post subject:  "Grain of Salt" New Album Details Discredited
I hate reading stuff and not knowing whether any of it is true or not, so today after reading the latest reply here from MixerMike/ Michael Bean
http://www.bandlink.net/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=42527

I decided to find out for myself. I went on the Cooking Vinyl site and emailed them with that link to find out once and for all if it was genuine or not.

Here's the email I received back.

Quote:

I'm David, i work at Cooking Vinyl (not Cooked Vinyl!!). This person whoever he is does not and never has worked here. None of the information he has given is correct. No-one here has listened to the album yet, although obviously we are all looking forward to the day when we can here it!

He says further down in the thread that he has been real busy working with the Violent Femmes, which is strange, Violent Femmes are no longer signed to us and have not been for quite some time. He also says Liam has been having promotional meetings with the co-owner of Cooking Vinyl, but Cooking Vinyl is owned by one person!!!!

Please don't listen to this guy whoever he is, he knows nothing.
Regards,
David


Direct from Cooking Vinyl.
So for me Michael Bean is talking bollocks and we're still left waiting for the new material to come out....




(Cue all the conspiracy people: "there just saying that to throw us off the scent" :roll: )

hmm, im still not sure who to believe.
if this david has a zipped mouth, he cant tell us things
regarding the new album wether its fake or not.
just like liam, he claims the album to debute 2008, but is he telling
the truth? seems rather odd to me that he suddenly after so long with silence just pops up with an accurate release time for the album.

but thats just me.. always sceptic :P

Ill be surprised if it gets out in 2008....now liam doesnt have record execs on his ass about releasing an ablum...hes all on his own as far as that goes.

I think Liam's gonna spend the later half of 2007 test driving the tunes live cause he mentioned that's what he should have done with AONO... and then we wont have another half assed record on our hand s :) but we'll have to wait until 2008 for that... :(

that's so weird though, it seemed like that david guy was angry in that email, as if he was trying to cover up something :lol:
maybe they are pissed off with what happened and are trying to cover it up?

i dont know who to believe anymore

If someone was spreading bullshit and pretended to be working in my company then i would be pissed off too. MixingMike is just some dude from somewhere on the prodigy forums trying to fool you people around.

soz. but i just cant really accept the fact that someone would go trough
so much trouble, fabricate and twist information about the new album, when there is nothing to gain but misunderstanding.

there are utterly also factors which really makes me
believe that this "Michael Been" isnt totallt fictional.

for example, why does liam suddenly approach in a brand new mini-interview where he promotes the album as 2008 material?
did our little friend Been shake something up?

and the mail from cooking vinyl, it doesnt really uhm..
cleanse my doubts.

im really sceptic about everything, but i dont think Mr Been is
fooling people

Why not. He doesn't need to answer anything straight away. Just let it run and see what people reply with. Plus he may actually not have net access everyday anyhow.

As for someone taking the time to do something like this..again, why not. Have you never wound anyone up for a laugh on the forums?

As I said at the end of the initial post....cue all the conspiracy people :arrow:

This is the INTERnet. Every moron on earth is here, and i do see the humor in making naive prodigy fans belive that the moon is made out of green cheese. Everytime the smallest and most doubtful rumors surface in here, people acts like retards and go nuts "WOW AWESOME! IS THIS REALLY TRUE!? IM GONNA TELL ALL MY MATES". Its actualy quite hilarious.

He agreed to make that mini-interview because he was asked to. Talks with one of their managers had been going on before this bean-man came along. Liam or anyone else dont just make up a bunch of questions and answers, and send them to a random fansite or magazine everytime they have something they want to tell.
I dont think liam even know about this whole bean shit, and if he wanted to comment on it he would probably write it on the official website.

we'll see when the time comes and the album gets out.
i actually like having something to be looking forward to,
once the album gets out that eagerness and excitement is gone.
we still dont know the outcome, so ill keep my eyes open and
wait with patience :roll: [ill TRY] =P
