Help. Hjelp.
11 October 2005
I need your help. Back in high school I had some friends who lived in Norway. They introduced me to a band called Born Monster. I had some mix tapes with a few Born Monster songs on them that I nearly wore out. I always intended to buy the CD, but for whatever reason I never got around to it (I probably spent my money on some other CD that wasn’t really worth it). Well it looks like I waited entirely too long because I can’t find any reference to the band anywhere on the Internet. I know years ago I had found at least one Born Monster CD at CDNow, but it’s been a long time since Amazon swallowed them whole. Now, at least according to Google, the band doesn’t exist.
So here’s where I need your help. If you’ve ever heard of a Norwegian band called Born Monster email me so I’m know I’m not going crazy. Of course what would be really great is if you know where I might be able to find a copy of their album(s). You’d probably be my hero for at least a month or so if you could make that happen.
Update
Mertz is my hero for the next couple of months. First for helping me find the Born Monster album, Nipple. Second because he got me some tickets to the greatest reunion concert ever, Hum. That’s right, you can all be jealous of how much great ’90s music I’ll be enjoying over the next few weeks.
And in case you’re wondering, I found the album at GEMM. According to Mertz, if it isn’t on GEMM it probably doesn’t exist.
Update 2: The Big Let Down
Turns out that GEMM wasn’t able to find a copy of Born Monster’s Nipple. So if anyone out there has another lead please let me know.
