"IT’S ALWAYS CHRISTMAS TIME" AL JOURGENSEN / MGT EXCLUSIVE WORLD DEBUT ON THE MANCOW SHOW Broadcast scheduled for November 6, 2009 at 8:35 AM CST "It’s Always Christmas Time” -a collaborative carol from Al Jourgensen (Ministry, RevCo) and Mark Gemini Thwaite (The Mission UK, Peter Murphy, Mob Research) -will have its Exclusive World Debut on The Mancow Show (USA) on November 6, 2009. www.mancow.com Scheduled for broadcast at 8:35 AM CST, the track was originally streamed via the official Ministry MySpace page as a memorial to friend and band mate Paul Raven (Ministry, Killing Joke, Mob Research) on the two-year anniversary of his passing in 2007. Through their friendship with Raven, both Jourgensen and Thwaite met and began working on this project together. The first fruit of their labors, “It’s Always Christmas Time,” is a tribute to the life and work of Paul Raven, and received in excess of 5000 plays during its 24- hour stream on MySpace. Of the collaboration with Jourgensen, guitarist MarkGT offers, "Recently, Al invited me to the 13th Planet compound to record guitars on some of the new RevCo material Al’s producing. He then invited me to collaborate on his first ever 'solo' project, which is surprisingly radio friendly. It feels like home for me as Raven was a close mutual friend of ours - and we both feel his spirit smiling down on our union!" Jourgensen joins Mancow live during the premiere of “It’s Always Christmas Time,” taking calls during the live broadcast and adding his irascible charm to the hit radio show. . A Special Limited Edition hand-numbered and autographed cd of “It’s Always Christmas Time” will be available exclusively through the 13th Planet web-store, http://thirteenthplanetstore.com with a digital version will be available for download the week of November 15th.
