Bloody mess over the Deerhunter blog

"For months now, many of us have been enjoying Deerhunter’s forthcoming album, Microcastle. Due October 28 on Kranky Records, the album was leaked nearly five months before the release date. However, it only got worse for the band and frontman Bradford Cox when unmastered versions of both his upcoming solo album and what appeared to be another album from Deerhunter were leaked accidentally by Bradford himself this past Saturday.

For those of you who unfamiliar with the Deerhunter blog, Bradford often provides free downloads of tracks and EPs from his solo project Atlas Sound. While posting a link to a new Virtual 7", Cox instead unknowingly posted a link to a page with all of his Mediafire uploads, which included unmastered versions of both a new Deerhunter album (not Microcastle) and an upcoming solo album.

After realizing the mistake, the link was fixed, but by that time, the albums were already widespread. What ensued were several angry posts directed at bloggers and forum-posters. One of the more unsettling comments made: "It’s stuff like this that made Jeff Mangum stop Neutral Milk Hotel."

Shortly afterward, Bradford put up a second, presumably more recent version of the Atlas Sound album, titled Logos, as a free download and claimed that he was abandoning that project and starting from scratch. But he soon replaced the post, removed the link, and claimed that he would resume work on the project regardless of the leak.

So what’s up with that Deerhunter album? Bradford left a comment on one of the posts claiming that it was a surprise LP titled Weird Era Cont. to be released with Microcastle as a double LP. The title can also be seen on newer versions of the Microcastle artwork."

I dont have much of a comment on this fiasco. But I will say CRYPTOGRAMS was one of my favorite records last year. And LET THE BLIND is one of my favorites of this year so far.

Oh well, they aren't that good anyway. Microcastles is awful.

Microcastles had to grow on me a bit. I finally like it, but don't love it just yet.
I haven't heard any of the Weird Era stuff yet, though I did download it.

I did not download Microcastle, and I won't download Weird Era either. I think I'm gonna buy them when they'll come out

nover post on the net UTI.

Havent' heard MICROCASTLES. But I do really like Deerhunter/Atlas Sound. Though admittedly, all of their albums are "growers."

Their singer seems like an idiot in every interview I've read with him.

I read some interview where he's like "People come to our shows and don't like the way I look well FUCK YOU I'm better than you!" and all this shit, probably while wearing a dress and trying to look confrontational. Just seems like a dick and not in a good way. Then, they posted some blog with pictures of their shit and stuff like that. Just a stupid band. They have some decent delay-pedal driven songs but they're nothing special at all.

I still think Bradford is a great dude. Admiteddly he was having rough times last year so that's why he was so sucky in the interviews (he even insulted Samara Lubelski, but finally took it back). But he offers so much things to people via his blog, it seems kinda wrong to take his work when he doesn't want to. Seems like the folks at ateaseweb who spread the links all over the interwebz don't think like me though...

Oups, I thought you were talking about my account on the Emo corner forum.
How self-obsessed I am !!!
