no no, we did not sign anything at all as of yet. a good friend of ours who works as a lawyer is backing us up, and we're very aware of the dangers of signing such things. mind you guys, that this was not a single record label getting to us to propose this whole deal... this actually seems to be the way things happen in the biz nowadays.
we too feel very happy for the recognition, and the label reps have been very enthusiastic about our stuff... but man, you know what? these days a few things started hitting me in the face all together:
1 - the problem with music (s. albini)
http://negativland.com/albini.html
2 - interview with david lynch

3 - interview with trent rezonr (
and i am not a fan of the guy at all)
4 - several john carpenter and george a. romero interviews on the studio system and the digital era of doing things...
all i have to say is - we get to sign a deal, and record the thing having to pay ALL OF THAT STUFF... and what do we get? an overpriced cd in stores that no one will give a fuck any way? i say, we get the music out there as we are doing already, and if someone cares enough to listen they'll eventually ask us a cd or something...
it certainly is frustrating seeing our cd getting reviewed on zines after all teh fancy signed bands that are up and down, but what the fuck: the way we want things done - that is our priority.
