The signs have been there for a while, as far as i am concerned.
Ever since I read that interview with Kim Gordon on the NME over a year ago where she explains that the introduction of Daydream Nation into the Library of Congress meant much more to her than anything else they had achieved, I have been thinking about the way that they operate now as a band, and how it must feel for them to be in a position where they are regarded as an influential band, but somehow still a cult band.
It would be an enormous shame if they don't get the sort of super-mainstream treatment that is a necessary malaise in order to make the man and woman on the street at least aware of who they are.
Going back to an indie label would be a shame and nonsense, at this stage in their career.
