Exactly!
I'm so thrilled with the Bonerama collab - I can hang on
I never get tired of their last albums, and I've been playing them constantly for 3 or 4 years. Almost to the exclusion of any other music.
That's something I haven't done since I was 11 and discovered the Beatles.
"Pedro and I had been writing the follow up for our self titled record for some time, we wrote about 2 and a half records worth of songs, when we finally had enough that we deemed worthy of a sophmore effort. Right as we were getting ready to go into record there was a major merger between Capitol Records and Virgin Records, and pretty much everyone at Capitol was fired and most of the bands were dropped.
To our delight, the powers that be wanted us to stay, but as the major labels have been struggling to stay alive they needed all bands to sign new record deals, ones which were only vaguely reminiscent of the original, and so for the past 6 months we have been trying to work it out, legally unable to release any music until it was finished."
Since OK Go is/was also with Capitol, has anyone heard about it affecting the 3rd album?
I don't think they'll be dropped, but maybe this is one of the factors as to why the album's taking so long?
There's a good bet that if Morningwood has been spending the past several months negotiating their contract, OK Go probably has been, too. If OK Go was dropped from the label, I'm pretty sure we would have heard about it in the past year and a half or so. It's possible that negotiations are on-going, so never say never, but, like I said, this happened in January of last year, so...
If Morningwood hasn't legally been able to release new music, there's a good chance that this has delayed OK Go's record as well. But considering the extreme amount of touring they were doing last year plus side projects and time taken for R&R, I'm willing to bet that it has more to do with what they've been doing than with contracts. If they haven't written the record yet (and they haven't, as far as well know), Capitol couldn't stop it from being released to begin with, right? I could be wrong of course.
And dude, if they're keeping Morningwood, they're not dropping OK Go. Come on.
Edit: 4,000TH POST ZOMG. I remember when that was a big deal.
OK Go is no longer listed as a Capitol Artist on the street team page. (Morningwood is.)
However, I tend to think that OK Go CHOSE to go in another direction and left Capitol, rather than think they were dropped.
Ooh, conundrum.
OK Go is no longer listed as a Capitol Artist on the street team page. (Morningwood is.)
But they're still listed on the Capitol Records page, which I think means more than being on the street team page.
Also, I'm pretty sure the Boards and the site, etc., are hosted by Capitol because every time they go down for maintenance, the error message you get is from Capitol, isn't it?
I know I'm waaaay late with this, but Cheli told me that they just didn't want to use the Capitol Street Team anymore, so that's why they're not on there.
I just hope that the new record comes out soon and that capitol keeps them...
Ahhh, that explains it! Thanks - Cheli hadn't told me yet.
Then again, they could also be on vacation right now, which they really deserve.
and so the waiting continues.......
