Slight Subject Change.
Interesting side note from Elvis Costello that I think rings very true in regards to Morrissey's (lack of) label situation:
E.C.: "I think that we're getting rapidly to the point now -- when the music business is in its death throes -- that we have to accept that artists of my age and profile won't be able to make one record every two years. We'll either not record at all, so you have to come see us play to hear the new songs -- and then you can steal them, if you want that on your conscience -- or we'll record two albums a year, the way the Who did in the Sixties, for a much more reasonable amount of money, but only expect to sell as much as jazz artists. That's where rock & roll is now, and the record companies are not set up to deal with it. They have a chart that equates to selling half a million copies on every release at the very least. And they have to get over themselves . . . Just because you're able to put a record out does not make you creative".
