now i'm p*ssed....

Nellie McKay has been dropped by Columbia Records after a dispute over her sophomore album, "Pretty Little Head," turned ugly.

from forbes

her follow up to my last year's album of the year - get away from me (coolest title ever - contrast w/the name of norah jones' debut (which i also loved)).... was my most anticipated record of recent memory...

die sony/columbia die....

to paraphrase her song clonie - she should have signed with verve instead of sony...

i might have to pick up her soundtrack to RUMOR HAS IT (download only) - just out of general principles....on the other hand, maybe not if sony gets some bucks fro it...

my only solace is i am guessing this will spark some vitriol from the lovely and talented ms. mckay

and for you sony...to quote nm

So to conclude
I'm a little of a prude
So it's difficult for me to have to allude
To all this rude crude verbal baggage
But I manage cuz I'm a savage inside
I may listen to Enya's greatest hits
And try to control my hissy fits with pride
Won't get my hair dyed
But oh the onus of lyin' all the time
I don't wanna say, "diiiie m*****f***er!"
But I wouldn't mind if you did
Sometimes even the nice girl's ego has to override the id
And so before I flip my lid my crib
And get myself out of this bind
You can hear what's on my lips but you don't know
What's in my mind

guess i'm boycotting the ps3 now...
