Best miserable-dancey-indie-pop guy Whitey recently announced he would be releasing two new albums this year through his myspace status... We are big fans of Whitey, the amount of effort that was put into getting his latest single "Individuals" & his first album "The Light At The End Of The Tunnel Is A Train" was sort of scary...

Whitey hasn't had the best of experiences with the internet and blogs, his second, now never to be released album "Great Shakes" was leaked by No Data, which means he hates blogs, it's fair enough as he actually lost his record deal because of it.. :-(

哀愁漂う素敵な音楽を作る Whitey が２枚の新作アルバムを今年リリースする事をマイスペース上にて発表。彼はインターネット上での不運がよく着く人で、セカンドアルバム予定だった "Great Shakes"がネット上（ No Data)に流出され、リリースにもならず、恐らく彼はその流出の原因となったブログがすごく嫌いだと思います。。そりゃぁ腹が立つのも解りますよね。この下↓に書かれてるのは No Dataからの引用です。

I can't imagine how much that sucks.

No Data have this written in their about section:
For the major labels, it's over. It's fucking over. You're going to burn to the fucking ground, and we're all going to dance around the fire. And it's your own fault. Surely, somewhere deep inside, you had to know this day was coming, right? Your very industry is founded on an unfair business model of owning art you didn't create in exchange for the services you provide. It's rigged so that you win every time - even if the artist does well, you do ten times better. It was able to exist because you controlled the distribution, but now that's back in the hands of the people, and you let the ball drop when you could have evolved.

None of this is to say that there's no way for artists to make money anymore, or even that it's the end of record labels. It's just the end of record labels as we know them.

Hmmm... anyone notice how little No Data actually posts things from "the majors"? Just a thought... :-/

DONT LEAK THE NEW ALBUMS!! I WANT TO BUY THEM!
THANKS ^_^.

っていう事で、この２つのアルバムはそうなりませんように。そろそろWhiteyが注目されてもいい加減いいと思うし、私達はかなりのファンなんで・・・皆さん、流さないようにしましょうね。
