This is the last post concerning this, I swear: Bryce Isbell has posted a video on Youtube where he appears explaining the band's side of the story on all this. I won't comment, I'll just let you judge for yourselves. Not sure why he chose this format, but to each his own.

stick to the HUH board / skylinenetwork ryan! j/k. come see us with Riddle of Steel sept. 10th at the Pro.

get crushed, co-pilot

YUSSS! head asplode.

you're not supposed to talk about that

plus everyone on staff.. have been everywhere but the states..

i mean now that Murdoch has bought us.. we got money out of our eaaarrrsss...

Guy who keeps bringing up Austin festival that's three months away-
OK, we get it. Which band are you in?

that was sarcasm

the ironic thing is that the guy in this video probably has similar difficulty trying to convince people that he once had a record deal worth millions.

BTW, it was SR's admin who dropped the ball on the whole source-checking thing. SR was adamant about scheduling a conference call with EMI, but to be honest all of our assistants have just been up to their ears in paperwork lately, mostly due to the WeShot awards. They've also been needed to pitch in and help out the accounts receivable group lately since WeShot's revenue has really gone thru the roof this summer. So cut them some slack.

And keep it up team!

Remember...it's no tie Friday tomorrow!

Wow- the bill on the Fun Fun Fun Fest looks great.

Well, no. So good point.

Do you do anything?

DO PEOPLE JUST NOT DO ANY LEGWORK AT ALL ANYMORE?

gracious so far.

this is a blog... not the Washington Post.

One last thought for this last here post:

SR really was GLAD he didn't check with label contacts before posting about the contract?

I'd, uh, think he'd be more embarassed about reporting (and commenting extensively) about something that wasn't true than making a phone call or two to some label guys who answer these questions for a living and hearing a confused "no."

Is the first more embarassing than the latter? I'd say so, especially if ya want your blog to delve into (believable) "big breaking news". Wonder what kinda press WSJR'll get from all this.

Thanks a lot, Defensive Listening. You yelled at Aaron White so he broke up Current Leaves.

keep anon's the most critical force in the music world

oh, no one told you? it's all a contest. all of it.
ok maybe it's not a contest but it was a great opprotunity to state for everyone that "spune sucks balls" theyz from abilene and that shit is wack.

God, I almost forgot it was a contest!

street cred? give me a break. I stand by the story as written: they only thing that was incorrect about it was what we attributed to the band itself. The rest was either completely factual, a reacion to the band's music, or a reaction to my interviews with them.

And if you don't like it, then quit reading. you won't be missed.

Not sure about why you guys are being associated with the "indie" jew kids, but you guys lost some of your street cred with that bullshit story.

why does the weshotjr staff always get associated with the 'indie' jew kids.. we're honestly not jewish.. i mean just because we are setup in a kabutz style.. and we are kosher.. and we go to sinagog we are not jewish!

p.s. back to controlling the media..

Haha.. today's top story over at tiny mix tapes - http://www.tinymixtapes.com/

rolled!

there was never really any talk of a 6mil contract. it was all just an elaborate rick roll.

god damn it.

i mean gosh gosh gosh

the bryce isbell who has left the above comments is NOT the real bryce isbell.

Well played, sir. Comic relief. Thanks for trying to diffuse the tension.

This video explains it all. Sorry for the confusion, let's end this.

Here is the proper link that the video that the person above me has referenced to:

Jews were behind the attacks on 9/11. How else can you explain 1,000 jews being absent from work that day?

Oh you got me!
