Through an arrangement the coalition has with the RED distribution firm, Mould plans to release three albums between March and September on his Granary Music label. The first, "Modulate," introduces dense electronic textures to Mould's melodic rock. The second, "Long Playing Grooves," will be an all-electronic set released under the alias LoudBomb. "Body of Song" will be an intimate acoustic album. "I sort of watched the entertainment business systematically take music apart, strip away the value and meaning of it," Mould says. "I'm not getting better looking, not getting any younger. I'm not going to appeal to 10-year-olds. So I don't have a place in what remains of the traditional music business." you will be able to purchase these albums @ Bob's Granarymusic.com web-site. Liz commentary: if Liz's/Capitol's attempt at making Liz a "bankable" star doesn't exactly happen, I think joining this coalition for her would be an amazing opportunity for her. actually, it would be a much more amazing opportunity for US to get our grubby hands on her songs, whatever shape they're in. this whole waiting for 4+ years thing is ~ as much as i believe in her ~ wearing thin. could you imagine her shuttling out discs of demos every few months or so?
