newt (10:29:35): http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/50540-beck-signs-to-xl-recordings-in-the-uk
bebo (10:32:58): sounds dumb
bebo (10:33:05): i’m supposed to care?
newt (10:33:06): heh
newt (10:33:23): i think it’s interesting that he’s branching out to another label. i think his interscope contract is done
bebo (10:33:33): i don’t think it means that at all
bebo (10:33:45): he just needs a new distributor for the UK
newt (10:34:13): no i mean i think he had an agreement to do a certain number of albums with interscope, and i think that’s been completed. i’m not saying i think he’ll leave them
newt (10:34:26): but maybe he’s curious and now experimenting with dating other labels
bebo (10:37:53): but
bebo (10:38:06): was that not an agreement for distribution only?
bebo (10:38:14): and how do we know he’s almost donw with interscope?
bebo (10:38:19): where did you get that info
newt (10:38:52): i don’t know if it’s for distribution only, but xl is a label, right? not just a distribution company?
newt (10:39:15): and about the interscope thing, i kinda remember people talking after info came out, saying that was the last album he was committed to doing for them
newt (10:39:21): and if he wanted he could leave after that
newt (10:39:29): but i’d have to look it up, i don’t actually know for sure
