fake golds! brand new. heavens.
i hate fake golds.
no, not what paul wall has in his fucking mouth all the time.
it's what douche bag record execs do in between figuring out how to write off an 8-ball in the "digital age" and sucking off whatever shitty band they just signed.
just got the press release for the red jumpsuit apparatus being certified gold.
"NEW YORK – Virgin Records rock quintet THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS’ debut album DON’T YOU FAKE IT has been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for U.S. sales exceeding a half-million copies, the label announced today."
i hate this so much. RJA has sold 251,279. im sure tramposch and flom needed another plaque on their wall before christmas, so they rushed it through. c'mon guys. just because it will be gold in another 5 months, does not mean it is gold now. (they are selling about 15K a week.)
come to think of it, virgin did this shit last year too. kt tunstall was "certified gold" when she barely broke 200K. stop cheating!
brand new's record just came out and sold around 70K first week. after the "rock drop" next week, it will sell another 25K or so. then down to about 5K. then down to nothing. love the band....but hope you guys had fun being on a major label. my guess? they break up, jesse starts a "dance rock" band, tours with young love and head automatica and puts out a record on IDJ.
oh! speaking of "dance rock," what the hell is skiba doing?! hey bro, no one wants a record of alkaline trio demos with a casio beat behind it. i know every punk rocker thinks they are edgy by using a drum machine, but 4 years ago called and they want their shitty idea back. matty, if you are gonna do this, at least hire a real producer to make some cool sounding shit. (ala postal service.) if i see one more asshat talking about how great the heavens record is, i might just shat the bed and lay there in it.
finally...i just imaged searched the term "skiba" and for some reason, this pic was on the 3rd page, so i am going with it. where did my girl go????
