Title: Label drops Nellie McKay Post by: Boxer Monkey on January 08, 2006, 08:15:21 PM http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Music/01/04/music.nellie.mckay.ap/index.html
I don't think I saw this posted anywhere else around here, even though it's a couple of days old. I know she's a little nuts and occasionally too NPR precious, but I like some of her stuff anyway. "All that matters to me is that I can continue to make irritating music which will baffle and enrage" -- that's great. Title: Re: Label drops Nellie McKay Post by: Old Rake on January 08, 2006, 08:54:15 PM She's terrific, like a young, hip-hop-obsessed, female Van Dyke Parks in a way. In a lot of ways, actually. I don't think Sony had ANY IDEA what to do with her. Hopefully another label will better know how to market her music.
Title: Re: Label drops Nellie McKay Post by: no on January 08, 2006, 09:02:47 PM I've heard most of the new recordings and the new tunes are, for me, a tremendous let down. It sounds like 'Get Away From Me' several months beyond it's expiration date. A wicked sophomore slump.
I kinda wish she'd just scrap the whole thing and find a new label and new tunes. Sorry for the thread hijacking, Boxer. Title: Re: Label drops Nellie McKay Post by: Boxer Monkey on January 08, 2006, 09:20:22 PM What hijacking?
I guess if the new tunes blow, she's really in trouble. Her reputation as a meltdown queen is enough to sink her already. |
