News Worst Idea Ever: The Gossip's Release Date for Music For Men
Posted by Ezra Ace Caraeff on Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 10:34 AM
Idolator has a nice post about the ridiculous major label delusion that is behind a decision to release the new Gossip album, Music For Men, on separate release dates for the UK and the States.
While tiered release dates used to be commonplace in the industry, the series of tubes known as "the internet" has made that concept quite irrelevant. That said, the Gossip's label (Columbia—Rick Rubin shall save the music industry forever and ever!) has announced that Music For Men will be out in the UK on June 22nd, and in America it will come out four months later.
So, once again, this local band will have a record out in June, but us Portlanders should really wait until its proper domestic release date in October before we obtain it. Well played, Columbia.
