I would have thought that that would have happened right after turning in the masters for SaturnzReturn.

Had the label been able to gain Trent's cooperation, I bet NIN would be resigned. Not so much a dropped artist, then.

The CD is a Walmart exclusive, downloads are available online everywhere. His music video "Witness" was #1 on VH1 Top 20 Countdown for three weeks, and he's putting together a tour now. So Bo is a Freebird, doing alright for himself!!

Liz- dear Liz- is doing the score for Swingtown and working on record #6. I hope she gets picked up soon.

It's more just "Artists who are no longer with their former labels" right? Moby & Warhols, for example, were they booted or are they just looking for new contracts? Cause even if their actual sales are disappointing those licensing fees have got to be pretty lucrative, no?

At least in three years she'll probably wind up putting out something good on Dap-Tone.

The casualties of the EMI/Capitol/Virgin shakeups alone would probably be a longer list, but probably most of the acts dropped, as with most of the acts signed in the first place, are people you never heard of and never got to release an album.

Mutual or not, it's sad to watch them having so much trouble and weak sales. They're fantastic.

I am pretty certain they have their own record label now (Re-Up Records) that has a major label distribution deal with someone, though I don't know who.

Hell Hath No Fury was a great, GREAT album.

They have since signed with Roadrunner.
