So it’s looking like The Cool Kids are going back to Mountain Dew’s label, Green Label, to distribute their long awaited When Fish Ride Bicycles LP.  I just thought this quote Billboard got from Chuck Inglish was pretty powerful.  Remember that label’s bottom lines are f*cked and we live in an era where it is more important for an artist to sell a tangible product as opposed to the music itself.

  • Labels suck, What can they do that Pepsi can’t do? We had a good experience with Green Label Sound-we got more from that single than we got from our previous album. I was tired of the album sitting around and wanted to get it out, We totally got the best deal in the world-by accident.
