sometimes when i read one of the sub-board music threads it's like i'm in a university basement with a bunch of genius scientists working on time travel and cloning while upstairs the tenured faculty is still discussing how magnificent electricity is.

Can anyone name all the clusterfuck canon-discussing music threads happening right now? I keep wandering into innocuous looking threads to see the same discussion that's happening in a dozen other threads.

i think we should start a music clusterfuck board, and whenever a music thread turns into a navel-gazing fest we can quietly move the threads to this board.

The most plausible scenario to me is one or more members of the group of people who organized AWK as a merchandising interestsplit not too amicably, forcing Andrew to assume the role full-time, but because these ex-AWKers held some part of the domestic album release rights, AWK groupcould not release close calls etc... for a while.
It might very well be that this was planned all along, but it doesn't make much sense to delay an album release to conjure up the mystique of legal trouble.If there is any consistency in how AWK operates, it is in taking full advantage of any synergistic opportunities that comes his way.
There is a kind of evil in this "embrace everything" attitude. You might not think it's possible to cheapen a song like "It's time to party" by having it appear in an expedia commercial, but both the music and its fans are degraded just a little bit by that.
