Mercedes' sentiments in the latest entry are really similiar to what I was reading in the latest Rollingstone about Courtney Love's suit againt Geffen/MCA/Universal/Etc. She talks about "artist development" as being a phony term, and the seven-album contracts as slavery. Hopefully these things can change so artists like the jazzies can get a better shot at making their music heard. Well, I can wait for the album, I know it will be great. Whatever they choice to do, I hope that it works out.
