The Strokes came out with some surprising news indeed today when they announced their sophomore effort Room On Fire will be delayed a week due to “packaging problems.” Why is this a surprise? Well, with an album this heavily anticipated you would expect them to move the date up to combat possible file-sharing. I guess the boys from NYC figure folks’ll be willing to pay for a well put together album. What a concept.
Not so surprising is the announcement that Courtney Love’s debut solo disc will be pushed back from late October 2003 to February 2004 to allow for some “finishing touches.”
Translation? Let’s travel into the disturbing and imaginary land that is Courtney’s brain for this one:
“Well, even with the help of that chick from 4 Non Blondes — y’know the one Pink and Xtina love so much — I just can’t get my shit together. I sure wish my dear deceased hubby was here to supply me with some music. Darn!”
