Following up to my last post, or should that be poest? I dunno.
Apparently, Poe is currently in deep legal wrangling about trying to release some new music:
“Well…alot has happened. I am chomping at the bit to tell you what the hell has been holding me up. Yes, there’s new music. No, I’m not dead…just got periodically strangled by red tape and paper weaponry. Yes. I signed some pretty screwed up contracts when I was a young moron. And yes. I’ve suffered a few…setbacks (to say the least). Just to give you an idea: fine print exists in record contracts sometimes that can prevent an artist from singing any songs that were recorded during the term of their contract—for up to 7 years! (Shit! I might be sued for singing “Angry Johnny” in my shower!) It’s amazing how much trouble you can get into when your write a little ditty and sing it to your friends. Yes. It’s a brutal business. But that’s okay. No worries. I’m a brutal artist.”
She’s written a satirical story about the problems. You can read it here.
