Note: After this blog entry was originally posted, Bradford Cox contacted me to say he was upset with it. What followed was a day of e-mailing, curse words and even a few moments of genuine soul-searching — all of which you can read about in my column, Bigger Than the Sound.
If you think you had a rough weekend, consider the plight of Deerhunter frontman Bradford Cox.
While you were busy downing one too many Jäger bombs, he was accidentally posting a link to his MediaFire account on his blog, thereby giving fans unfettered access to his entire collection of demos, unfinished tunes and two albums scheduled to be released over the next 12 months. He then attempted to purge the Internet of any and all traces of said material via a series of posts that oscillated wildly between poor-mouthed pandering and "OMG HOW DARE YOU I HOPE YOU DIE" missives.
All you had to do was clean up a little neon-tinged puke; big deal.
