With the previously reported restructure of EMI's US operations still underway, attention is starting to turn away from the label execs up for the chop, and focusing instead on the major's roster, which is expected to lose some of its less successful artists, and maybe some of the quite successful ones too.
Which is why Dandy Warhols manager Lee Cohen has had to dedicate much of his week to denying rumours that his band are among those due to be kicked off the Capitol Records roster. He's told Aussie website Undercover: "All is super well in Dandyland. We definitely haven't been dropped".
He added that the band have "written a plethora of new tunes that we'll be premiering at our Los Angeles Wiltern theatre gig on March 3rd". Which is all good - because we're big Dandys fans here at CMU. In fact, as you all surely remember, they were on the cover of the very first CMU back in May 1998. You all remember that, right?
