Deerhunter - accidental leaks, an early release & MORE 2008 Tour dates (including Le Poisson Rouge in NYC?)

first!

This is pretty fucked up but I'm just going to go ahead with this... because, well, it's anonymous.

Has anyone seen Tropic Thunder?

Simple Jack.

Obviously Bradford is the man but you gotta admit there is a serious resemblance there. Okay, I'm going to go get in line for hell now...

In the midst of a mea culpa Montgomery can't help but be an asshole. It wasn't really his fault after all that he slammed Bradford, he was just acting like an "average blogger". Fuck off, Montgomery you prick.

bradford is a genius at manipulating blogger types into endlessly writing about him by playing constant "victim"

this guy has no class. he needs to take a break from the internet

for real

ooops. downloading for free right now.

ooops...paid for something...silly me...didn't mean to support something i like...it's really great...

oops...maybe i'll go see the show and support it the band that way... silly me.

LPR sold out?

BRADFORD, I KNOW YR UPSET AND HUNGRY, BUT PLEASE DON'T EAT THAT DOG!!!!

is that a minpin that he's holding in the picture?

"LPR sold out?"

Looks like it is now. There was a "Begin Order" button before. Now it says "All remaining dates and prices for this event have sold out."

welcome to the 21st century folks. music is now essentially free and bands have to make their wages through merchandise and touring.

6:33 misses the point by a wide margin.

look at that complete dong on the right. god, what a fool.

bradford cox hates his fans

Logos is unpolished....Microcastle is better than Weird Era Con't....Everyone is crazy

bradford cox likes cocks and perhaps he needs some in his life, maybe then he'd be less of a crankmeister. dude needs to get laid.

i think the music industry should start testing for steroids. cox is ripped.

and what exactly -is- the point 6:38

that's the reality of the world we live in.

sorry.

I thought his mp3s were thrown out in a suitcase in brooklyn... oh wait...

Too bad that dog didn't suffer an accidental leak itself while Bradford was holding it.

bradford is just a whiny bitch. that's just his thing. i gets so trashed at his shows and just rants on and on...

anyway, he brought it upon himself. he's got only himself to blame. live and learn.

Will that dude just EAT something!!!!!!!

ha. he has some disease that makes him super skinny. it must suck.

the guy might be a tortured hater, but the new albums really is amazing. one of my favorites of the year and i haven't even listened it to completely. i'm really quite enthralled by it.

The new album truly is amazing. I also enjoy his blog. That said, he should really eat a sammich.

I like his music.

man i wonder if he has a disorder. he is sort of terrifying looking.

marfan syndrome

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marfan_syndrome

stop with these comments, there is no need to post links to marfan syndrome its obvious and not cute

he only has a disease for attention

ha. disease jokes are funny.

fuck all you losers who commented on this. you must not even be old enough to make a meaningful and not disrespectful response. i probably would have made the same comments when i was 14 or 15, too.

actually i'm 13

ha. people still pay for digital music?

Wait, there's a chick in Deerhunter?

the simple jack comparison is the funniest thing i've read this week.

well played.

also, "stop with these comments, there is no need to post links to marfan syndrome its obvious and not cute"

you're right. it's both obvious that he has it and as a result, he is not cute.

The new Deerhunter album is fantastic. I can easily overlook Cox's internet rants since he's put out two of the best albums of the year.

Cox really wins the award for greatest media hound of the Digital Age. I think the best thing he could do to maintain his self-respect, is politely decline commenting on every detail of his band/life. Reality Rock anyone? Drama 101? Just don't respond, otherwise it looks like you are constantly spinning the media . . .

oh bradford, how you entertain me so.

Here is the deal.

I accept my mistake. I apologize for my reaction, especially since it was misinterpreted so widely to be directed at fans. I appreciate and am very grateful for the fact that people want to hear my music and the music we make with deerhunter. I don't take that for granted. My anger was very much directed at dickwads who mock the dead. And my anger was directed at myself. Sorry for projecting.

I have researched it and am not going to make excuses but the fact is that Mediafire has made several upgrades recently when I was taking a break from blogging. In all seriousness, I AM THE ONE WHO FUCKED UP by not realizing that without creating an account, Mediafire has been archiving my uploads "for my convienience" via my "browser chache (!?!)" and that as part of their new "convienient" features they offer automatic "folder sharing" which must be turned off. I don't blame anyone for, and am not accusing anyone of STEALING things. How many songs have I given away on this blog? I have always uploaded the same way and copied and pasted the link from the same place. I didn't expect this to be any different.

TO ACTUAL FANS, SUPPORTERS, AND FRIENDS: I don't blame you for my mistake. I'm NOT pissed if you download the stuff. Please don't apologize. I'd probably do the same thing. I feel like a hypocrite for making people feel guilty on that end. I will finish Logos, but for now I'm taking a quick break to get away from this weird glowing box that makes me insecure and feel like i have to defend myself all the time. Please enjoy Microcastle and Weird Era Cont., and the Logos demos that I probably would have posted for free here anyway AFTER the album was finished.

Please keep in mind that these records are made possible by our record labels, Kranky and 4AD. Microcastle was released today on iTunes. If you downloaded it in advance through the leak and you can afford it I urge you to support those labels and us by downloading it legally.

Also, although I am grateful, please do not send paypal donations. I have refunded the ones that I received.

I also want to make something very clear and I'm going to keep it short: I don't sit around scheming up ways to get publicity. Nobody affiliated with us our any of our labels leaked Microcastle. I had no intention of leaking Weird Era or Logos. When I make records by myself or with Deerhunter, I enjoy taking into consideration LOTS of aspects about the WHOLE RELEASE. I wanted Microcastle and Weird Era to be a Fall / Winter record. That might sound stupid to some of you but its the whole truth. I don't blame you for listening to it now that its widely available, but its just another part of the project that was taken out of my hands by someone not associated with the band or label. Weird Era, I reiterate, was MY MISTAKE.

I have disabled the comments on this blog, not for fear of negative feedback, but because several of my friends and band mates urged me to do so. I apologize to our friends and fans that will no longer be able to communicate here but there is always the deerhunter forum maintained by Oliver, Madeline, and Gaurav. My intention is not censorship. I despise censorship. But friends and family come before politics for me.

I am seriously ending all bad vibes here.

Cox

there's a huge cloud of "who cares?" hovering of this entire story.

man, that does suck.

Perhaps this is a big deal, but not really.

Still, why the fuck comment on every detail of your life, via blog-culture?

because that's why teenagers do.

what*
