| | After Island merges with Def Jam, we present them with a demo of thirteen songs at the beginning of 2000. We have no one left at the label, so we play hardball and tell them this is the album - take it or leave it. They leave it. This is the exact reaction we were looking for. We record five more songs and go shopping for labels. Most of the Island people have already followed Chris Blackwell over to his new label, Palm Pictures, and that is where we want to go, too. We take a few obliging meetings with other labels, but in the end, our first instinct wins out and we go with Palm. Anyone who has ever seen a Metallica documentary that doesn't include a crack-pot therapist will recognize our new A&R guy: Michael Alago. He asks for more songs and we send a new batch of songs that includes Keep Your Girlfiend and Half-Life. We now have over twenty songs for a proposed 10 song record. We think we're more than ready. Michael calls and says we're not ready. He needs a couple more from us. Scott gets pissed and goes to see Almost Famous to try and fall in love with rock and roll again. After he cools down, we shuffle around the chords of Manifest Density and I Put A Spell On You to try and come up with the weirdest song we can think of. It's Hands On The Bible and Michael loves it. After a year of bullshit, we're finally off to the races again. |
