OK Go leaves EMI, takes their record and videos with them
OK Go, viral video superstars and noted Rube Goldberg enthusiasts, have parted ways with major label EMI, largely amidst disagreements regarding the embedding of the band’s famous music videos. The issue saw singer Damian Kulash come out in favor of embeddable music videos in both a statement on the band’s website and in an op-ed piece for the New York Times, believing that EMI disabling embedding on the band’s videos, including for new single “This Too Shall Pass”, was hindering the fans’ ability to enjoy the videos as well as the band’s ability to gain publicity through them.
To that end, the band has formed a new independent label called Paracadute Recordings and will now take over all distribution and promotional work for their recent full-length, Of the Blue Colour of the Sky.

Beastie Boys to release ‘Hot Sauce Committee Part I’ in September
Adam Yauch, known to the kids as MCA, recently revealed that the new Beastie Boys record Hot Sauce Committee Part I is expected to be released in September. The album had been planned for last year but was delayed after Yauch was diagnosed with cancer. Yauch had this to say about the album:
“We finished the record over a year ago, so we want to take a look at it and re-evaluate and make sure it is what we want to put out there and that we are still happy with it. I don’t think we will change it up too much.”
Once out, Hot Sauce Committee Part I will follow-up 2007’s The Mix-Up and be the band’s first album with vocals since 2004’s To the 5 Boroughs.
