In honor of synthesizer pioneer Bob Moog's birthday yesterday, Motion City Soundtrack have posted their cover of The Rentals' "Waiting." The song was recorded during the band's sessions for 2007's
Even If It Kills Me
but never before released in North America.
Find it on their Tumblr.
Speaking of MCS, the band acknowledged their inadvertent leak of their upcoming album, Go, with zen-like acceptance saying just:
Go is due out June 12, 2012.So "Go" leaked. I am not sure if this is bad or good thing. I really feel that the right thing to do is to wait till its released and enjoy the record the way we had planned for you. We worked really hard on this and are very proud of it. We hope you like it and help us continue to make music by supporting us by buying our music.

"So "Go" leaked. I am not sure if this is bad or good thing. I really feel that the right thing to do is to wait till its released and enjoy the record the way we had planned for you."
After saying that he's not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing, he quite clearly says that it is a bad thing.
I agree 100% with him that leaking records is lame. But, I feel that anti-unauthorized file sharing artists are reticent to clearly assert their position.
I wish artists that are against illegal copying of their works were more vocal about it as I don't think they are the minority they seem to be.
I suppose that the reason for the relatively low key "anti" unauthorized file sharing position stems from that a lot of file sharers are bullies that do things like purposefully repose works on as many sites as possible which does even more damage than if the artist had stayed quiet. This dynamic does worry me.
