The band aren't releasing it, the record company is.

weirdness, do you know anything about the dvd?

[anamour]

It's lots of lots of their music videos I think? Including the one for Pop Is Dead even, which is ultimate proof the band aren't in charge since I reckon they'd be happy if that one never saw the light of day again ;)

ah, okay...thanks!

From "The Word":

"We're not really bothered about it. If they spend a wodge of cash trying to get those songs heard again, then great, but our management tried to tell them that people don't really buy greatest hits any more. Only in Britain, nowhere else. iTunes has seen to that. You might not make your money back. And we haven't really had any hits, so what exactly is the purpose?

But there's nothing we can do about it. The work is really public property now anyway, in my head at least. It's a wasted opportunity in that if we'd been behind it, and wanted to actually do it, then it might have been good."

thom let the NBA use house of cards in a commercial for the playoffs when he'd always said he'd never do anything like it

[warmblackstar]

i can't imagine that song on a commercial for that
