Hmmm odd. I don't know why this counts as Kim Gordon 1 Universal 0. Sounds like they are annoyed at the Universal deal or something. I wouldn't go as far as saying they sold out but I think it obvious that the Universal deal affects what they can put out through ecstatic peace. I don't think it's any coincidence that a lot of the bands (MV/EE, Wooden Wand, Magik Markers) are putting out more polished and commercial records. Not to say some of those bands wouldn't have gone down that road anyway but I think the Universal deal has pushed some of them down that road (cul-de-sac?)
