Where's Super D?

A message from BenFolds.com...

hi there,

ben here.

well, we mixed super d two months ago and the cover is still hanging around a printing press somewhere. the problem seems to be that they can't print black for some reason; it turns out blue. i shit you not. so it keeps going back to the printing place. and when one thing gets fixed, something else shitty pops up. when i said, 'i don't think the cover looks right', i didn't know it would cause the record to be late by 6 weeks or so. sorry. they kinda got it right now. and my art guy at sony even flew down to the place to see if he could persuade them to keep the blue out of the black, and it's still blue-ish. oh well. thanks to smog design for helping us get it right, and the label for flying the guy down to bumfuck north carolina to try and explain to these people what black is until he was blue in the face...

The Darkness cover sounds interesting.

Completely off topic, but I know how much you enjoy C-List celebrity blogs. The latest? A cast-off from Andy Dick's "Assistant." Stefani, the gothy makeup lovin' one kicks it lo-fi on Livejournal. Enjoy.
