Donnas collected
We have all lived so long that we're now seeing The Donnas honoured with a career-spanning retrospective. Yes, apparently seven albums in so far and counting.
Curiously, the plan is to re-record some of the old songs - which, given the compilation is going to be on their own label, suggests shades of Simply Red's scheme to create versions of their back catalogue which they own.

Years ago they did a midnight signing of their new album in the record store where I worked. This was 2002 if memory serves. We had a good sized crowd (they were a local band gone big), including some little girls. It was pretty cllo.
Then I had to go and ruin it. Once the crowd had been ushered out, maybe 2 A.M., employees grabbed their copies of the new CD and had the band sign. Since I was in charge I was last, quite literally as the band was next to the exit.
Band member: Look! It's a promo! He didn't pay for this! And we already signed it! Should we take it back?
Me: What's your royalty rate? I'll reimburse you.
And it got really, really quiet.
A coworker later pointed out to me that as a new band they were probably sharing about fifty cents among them per disc.
Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Funny though.
