  Meanwhile the New York Times has an article this week about the band
  Wilco ( http://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/21/arts/music/21PARE.html )
  and their new album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.  Deemed unsuitable by Reprise,
  a part of the Time-Warner-AOL media megacorp, the album was rejected.
  The band, unhappy with their label support anyway and unwilling to be
  forced into the alt-country niche in which Reprise had successfully
  promoted their 1996 album "Being There" fought for and obtained control
  over the recordings..  They shopped the completed album around and
  eventually placed it with Nonesuch, another part of the Time-Warner-AOL
  media megacorp..  Go figure.
