Funny this had to come out via Ted Leo.

I wonder what Dr. Frank is doing? I hope all that MTX stuff doesn't just disappear.

So all the artists get their full ownership back now. That could be kinda cool.

Have they really not released anything new since 2006? I feel like there's been at least some releases in the past six years.

good question, I always wondered why he didn't pull that shit and give it to a working label years ago. Especially with the success of his books, probably could have created a huge cross promo opportunity.

I Googled to see if any publications were picking up on this story, and all I got was this site that didn't even bother to read Leo's statement or know enough about music to know that he's a recording artist, not the label owner.

I hope the MTX stuff gets reissued.

I'm pretty that's all that they were doing- digital comps and repressing key pieces of their remaining discography.

Lets begin discussing/reviewing every lookout release in order.
