and i quote from rollingstone.com
According to one label executive, the decisions about who to cut are being based in large part on profitability. Stereolab have sold only 40,000 copies of their recent album, Margerine Eclipse. The Breeders' last CD, Title TK, moved barely 45,000 units. Third Eye Blind, whose 1997 debut sold 6 million copies, didn't reach gold with 2003's Out of the Vein. Also vulnerable are developing bands such as Socialburn and Apartment 26, whose CDs will not likely earn back the money it cost to record and promote them.

Why not? Big record labels really only do care about profit.
Perhaps Kim can join Frank in the land of spinART, where they actually care about their artists.

God - I hadn't even noticed they were on Warner - just assumed they were still with 4ad. Anywho, as Apesy says they're not going to have trouble finding an indie label who will take them under their wing
