Record labels in lede

Odd that the lede mentions Cher Doll Records but not Merge, considering how the latter is much more of a defining connection for the band. I don't have a source handy but I know In the Aeroplane continued to be a huge seller for the label for years (if not today) up through the Arcade Fire era. A few sources in Google Books mention Arcade Fire overtaking the title of Merge's best-selling record, but not sure where I read something along the lines of Aeroplane outselling the label's other new releases years later. czar 14:38, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New EP

New EP just dropped at midnight, February 1st. Can't find any kind of press buildup suggesting new material. 96.33.8.11 (talk) 06:19, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

-Two comments:
-It appears some earlier version of this article was a copyvio from [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:gsj20r2at48c~T1 here].  Could someone rewrite the offending bits?  I'm not sure if it's similar enough to qualify as a copyvio at the moment, since much of it is different.
-No other band has so many generic categories (neo-prog, neo-psychedelia), and I would like to replace it with one or two broad categories.  How about [[:Category:Indie rock groups]]?
-[[User:TUF-KAT|Tuf-Kat]] 19:29, Aug 18, 2004 (UTC)
-Response:
-Since most of the offending changes are my fault, I'll rewite them as soon as I get the opportunity; I've meant to fix them anyway as they are too close for comfort in some places.
-As for the categories...  IMHO the term "indie rock" is so broad as to be almost useless for anybody seeking clarification on the subject: it may as well be "Post-WWII Contemporary".  Four categories, however, <u>is</u> alot. That could easily be trimmed.
-[[User:ClockworkTroll|Clockwork Troll]] 14:09, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)
-The page is more or less entirely copied from the allmusic.com entry ([http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:gsj20r2at48c~T1 here]). Some things get moved around, but a lot of descriptions and details about the history of the band are copied exactly.
-I'll delete the text besides the lists and some of the third and fourth paragraph because the part about "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" isn't from anywhere else.
