[edit] Not Independent

How can DFA be called an independent label if is under the EMI banner? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.251.95.177 (talk • contribs)

They have a distribution deal with EMI - they are not owned by them. Secretlondon 02:41, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

The opening line now says they are a subsidiary of EMI? 194.46.8.9 07:39, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

They are not a subsidiary, EMI does not own them. Secretlondon 18:31, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Financing Citation Needed

"financed by bubble wrap heir Tyler Brodie. " - do we have a source for this? Secretlondon 10:57, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't even understand what it means. Did Tyler inherit a very rich bubble wrap company ? Did he shield them from any financial worries? --Ling

[edit] Name Dispute

I removed two quotation paragraphs from this section of the article. I am sure that Wikipedia should not be a conduit for death threats or for fighting business disagreements. It is enough to note that there was a dispute. Hu 10:32, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

i disagree... .... that battle is classic. dfa=uninteresting. dfa-dfa1979 slugfest=interesting :)

[edit] NPOV Concern

The following section is NOT NPOV: "After 20 years of machine-made dance music generally void of any warmth or improvisation."

[edit] Indie Rock???

Is James Murphy really considered an Indie producer? I really don't consider him one. I think of him producing with Tim, meaning mostly dance music. I didn't want to change the main page without asking anyone else though.

I don't think indie rock producer is appropriate either, as the only real "indie" production credits he has are Radio 4's "Gotham" and The Rapture's "Echoes". Perhaps "musician" would be more appropriate as this seems to be his primary focus. Plum743 20:16, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Britney Spears

The Britney thing hasn't been released - they claim that it didn't work (or something there are loads of refs) - there is an mp3 claiming to be it floating round on the internet but as far as I know it's not been officially admitted to. Secretlondon 07:39, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Confirmed from friends, yes from my understanding the britney spears projects are shelved. it did happen though TomSkillingJr.
