Follow-Up: Message from Tony Brummel

Posted by: Jason Tate (08/13/09)
As a follow-up to this post, we have received the following email from Tony at Victory Records.
Message from TonyI do not know and have never spoken to Gerard Cosloy or anyone at Matador. I have never said anything derogatory about the label (that he is part owner of along with the company being 50% owned by Martin Mills at Beggars Banquet), its bands or anyone that works there. However, over the last several years Cosloy has gone out of his way to take shots at me (via his blog), my company and my artists. He even took the time to create his own rendition of our logo (his rendition has two male bulldogs having sex). If standing up for my company and my artists is wrong to some people that is too bad. It is my job and obligation. I do not have the time or desire to hurt Cosloy, his company or artists. I am not happy that he lost his home but his immature, snide and unwarranted actions are bad karma. “If you don’t have anything nice to say (especially about someone that you do not know), don’t say anything at all.” He should focus on his company and artists instead of blogging. The man is at least 8 years older than me. As a man, why not “man up” and pick up the phone if you have a problem with someone? I am an easy guy to find. Regardless of his juvenile ramblings I wish him and his company the best of luck.

Hate to say it, I'm siding with TB on this one. If the kid at school who always picks on you gets punched in the face, you're stoked. You don't offer him your condolences.

Well according to Brummel, if you don't have anything nice to say you don't say anything at all. The man is a contradictory mess, and a waste of life.

I never know who to believe. But as far as Victory sucking, I'm right there with Cosloy.

Maybe I interpreted this wrong but it doesn't seem like he's denying sending the e-mail, moreso "justifying" it.
