about his solo stuff:
"Sharp told Glorious Noise that he would like to release his album on a mid-level indie, but he'll release it himself and sell it at shows and online if necessary. He mentioned being friends with one of the guys in Guided by Voices, and that he would really love to put it out on Matador. He told us that his previous experience with a major label was "nuts," and that the label execs really expected the Rentals phenomenon to be much larger than it was—that they really were counting on a huge new wave trend, and when that failed to happen they put all their money into Prodigy."
