Meg Frampton of Meg & Dia checked in with fans on the group’s blog at MySpace on Saturday (September 18), talking about how she quit the part time job she’s been working at the past three months, which was about the time they were dropped from Warner Bros. Records. Meg writes:

Our band is finally getting to the point where we are so busy doing things for our music that I finally had no time for my part time job (thanks to all of you!) I love my manager and my assistant manager. I couldn’t sleep last night because I was so nervous about quitting. I texted my band members all night asking them in a panic, “What should I do! How should I tell her”

On my way into work this morning I thought, “Well, maybe I should just keep the job. I could really use the extra money.” I kept rationalizing staying just so I wouldn’t have to go through the awkwardness of quitting. I didn’t want to look up at my manager’s hurt face after I told her the news. That image haunted me with each step into the store.

All day long, I kept myself busy and tried to think about anything other than the terrible conversation that was sure to come. I thought of how I might present my case in the most appreciative and positive way. My manager walked into work with the biggest smile I had ever seen on her face . I don’t know why she was so cheerful on this particular day. Her happiness made me feel even more guilty. She even brought back gifts for me from her manager’s meeting in Florida, a shiny high-end pen with our company logo and a sterling silver business card case. Perfect. On the day I decide to give my two weeks notice my manager decides to wake-up on the side of the bed where the birds are singing and the sun is singing along in harmony.

Dia Frampton of Meg & Dia checked in with fans on the group’s blog at MySpace on Tuesday (August 31), discussing plans to release a new EP soon and the story behind how an argument with her younger sister Jade led to the song ‘My Ugly Mouth’. Dia writes:

We’ve been getting a lot of questions from ya’ll and we couldn’t really answer them for a while, because we didn’t really have the answers. Now we do!

As you all know, (or maybe some of you), we finished recording out in Tillamook, OR a couple months ago. We did about 22 songs.

We have selected songs to be released on an EP, and that EP will be released – We don’t have a solid date yet – but probably at the end of September or some time in October! We are just finishing up art work for it with our good friend Vil and all the finishing touches. However, today we are releasing 2 songs on our myspace that are going to be on that EP. We hope you like them!

Meg Frampton of Meg & Dia checked in with fans on the band’s blog at MySpace on Monday (July 26), discussing Pioneer Day in Salt Lake City, Utah over the weekend, and how she spent the evening at home. Meg writes:

Now, a good writer always has some point, some moral. I know that Dia’s blog was about her struggles with New York and our struggles being released from our label, and my blog just seems to be about me being a couch potato, BUT if you look closer, it’s sort of about wanting to do something, finding yourself walking down a different path, a path that seems good and happy and the right thing at the time, and then you find yourself coming back just where you started from, the place where you knew you would be the most happy. That’s how I feel about being released from Warner brothers, and now Meg and Dia is in the hands of Meg, Dia, Nick, Jonathan, Carlo, and Mike, and I’ll tell ya: I couldn’t be happier. In a way, I think it’s the best thing that ever happened to us. Now I’m more involved, more excited, and more impatient than ever before. I want to play our music, and whether we get to do this forever or for a week longer is all on my shoulders. That’s a lot of pressure, but it’s also a lot of motivation, and I (we) are in control, the captains of our own ship if you will!
