Remember Blake Sennett’s bitter comments about Rilo Kiley splitting up in his interview with Spinner?
Sennett now worries about how this was interpreted and said he was disappointed in how the article portrayed what he said. It is always the problem, but when you use words and expressions like ‘deception’, ‘disloyalty’, ‘greed’ and ‘things I don't really want to submit myself to’, you may expect such a result!
So Spinner is now printing a follow-up to straight things out, and in particular a Jenny-Lewis-love-fest quote that was not included the first time! How dare you Spinner?! Here it is:
‘She's my buddy. She's a good person, a good friend. She's my homie.’
Sennett added this to completely clarify the situation:
‘Look, all bands have s—. Ours was no different. That's all I was saying. The rest has been completely editorial. Most of the interview was in reference to me leaving music in general and my reasoning for doing so. Not Rilo Kiley specifically. This interview was supposed to be about the new Elected album I just released, and somehow became the official announcement of Rilo Kiley's end. Perhaps I chose poorly in using the three inflammatory words all these blogs seem to like so much. So for that I'm sorry. As far as the band being over? We are. Rilo Kiley is officially broken up. It's sad but it happens.’
Rilo Kiley is still off, but there is no bad blood between Blake and Jenny, OK?
