Antipop Consortium

[Norman Bates]

Hello. There are two entries for the same band, one under the "Anti Pop Consortium" monicker, another under "Anti-Pop Consortium with a dash.

The first one is wrong anyway, because on the sleeve to Arrhythmia, "Antipop" is in just one word.

Anyway it's the same band. I think we should file both albums under "Antipop", as out of three albums

(with this one :

it's written "Antipop" twice.

I've merged the two together as it was a duplicate, but the spelling of their name is inconsistent. On their MySpace page, their name is hyphenated - http://www.myspace.com/antipopny and on their official Facebook page too - http://www.facebook.com/antipopconsortium it is hyphenated, but on the artwork it can be one word or two words without the hyphen.

We can only choose one spelling for BEA (at the moment). I'm tempted to keep the hyphenated version since that is what is used on the official website as the name of the band, but I can see the case for either of the other spellings being used instead (since they are on the artwork). To be honest, not sure what the right answer is here. Maybe we need to add the ability on BEA for alternate spellings to be entered and then all of these could be allowed.

Great. Merging the entries is probably good enough anyway. Thanks!
