Hi Guys--
Just letting you know that I'll be at ProgPower if any of you are planning on attending. Stop and say hello.

Thanks for the info

For Your amusement, to remind You how fortunate You are not to be hooked up with one of the shadier and demented record labels:

some kid on a mixing engineering forum was asking us what the roles of various record label personnel are.

One guy wrote a post including this:

"....A&R: It's supposed to be their job to be in touch with the vibe of the street, and to find artists that fit that vibe, to court them, and get them signed at the lowest possible percentage. In reality, this seems to entail going to lots of parties, name-dropping and scoring as much free coke as possible before their brains turn to mush. (For most it's too late). As a result they are probably deeply jaded, and cynical, don't care about music and will as likely sign a dyslexic badger just for a laugh, and to see if anyone notices."

Yup, I hope to make the Pre-party as well. Hopefully the weather will allow people's travel plans to go unaltered.
