EUK ,Woolies, and now Pinnacle. The distributor announced RECEIVERSHIP EARLIER TODAY.

As the X factor stable/owners, Take That, The Killers clean up and everything in their bright sunny looks great, the vast majority of the record biz is in a very dark place.

True, however I'm bullish on the record business. When one offers marginal talent saturation slammed down the throats of consumers, the house of cards will eventually fall. The majors have shot their legs off.

There is a better day coming, by people with the courage to develop real sustainable talent, and that takes the balls to give it time. Even going into 2009.

The hype in the States in the last week over the new Britney Spears release is just sickening.

To a lesser extent the saturation M&P on Beyonce is just absurd. I can't recall when I've seen this kind of total/overexposure. I'm dying to see what kind of numbers it buys.
