SonyBMG Jives Clive

Well, well, is nothing sacred in the music biz. Clive Davis has been deposed as ruler of the SonyBmg kingdom.

It seems although his company is selling records, it's not making enough money to justify Clive's rumored 10 million dollar salary. SonyBMG realized by demoting Mr. Davis and canning his lieutenants, they could save money without emptying the building.

Now that the logic of removing the big salaries to survive has entered the major labels' thinking, I just wonder who's next?

Number 9, Number 9

It's been some fine powder this year. I just love snow.

It seems client #9, the man who brought the major labels to their knees, has stumbled over his own little head, and now he's the one on his knees.

I got to say, the ex-governor ain't cheap, he didn't skimp on his playmate. "Pay for play" has taken on new meanings.

Plus it's shameful how many record executives are rejoicing over today's resignation of Eliot Spitzer.

Bankers Can't Sing

I gotta speak up when it's business music, not the music business.

So... how come the banks own all the music these days?


Hey Guy Hands, if bankers are so smart, how come Facebook is valued higher than all the major labels combined?
