    • As an indie musician and fledgling producer I have to say I'm curious to see how this will play out. I don't like to see people loose their jobs (A & R or otherwise) but before we string up Mr. Hands shouldn't we at least give him a chance? The record industry has been loosing buckets and buckets of money since the internet/mp3 revolution. Maybe, just maybe Mr. Hands has a plan to turn things around.

    • Brilliant!

      another fucking idiot with no clue how reality works ramping up to destroy his own industry.

      Now, if Trent Reznor could license out his business model, we can all go happily back to hoisting middle-fingers at clueless middle-men.

      huzzah, etc.

    • Who needs labels like this anymore anyway. He will only run the company into the ground. Or put out such a piss poor product no one with half a mind will listen anyway. Maybe he could sign britney.
