Money Makes the Music go Round

"We ordered a laptop for Donnie Michaels at WFLY in Albany.
He has since moved to WHYI in Miami. We need to change the shipping address."
One Sony memo from 2002: "Can you work with Donnie to see what kind of digital camera he wants us to order?"

Another internal memo newbrief - this one courtesy of Sony Music.

Somebody has figured out that the music business is generated by the music companies buying air time and creating 'stars'.

But we always knew Music Hurts.

I am sickened but not shocked. Even without payola, the fact that large corporations own all the radio stations accross the country (making it so you basicly have the same stations in each city) and the record companies can pay these corporations to play there crappy music to get around the payola laws. This is why music fucking sucks now.
