EMI to sack 2,000 say new owners

Money well spent, dicks

... are slowly heading back to the 1970's - commercial, safe, corporate, out of touch. Whilst the next few years will be painful, in time this should present opportunities to decent indies to fill the gaps. The market will be significantly smaller, but not necessarily any less interesting.
Having said that this decision is a real shame for a lot of good people at EMI. Having been through redundancy myself, I know how horrible it is.

Yes, on the one hand, it's a shame people are losing their jobs.
On the other they gave Robbie Williams a stupid amount of money. So fuck 'em.

What does that say then?

they should stop giving obscene amounts of money to one hit wonders reality TV show contestants and washed up has beens(that just majors in general not just emi) and should help out smaller indie labels who work grass roots level to help future oasis and artic monkeys then when the bands are big enough to go on a major label the bands will remmber what the labels did to help them out when they started.

i pensolly think maybe robbie should be drop from his label his does a rude box type album again

I managed to claim back £20 spent on a glaucoma panic related eye test, some lemsip and a box of tissues, needed while recording.

I included all the recipts and did everything correctly and I guess who ever got it in the post must have thought "This is too fucked up to question. And it's Friday afternoon."

The only reason I claimed was because someone told me when I got back that because of the family history of glaucoma I could have got the test for free. BAH!
