I don't know if you guys heard this, but in a recent interview in the financial times, EMI head honcho, Guy Hands declared he's moving towards corporate sponsorships for music albums. That's right: messages like "This Coldplay album was brought to you by Sudafed" could be starting to show up on your favorite artist's albums. Hands said "Football teams have very distinct corporate sponsorship. Why shouldn't some of the leading bands have the same sort of relationships?":

that's about the funniest/silliest thing i've heard in some time. i guess it will make it easier for those corporations that sponsor to get music for their commercials.  |
