I recommend everyone gives 'A Town and Two Cities' a listen too. Great to see the comments about Your Vegas on here …. they are completely my favorite band at the moment.

Maverick/WB shit the bed with that Eric Hutchinson project and dropped him... Perez wrote about him and the record shot into the Top 10 on iTunes' sales chart. Those 'posts about Spears' get read by 3 million people a MONTH. Mixed in with those are pieces on new acts that Perez likes. Name me one other A&R person who can draw that kind of attention to an act he/she thinks the general public will gravitate toward. Sorry Lilly, but it’s true.

Most of his posts are signed artists. But Warner isn't really paying him any money anyway. Perez posts news on Britney Spears, blogs about gay gay porn, and posts soft porn pics. Its a place for horny guys not music lovers.. Perez wont break any acts. Most of his posts are signed artists. But Warner isn’t really paying him any money anyway.

And is there any wonder the record industry is in the crapper? I mean, seriously? This is how the majors choose to combat multi-year double digit drops in sales? By essentially hiring the internet version of Bobby Trendy as a an A&R man? Ooooookay. “Celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton has been negotiating a deal that would provide him with his own imprint at Warner Brothers Records…”
