What Lisa Robinson doesn’t know about music could fill a very large warehouse.

@Michaelangelo Matos: Yes Vanity Fair will really be hurting if she can't cover every last promo she receieves.

I wish all labels would move to this already.

I think it needs to be a two-stage process.

Stage 1: Major labels announce move to 100% digital promo servicing.

Stage 2: Major labels announce initiative to give a free 160GB iPod to every music critic in the country.
