The Race To Hire Dan Gibson Just Got More Competitive

eMusic CEO David Pakman, who has been with the digital-music service for four years and served as its top dog for three, has announced he’s vacating his post and joining an unnamed venture capital firm. eMusic has retained the Barlow Group to find his successor, but I should mention to those Barlow people that I might not be available for long, considering MySpace Music is still without a CEO as well. Just between you and me, Barlow Group, I would probably prefer the eMusic gig, especially after seeing what MySpace had to offer. Plus, eMusic carries the catalog of my favorite reissue label, JSP. Either way, as long as I can get one of those “golden parachutes” I’ve heard so much about, I’ll be happy. [Marketwatch]

    It’s the golden shower you want - don’t deny it.

    Yes, but can you pledge to leverage the brand potential in emerging vertical content markets while sourcing new revenue streams? [/marketingspeak]

    @Chris Molanphy: I pledge to only drink at lunchtime. Does that count for something?
