Loading ...Mariah Carey’s new mouthpiece Roger Friedman has confirmed yesterday’s rumor that the “real first single” from Mimi’s delay-plagued, yet still forthcoming Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel will be a cover of Foreigner’s “I Want To Know What Love Is.” (In case you missed it, the new line on the Eminem dis track “Obsessed” is that it was just a “summer trifle,” and not a real lead single from the album, despite it having an expensive video and it being called a single by Mariah’s camp. This couldn’t be because it hasn’t hit the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10 in the five weeks that it’s been out, could it? Cough.) More »

The ultra-spendy Hamptons concert series Social@Ross–which featured shows by the likes of Billy Joel, Tom Petty, Prince, Dave Matthews, and James Taylor, as well as a $3,000/show pricetag for those people not famous enough to get in on their name recognition alone–will, alas, not see a second… More »

Some bands can brag about what venues they’ve toured through, but Fall Out Boy is one of the few who will be able to front about playing Antarctica after they play a “scientific colony” down there on March 25. More »
Perez Hilton’s Imprint With Warner: Slightly Less Wasteful Than Setting A Pile Of Cash On Fire?
Tue Feb 26 2008 by Maura
So you’re Warner Music Group. You’re smarting because your stock price is in the toilet, one of your marquee artists is leaving for heretofore unproven ground, and you’re still pinning your hopes on people eventually remembering that James Blunt exists. Also, you’re still smarting from wasting a bunch of money on a concert-promotion company that wound up being little more than a front for throwing celebrity-studded parties on your dime. So what do you do to turn things around? How about throwing money at a self-obsessed blogger with flattening pageviews, rudimentary MS Paint skills, and a track record of getting more than one percent of his users to buy albums by the artists that he waxes rhapsodically about?

Warner Music Group disclosed in its first-quarter earnings release that it bought Bulldog–the promotion company that put on those “$3,000 a pop if you’re stupid enough to pay to get in, free if you’re famous” Social@Ross shows that featured artists like Billy Joel–last May, but that it has since… More »
Warner Music Group: Dumber Than We May Have Ever Thought
Fri Jan 11 2008 by Maura
No doubt you remember the Social@Ross series of concerts from this summer, which featured big-name chefs, ottoman seating, Tom Petty, Billy Joel, James Taylor, Dave Matthews, and Prince–and a $15,000 price tag. Well, according to Pali Research analyst Rich Greenfield, Warner Music Group may remember those concerts quite well! Why? Because the beleaguered record company apparently shelled out about $16 million to acquire the shows’ promoter, the Bulldog Entertainment Group, and has since lost a total of around $30 million as the result of the acquisition.

If you scoffed at the thought of dropping $15k to net five concerts for that silly Social@Ross yuppie clusterfuck back in July, you will be delighted to learn what grownups-who-should-really-know-better are apparently willing to spend on their spoiled little dullards for one sold-out Hannah Montana show in Florida:

Here on the East Coast, people have been getting in a lather about Social@Ross, the five-concert, $15,000 concert series. But where’s the outrage at/snickering about Lollapalooza’s VIP cabanas, which ran between $32,500 and $75,000 for the weekend? More »
