OK. You list games that are mostly silly and immature. Well - here's one that happens everyday - and it's a cross between gossip and others need to know. I'll give it the name, "Painful But Necessary."

This is when you either discover information, or are shared information w/o a request to keep in confidence, where the information is relevant to the operation of the business or to a fellow co-worker who has an issue that can directly or indirectly affect the business.

The information could be embarrasing, may lead to disciplinary action, or even worse, or be beneficial if it comes out.

Many of you have raised valid points which the industry must address in order to survive. What I see as the most critical point is the record label "business and operations model" that must change. The model of signing and promoting an artist for media and digital sales is gone. I believe the real "value" today is in the artist, more so than the music. So labels need to better explore partnerships and vertical and lateral integration. As a person who also writes scientific papers on rhythm, language, and the brain, I approach music as our 1st and still most reliable language today.
