We're Not Record Execs, But We Play Ones at Spin Parties

We were sitting at a table in the VIP section (read: upstairs) of the Hiro Ballroom last night awaiting Albert Hammond Jr.’s set when someone asked us if we were with RCA Records. We answered in the affirmative, which prompted the staff to keep supplying us with free bottles of 42 vodka all night. And they wonder why the record industry is in trouble.

Hammond, best-known for being one-fifth of The Strokes, was playing on behalf of Spin and MLB2K8.
