I liked this story. Maybe record companies should complain less about file sharing and do more actual work.Eye Weekly is a Toronto entertainment paper, and they dug this story out of their archives.http://www.eye.net/eye/issue/issue_10.26.06/features/anniversary.phpIT'S THE LATEST THING: THE WALL OF NO SOUND Taking a page from a 1989 stunt by Q magazine, Eye Weekly sends a press kit for a fake band (The Obvious) to 20 record companies accompanied by a completely blank fake demo tape. Seven caught on to the silence, five didn't get around to responding, three rejected it unopened due to policies against unsolicited submissions while five companies claimed to have listened closely to the tape without noticing it was blank, including Chris Manson of Duke Street Records, who said, "I listened to it two days ago, just the first couple songs, while weeding through tapes. It's in my 'listen to again' pile." (April 2)
