After an employee of Virgin's "indy" label V2 quit last week, he sent a great poison pen open letter to a bunch of music industry types:
"So, before i got let go, we had our weekly marketing meeting yesterday. They brought in a psychic person and everyone joined hands and did a seance... I'm not kidding, even if I wasn't fired I wanted to quit on the spot."

Update: Boing Boing reader Don Richards-Boeff points us to a Rolling Stone article revealing that the email above is a marketing hoax. Actually though, the whole truth though is stranger than the fiction the publicity firm created. Link
