We've been lucky enough to play 2 of the 3 IPOs that David Bash threw in 
Philadelphia, and I, for one, have always been grateful for his tireless 
promotion of Pop music.
What he's doing must take a truly psychotic amount of work. And I have to 
imagine that whatever remuneration he receives (if, indeed, there's any at 
all) is far outweighed by the energy and commitment he puts into it, not to 
mention his out-of-pocket costs.
And as an aside: the other night, my 2-year-old daughter walked up to me and 
announced (pretty much appropo of nothing), "Daddy, you're in a time-out!"
I'm starting to feel like this list maybe needs one, too.

np: Kate Nash, "Made of Bricks." I will promote this young woman to the 
stars. It's most refreshing record I've heard in ages.
