Vlog: Monitor Mix Record Label Challenge

Remember the other day, when I wrote about record labels and whether or not they still matter? And I also participated in an All Songs Considered show wherein I spent an hour discussing that very subject? Well, then, you might also recall that I claimed to be knowledgeable about labels and their artist rosters.

And, though no one challenged my claim as an "expert," I wanted to make sure I actually knew what I was talking about. Thus, in order to test my knowledge about record labels, I subjected myself to an impromptu, rigorous and unscientific quiz.

The results are shocking.
