OK, this has to be the funniest piece of prose I've ever read on the Yello digest.... You rock GCR! "riper and depper than an ocean of used diapers" is not strong enough to describe Hasselhoff output, but you do a good job. ;) I can't answer your question entirely. But from what I understand with major labels, the management usually decides who should remix whoever else, usually stipulated in the multi-year contract the band or person signed. So, that way you get a lot of interlabel remixing (i.e. remixing of artists also signed to the parent label or company). But I know that's only one facet, and I'm sure there's lots of other situations where someone else other than mgmt makes the decision...

Who propositions whom? Does David Hasslehoff sidle up next to to Oliver Lieb at the Secret Members Only Night Train 84 Club and say, "My music stinks, and is riper and deeper than an ocean of used diapers - please rescue my song before anyone notices! Help me Oliver-wan Liebnobi, you're my only hope!" [snip]
