More musings on the whole Ashley Morgan Lady Gaga thing we reported earlier.
Since Lady Gaga can’t sing, can’t write, looks awful, is annoying to be around (so we’ve heard) and smells faintly of a lamb chop that has been left out of the fridge for too long, why on earth would anyone want to pretend to be her?
We remain confused but entertained.

Ashley Morgan’s new record label, E&R Records, is something of a music industry anomaly. At a time when every the major labels are falling over themselves to go digital Ashley Morgan’s new record label is taking things back to the old school with good old fashioned analogue vinyl and, shock horror, cassette!
All of these Ashley Morgan recordings will be distributed through independent record shops. No digital downloads, free or paid.
No, I don’t know what he’s up to either. Personally I reckon it’s crazy. But he tells me that digital music is a waste of time and that analogue is the only way forward. I told them that it might work for jazz (I would imagine that jazz musicians and jazz fans were Ashley Morgan’s target audience when he put this new shindig together) but not for the kind of indie pop that Enormous push.
I remain confused and dazed but hopeful that Ashley Morgan’s new record label is heading in the right direction here. Otherwise we are all doomed.

Yesterday we had an email asking if Enormous trumpet player and stubble adorned jazz musician Ashley Morgan was available for a Lady Gaga tribute gig.
Apparently, despite being a happily married father with facial hair that looks like it could sharpen diamonds, Ashley Morgan is in demand as a Lady Gaga impersonator.
Here at Enormous HQ we take a pretty dim view of unoriginal music and believe that tribute acts have a special place in hell.
Ashley Morgan was unavailable to comment on this thoroughly hilarious situation. However, we remain certain that he once he is made aware of the situation he will find it just as pathetically hilarious as we do. Albeit with his usual sense of calm. *
* Disclaimer. We do not expect Ashley to remain calm. He has been known to Hulk out on several occasions. If he smashes through one of your walls whilst ripping his shirt off in a Lou Ferrigno style we don’t take responsibility.
**Disclaimer number two. We do acknowledge that there are other Ashley Morgans out there but please have some sense before contacting us about other Ashley Morgans like the lawyer, the actress (cough, cough) and the aforementioned Lady Gaga impersonator. It is possible for more than one person to have the same name you know.

Ashley Morgan’s new record label, E & R Records (or E&R Records, or E and R Records, whichever one sticks) is going to be analogue only and won’t release anything on any kind of digital format (except mini disc which Ashley Morgan appears to have some kind of attachment to that I’ve never understood).
Crikey!
Analogue only. No digital distribution at all.
Has Ashley Morgan lost his marbles or will Ashley Morgan’s latest record label venture, E & R Records (or E&R Records, or E and R Records, you get the picture) work? Will Ashley Morgan’s other record label, Big Arena Records, follow suit?
I don’t know! Ask him not me? Visit Ashley Morgan’s websites and find out for yourself!
