While we're on the subject of AMP has anyone noticed the large number of artists from the Liquid Sky & Asphodel labels shown (or I may be imagining this)? I think there may be a somewhat of a bias to NYC based musicians, maybe because this is where the show is produced. While I tend to like most of the Asphodel artists Liquid Sky tends to put out more homogenized acts. Either way I may be way off base on all of this considering I tend to watch this show in the wee hours of the morning... Something to ponder or not... Ross ;-)
