Overheard @ NARM

• “…the publishing/rights issues are definitely going to get worse before they get better.” 
• NARM & The RIAA released their sustainable packaging report. (more)
• “No official figures have been released yet, but attendance is definitely down…350 companies represented this year, with 70 of them being new the convention.”
• John Lenac (Yahoo! Music) on Social Networks…“Social media is more a function than a destination…”
• TwoTweet is pitching a storefront and shopping cart that they are building that interfaces with Twitter.
• “music biz is like others: smaller than last year but survivors are reinventors.“
• Virgil promises me the first of his NARM videos today.  Seems like he’s having big fun…I mean being really productive.
• Until Virgil’s digital package arrives here’s a short video from the NARM A2IM Crash Course after the jump.
