Roger and I both have to live
with an uncomfortable statistic:
明年的某个时候，我们俩人中的一个可能会被解雇

所以这就是我正在做的事
So here's what I do.
我听这些音乐，来自于乐队，歌♥手，作曲家都可以
I listen to music, bands, singers, songwriters,
然后决定哪些人有可能得到这个成功的好机会
and decide which ones have
a good chance of commercial success.
然后我出于怜悯的礼仪安排他们来录音
I then arrange for them
to be recorded in a sympathetic manner
然后我们，唱片公♥司♥把这些音乐卖♥♥给你们这些普通大众
and then we, the record company,
sell them to you, the general public.
这就是A&R，艺人开♥发♥和歌♥曲储备部门
That's A&R, artiste and repertoire.
简单？
Simple, eh?
滚吧
Get fucked.
你都坚持不到10分钟
You wouldn't last ten minutes.
