Sure, they have introduced new products & technology over the years, but not like other labels have. Now, the honchos as QS are scrambling to gain ground, even if it means slashing the company into pieces. Personally, I think this is a smart move & I'm looking forward to the future of QS.
Meanwhile, Bobby Martinez still has a job at FTW.... suckas!
The article got pulled already, I guess QS is planning their own press release. Buy Local!
They need the Roy Stuart business model. They could sell 5 boards, and keep the company afloat for a year or two.
WTF???? what is the point of pulling the story? Its not like they are gonna change what's happend...Quote:
