Alice & Robert
A&R is actually a corruption
they used to be called Umm & Err Men.
Arse&Rectum

http://www.jitter.co.uk/argle/albini.html

http://archive.salon.com/tech/feature/2000/06/14/love/
ooh
I've not read that one, which is a bit embarrassing. Better go blog it - I'm that sad.
none of the things anyone said above
it's actually 'arseholes and restaurants'.
this wont help much
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A&R
R&D
FTW!
W&UT?
Someone needs to rewrite that last paragraph
I might try. It's just bollocks.
"Some A&R people have literally changed the face of modern music, John H. Hammond for example, had a long and rich career discovering some of the biggest names in music."
Sounds like sychophantic shit to me...
A&R
my favourite is A&aRse...
how many A&R men does it take to change a light bulb ?
dont know... what you think ?
i fucking HATE A&R men... all cunts.
pff
a&arsehole is funnier if you're going down that road!
they're not all cunts, either.
I could have easily gone on Wikipedia
But I wanted to see how 'funny' you guys would be.
I rate you 2/10.
it stands for
CUNTS! CUNTS! CUUUUUNTS!!!!! AAAARGH!!!
that was a public service announcement.
my friend married a A&R man
He's rich and has a big house.
See music does pay. Just make sure your the one not making the music.
