"Whereas MTV used to use music and the image of its makers to sell a lifestyle (and, by extension, ad space), it now uses a lifestyle to sell music (in addition to the ad space). Songs are now just an add-on to crisply filmed images of young, attractive, sarcastic people who live in Brooklyn and do Brooklyn Things (showing up to a media job late every day, hanging out in bodegas). I had intended to make note of the second episode's soundtrack, but the only songs I managed to even notice were 'Kam Sign Knights' by Xray Eyeballs and 'Wild Leaves' by Custom Kings, each of which made 15-second, low-volume appearances in the background." →
So nice to have Kate Richardson’s byline in a publication that I oversee again, and atop a piece that gets right to the heart of why being “into music” and liking music are not really the same thing.
