Wham.
I wrote this earlier today on Vulture in response to a lame Washington Post article that gave NPR way too much credit for being a tastemaker. I hope I don’t sound like too much of a dick about this, but it’s not exactly an unqualified opinion or uneducated perspective given that I’ve been in music blogging for a long time, write regularly for Pitchfork, and spent a fair amount of time as a music producer in public radio. I think what NPR has been doing is great, it’s just dishonest to act as though they aren’t chasing the interests of a particular demographic of music fan who finds their music online.
