So, Converse is opening a recording studio in Williamsburg, and nobody seems entirely sure what to make of it. Is this a well-earned payday for struggling musicians? A shameless corporate buyout of the last remaining scraps of “indie integrity?”
A really interesting article on the whole endless “art vs commerce” debate (wherein art is reduced to faceless “content” used to promote stuff you can buy). A bit too deep in it’s own blog hole though – Pitchfork doesn’t matter nearly as much as they think it does – but worth a read nevertheless.
