Mixtape Culture to Payola Playlists
The Death of Emotional Music CurationBy Chris A. Piazza | Antherra™
Length1h 7m
About this audiobook
This is the autopsy. This is the love letter. This is, yes, the little bit of arson. Every rib of the thing that ate the mixtape gets named — payola wearing a hoodie, mood as scented candle, skip rate as god — and by the last track, you know which half of the trade you signed and which half was signed for you. What you do after is on you.
