Pitchfork: Articles: The Decade in News (via desnoise)

This is pretty much why I’ve (gracefully, I hope) exited from the “YOU MUST LISTEN TO THIS NOW!” business. Because at the stroke of 2007 (or, that’s when it happened for me), this all became less about thoughtfully sharing wonderful things and more about filling blank space indiscriminately in a 24/7, always-on media environment, and doing so in a shallow, hipper-than-thou, “FIRST!!!” kind of way. Oddly, I’ve only recently made peace with this, so I kinda hope that means that the bubble will burst soon.

xoxo, c. hotpoint
