Former MTV metalhead-in-residence Iann Robinson on the channel’s relationship with the record labels: “MTV isn’t actually the Big Man On Campus or the Star Quarterback, they are the fat linebacker friend who holds the kids down while the Quarterback gives them wedgies. They are on the same team, they even protect the Quarterback but their whole lives are spent being subservient to him. That’s MTV, they make bands, build careers but bend right over when the labels (or Quarterbacks) say to.” [Frank Castle’s Family via Buzzgrinder]
