 Scott Pianowski of Yahoo Sports joins me on this episode to discuss the Pretenders' 1979 debut album. In addition to breaking down this classic album in depth, Scott talks about how he got started playing fantasy sports, how he embraces variety in both sports and music and how sees the Pretenders' musical legacy beyond their first album.Random notes:I'd commented that the band is listed as “Pretenders” on all of their albums, but on some, they are listed as “The Pretenders,” including on Learning to Crawl — an album I actually owned.I have few pet peeves greater than hearing someone say “Chrissie Hyndes,” so I was mortified to hear myself pronounce her name that way at 36:30.Kudos to our dog, Branny, for providing sound effects at 41:36, when I was talking about “being floored” by Talk of the Town. That's the sound of her trying to open the door to my podcasting room.Scott mentioned that there is an oral history of MTV. I'm assuming that he was referring to I Want My MTV: The Uncensored Story of the Music Video Revolution. https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780452298569Scott mentioned the Breakfast Table podcast he does with Michael Salfino.

“Video Killed the Radio Star,” as the song and video that launched MTV in 1981 told us, and Millennials, among other pop culture deaths they have been accused of, killed the music video star at the end of the TRL era. It was replaced by reality series on MTV … though many current viewers may not know that before reality TV was the thing on MTV, it was most definitely athing – thanks to The Real World. The granddaddy of all MTV reality shows, and a seminal series in all of American reality TV, The Real World began in 1993 with seven strangers picked to live in a New York City loft together, and find out what would happen “when people stop being polite and start getting real.” The show ran for more than 30 seasons, filled with fights, tears, hookups, and copious amounts of alcohol at its worst and most embarrassing moments. But then there were moments of pure grace, where the cast took the chance to understand people unlike anyone they’d ever met before. And for one very special season, the audience was riveted by a heroic young man named Pedro, who charmed, educated, and truly showed just how the real world, and The Real World, could be. Almost 30 years after the MTV series premiered, the Paramount+ streaming service is reuniting The Real World: New York cast in that same NYC loft, when we see Eric, Kevin, Norman, Julie, Heather, Becky, and Andre get real again.  This week on Pop Literacy, we talk with Amanda Ann Klein, the author of the fantastic new book Millennials Killed the Video Star: MTV’s Transition to Reality Programming, about The Real World’s place in MTV history, why Pedro and that third season of the show changed reality TV, and what she, like us, her fellow Gen Xers, can’t wait to see what the New York cast shares about 30 years of reality television fame.

Los Angeles Times music editor and author Craig Marks joins Tim to talk about the birth of MTV and how it changed culture, music and television. Craig is a co-author of the book, “I Want My MTV: The Uncensored Story of the Music Video Revolution.” https://traffic.libsyn.com/shapingopinion/77_-_MTV.mp3   The date was August first, 1981, otherwise known as 8/1/81. That was the night music television was launched. Fittingly, the first video viewers would see was called Video Killed the Radio Star. It was a two-year old song by the Buggles that said it all. Before Music Television, radio and the record companies controlled the music industry. They decided what you would hear and who you would hear. They decided who the stars would be. After MTV, a lot more people had a say, and the music industry would never be the same. Dwight Garner wrote in the New York Times in 2011 that when it launched, “MTV delivered not just new music, constantly on tap, but also a jumpy new visual aesthetic.” It didn’t take long for MTV to have an impact. But before that could happen, the stars had to convince cable companies to carry the channel. That mission inspired the first iconic images of MTV, when David Bowie, Sting and others starred in TV spots demanding, “I Want My MTV.” Those spots drove demand on the part of young, baby boomers and the first cohort of Generation X. And cable television companies responded. But before you can fully appreciate the impact MTV made on culture, it’s important to know what it was like before music television. Craig Marks tells the whole story from those crazy ‘80s videos and bands, to the impact Michael Jackson and Madonna had on MTV and the impact it had on them. At the same time, MTV would usher in the Reality TV phenomena with the creation of The Real World. Our gratitude to Viacom for its permission to feature the classic "I Want My MTV" promotional spot audio in this episode.  Links I Want My MTV: The Uncensored Story of the Music Video Revolution, by Craig Marks and Rob Tannenbaum, Amazon MTV.com MTV Launches, History.com When the Music was Still on MTV, Vanity Fair About this Episode’s Guest Craig Marks Craig Marks is the Los Angeles Times’ music editor, responsible for coverage of popular music.

En este tercer episodio de Trincheras de la Cultura Pop, Elisa McCausland y Diego salgado atienden a la resurrección del videoclip; un tropo del audiovisual institucionalizado desde hace casi cuarenta años, pero que ha experimentado vaivenes considerables en cuanto a su peso específico en el marco de la cultura popular. En tiempos recientes, el impacto de videoclips como los estrenados a partir de temas de Childish Gambino, Beyoncé y su pareja, o, en nuestro país, Rosalía, animan a reflexionar sobre la vigencia de un formato que cambió durante una época la forma de consumir televisión y los hábitos de la adolescencia, y que, con el auge de YouTube y otras plataformas virtuales, ha alcanzado cotas de repercusión global impensables décadas atrás.
