Occupy Kurt Vile
If rock ‘n’ roll has always tried to distance itself from popular culture/ industry as much as it can (which may not be much at all, despite Johnny Rotten’s best efforts), indie rock has been particularly adamant in its (usually doomed) refusal. Indie rockers only support independent musicians at small venues, with iPhones in the pockets of our Urban Outfitters jeans. When faced with these contradictions, some cringe, look away or maybe even pour out some PBR in mourning. However, sometimes it’s simply too much to take, like when the superheroes of M83 licensed “Midnight City” to Victoria’s Secret and Spotify’s insufferable, endless commercials or when Kurt Vile licensed “Baby’s Arms” to Windows Phone and to Bank of America (and disguises it as this “beautiful, artistic, real to life” video).
