There is a bit of truth to this. In radio, if a record label or promoter doesn't like your station very much, you simply won't see much of their music. Since all college stations (should) be charting their top 20 to CMJ, you end up with certain artists being favored over others. While there is a lot of freedom, if you're a complete oddball station then the music industry will stop giving you certain music. Outside of that, I thought this was a pretty bad and inaccurate article. Especially the portion about album reviews and Pitchfork. When you're reviewing an album you should take into account what the album is intended to in. In Andrew W.K.'s case the album isn't intended to be anything other than fun, party music. In this case it pulled it off very well, hence it's rating. The overall tone of this article sounds like it's coming from somebody who has a strong hate of the industry, perhaps because they haven't made it. Either way, only one or two actual good points were made, the rest was noise.
