This wonderful oral history of the golden era of MTV is out today, and I suggest you buy it. Pitchfork has an excerpt on its front page today. If you’re around tonight, the authors are doing a little forum/Q&A thing at the Tribeca Barnes & Noble at 7pm with me, DMC and Ed Lover, along with whichever of the early execs decides to drop in. It should be interesting, but I’ll be honest: it will definitely be less sexy and drugsy than much of the goings-on in the book.
Anyway. Get your copy here and say goodbye to your weekend.

Here’s a little teaser:
In SUPER MARIO: How Nintendo Conquered America, video game expert Jeff Ryan explores the innovations and shrewd business strategies that paved the way for Nintendo’s success. Among the stories:
- The lawsuit over Donkey Kong’s similarity to King Kong, which Nintendo won by using Universal’s own words (and their own knockoff game) against them.
- How Sonic, the speedy hare to Mario’s steady tortoise, lost the race, as SEGA sunk from home console competitor to third-party developer.
- How a brief series of Phillips CD games turned a rare Nintendo licensing deal into a punch line.
- The unexpected approach that allowed Nintendo to reinvent itself as the gaming system for the non-gamer, grabbing market share by creating a new market.
