Nice Guys Don't Finish Last, Nice Guys Finish Happy

About a month ago, Matt Mahaffey (of Self) gave a talk at TEDxNashville. That combo performance / speaking engagement is now available to watch in its entirety. In it, Mahaffey speaks to his experience being on a major record label, recording big radio friendly bands and working with ad agencies to create music for corporations. Unsurprisingly, all of these things required a great deal of compromise and not a lot of happiness. The talk ends on a high note and flies by with the interspersed songs thrown in - definitely worth a watch.
