Building A More Perfect Musical Brain
It was a long time ago now, but there was a time when MTV was the place where millions of music fans discovered new music and artists, like Madonna, The Beastie Boys and even Nirvana, became superstars.

Guests:
 Tristan Jehan, co-founder and CTO of The Echo Nest
