The Hippest Baseball Simulator Ever

Video game developer 2K sports have asked indie rock-tastemaker Pitchfork to pick songs for the soundtrack to their upcoming Major League Baseball Sim MLB2K8. Cause if there's one things jocks love, it's indie rock, right?

I'm not knowledgeable enough about this to know whether its just a policy of good taste from 2K sports (whose NBA series has also had surprisingly good music featured) or if getting a soundtrack full of small-label bands is done for economic reasons.

Could very well be economic reasons. My guess, 2k doesn't want to be like EA, whose sports games usually have some of the worst music ever compiled in one place.
