Alex Nackman’s music brings much-needed calm to ‘Real World’ finale

The song “Proximity,” by Sleepy Hollow product Alex Nackman, played in the background during last week’s season finale of MTV’s “The Real World: Denver.” Dig it.
In the episode, when “Real World” cast member Davis tries to win back ex-boyfriend P.J., “Proximity” starts playing. If you want to cut right to that scene, fast-forward to the moment when there are exactly six minutes remaining in the “Hard Times” clip. It’s a nice chunk of Nackman’s music and lyrics, too—about 50 seconds, which is a marathon by MTV bed standards.
Full disclosure: Nackman is the elder son of Barbara Nackman, a reporter for The Journal News. That said, I’ve been a fan of “Proximity” and other A-Nack tracks for a while now, so it’s nice to see the guy get some Viacom props.
After the break, find out what Alex had to say about being a part of one of the first series to define reality TV as we know it.
Reached by phone today, Alex said he learned four days before the May 16 finale that the song would be a part of it.
“There were 109 bands vying for (a song in) the season finale, so it was really cool,” he added. “It was just a really nice confirmation that the effort that I’m putting in is worth it.”
Nackman’s been on the rise lately. In February, he was a featured musician on MySpace.
His next New York City gig is scheduled for June 10 at Mercury Lounge.
