MTV? Much? Whatever...............

Recently I've been seeing TV ads heralding the coming of MTV (To Canada? To regular cable? To your local cellular provider?). "The drought ends 21.03.06" All I can say is whoopdie-friggin'-do! Hear me now or listen to me later - the video channels have devolved into nothing more than a medium for cell phone advertising and acne cream. Puh-lease! Listen up Moses Znaimer. I don't want contests. I don't want movies or musicals about Elvis. No game shows. No VJ competitions. No reality shows about fans becoming their idol for a day. No cooking tips. No Top 10 countdown of the same stuff we just finished showing you in the last 30 minutes. No awards shows.

Just put together the kind of avante-garde music channel that showcases the music. 24 hours a day of non-stop, not-fit-for-pop-radio, new music, electronica, soul, jazz, alternative rock, classic rock, ambient, funk..... Life altering MUSIC! [waving hands frantically in the air above my head]
