I live Down Under too, but I'm pretty sure that Channel V plays clips from MTV.

I don't get that channel, but I don't think I'd like it because it's mostly all reality shows and stuff. Plus I'm not that big on most of today's music and that's probably the kind of video's they show. I used to like it some in the early 90's.

Yeaah....I don't watch much tv because it destroys the mind. I'll watch the local news....movies usually bore me unless it's something that Wows me...my younger sister watches mtv...every time I see what shes watching, it's the same damn thing....The whole teenage dilemma scenerios, and world of dating and reality tv is pretty cheap. TV in general is pretty pathetic...it takes away from real human moments and communication.

See... By not watching Tv you think your higher/better and place pitty on those Tv watchers? If it makes them happy go for it if they enjoy it why not.. its there life let them spend it how they want, and as for it being pathetic, Why is that? Because it entertains people? What is it that makes it so pathetic?

MTV dont make the clips the record labels make them then sell them to variuos TV channels... Its not that they're made for MTV... i could make my own channel and by the song/videos and play them... Its just that MTV plays them... Channel V and MTV play the same thing cause they purchase the same product... and yes AUS has MTV!

Hi
I'm your video DJ
I always talk like I'm wigged out on quaaludes
I wear a satin baseball jacket everywhere I go

My job is to help destroy
What's left of your imagination
By feeding you endless doses
Of sugar-coated mindless garbage

So don't create
Be sedate
Be a vegetable at home
And thwack on that dial
If we have our way even you will believe
This is the future of rock and roll

How far will you go
How low will you stoop
To tranquilize our minds with your sugar-coated swill

You've turned rock and roll rebellion
Into Pat Boone sedation
Making sure nothing's left to the imagination

M.T.V. Get off the
M.T.V. Get off the
M.T.V. Get off the air
Get off the air

See the latest rejects from the muppet show
Wag their tits and their ****s
As they lip-synch on screen
There's something I don't like
About a band who always smiles
Another tax write-off
For some schmuck who doesn't care

M.T.V. Get off the air
And so it was
Our beloved corporate gods
Claimed they created rock video
Allowing it to sink as low in one year
As commercial TV has in 25
"It's the new frontier," they say
It's wide open, anything can happen
But you've got a lot of nerve
To call yourself a pioneer
When you're too god-damn conservative
To take real chances.

Tin-eared
Graph-paper brained accountants
Instead of music fans
Call all the shots at giant record companies now

The lowest common denominator rules
Forget honesty
Forget creativity
The dumbest buy the mostest
That's the name of the game

But sales are slumping
And no one will say why
Could it be they put out one too many lousy records?!?

M.T.V.-Get off the air!
NOW-The Dead Kennedys

You're absolutely right, and I sincerely belive that as well. I just prefered not to get into deep detail because I tend to elaborate too much at times. I will say however, that whatever that particular individual likes is fine with me...whether that be watch tv....or sexual preference, or if they're black or red...or if they do drugs....thats their choice. Which is why I love humanity and the diversity between us.

i remember mtv never played much music that i liked, but my biggest problem with it was that they didnt play much music at all. most of their 24 hour block is reality shows, in addition to that, i hear mtv wants to come out wit their own separate reality channel. but i dont complain, after all there is a remote to yer tv.

whatever! 12-17-2004 12:59 PM
