Saweet concept that is worth checking out. They have a concert series that plays every night at 7 & 11pm. ME is a great way to find new music and hear the music that takes you back to "I remember where I was when I heard this song for the first time." TimeLine is my favorite show, however I love Autopilot and ME Live!

MTV for god's sakes! Just take a step back and look behind yourself. See that hill? You went over it a long time ago.<BR/><BR/>Also if you had really think about what you were watching TV you would see that WE were the ones who laid the foundation for the programming that MTV now has. Umm remember the real world!? If teens are watching shows like that it's because when we were teens we loved shows like that. A show that came on over 15 years ago! MTV only puts on that their audience wants. So this generation of kids don't know MTV any differently than what it is now. The way we made it. If they put a piece of rotting flesh on there and it got huge ratings they would put it on there. ANY TV channel would.Marcelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596008750204542784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9960675.post-79428597090938295592008-01-08T10:43:00.000-06:002008-01-08T10:43:00.000-06:00I just stumbled upon this illustration: http://www...I just stumbled upon this illustration: http://www.flickr.com/photos/loonyworld/2176802982/Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164869290654248977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9960675.post-14486219495710334042008-01-08T09:28:00.000-06:002008-01-08T09:28:00.000-06:00I could not agree any more.

But, not everyone has it. I too remember the days of growing up with the good MTV of the 80's and 90's. I am a 27 year old guy (maybe the same age as this author, or close)and I feel the same pain. I can't count how many times I've heard people say "Oh, wow, I've never seen the video for this before" in the last 5 years. You would think that someone could step in and take over the realm of TV that was once MTV. I've watched FUSE and a few others and at this point....it seems that YouTube is the closest rival.

MTV is behind in the dustbin of my life. <BR/><BR/>Too bad, because it did help kickstart the career of many artists at one time. <BR/><BR/>I love what has happened in terms of choice and access to artists. Lets face it though, there are no new superstars breaking through to what used to be known as the big time in show biz. That is unless you wanna watch CMT. <BR/><BR/>Rock and Roll needs a better TV station than what is out there. There is such a breathtaking lack of a true outlet in cable TV for new bands. Someone with the money and cajones could really upstart the so called music stations if they tried.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483907864490569414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9960675.post-9587301189459794872008-01-08T01:07:00.000-06:002008-01-08T01:07:00.000-06:00There used to be a day when MTV was the voice of t...There used to be a day when MTV was the voice of the Youth of America. Bill Clinton actually went on MTV and talked to 18 - 24 year olds and got their vote. Now MTV has basically abandoned any and all social issues, MTV news does not exist. MTV is all about the lowest common denominator of entertainment. The last 5-6 years will be looked at as the low period in MTV's existence. As a person who basically grew up with MTV, from MJ's Thriller, the MTV music Awards, Yo MTV Raps, The Headbangers Ball, Nirvana, the Monsters of Rock, Rockumentarys, Unplugged. The station was about youth culture and music/movies that appealed to the youth of america. The youth of America still tackles the same issues, the only difference is that you don't have a television station to show you that people all over the country are just like you. Now you get MTV showing you that you are different because you are not hot, cool, rich, and you have no friends. MTV has become the cool girl/guy in school. Unfortunately us 26-32 year olds are the people who new MTV before she/he was cool. Hopefully MTV will learn who its true friends are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9960675.post-22326991778402735512008-01-08T00:34:00.000-06:002008-01-08T00:34:00.000-06:00Vote Ron PaulVote Ron PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9960675.post-3129135847806566782008-01-07T23:58:00.000-06:002008-01-07T23:58:00.000-06:00mtv is freaken myspace.com on tvmtv is freaken myspace.com on tvMukbang Abu Dhabihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10028948079258392737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9960675.post-57502342408695540932008-01-07T23:44:00.000-06:002008-01-07T23:44:00.000-06:00I remember watching Bone Thugs & Harmony as a kid ...I remember watching Bone Thugs & Harmony as a kid and thinking they were the coolest people oh earth.<BR/><BR/>*sigh* those days are over.

Whether it was cult movies like Attack of the Killer tomatoes or the Rocky horror picture show, and concerts on the weekends like Alice Cooper, 120 minutes or even remote control. My personal favorite was Beavis and Butthead, and wow did they play that to death. But still, it was founded on the idea of giving people music in Stereo, and they've drifted from the path. I think it sends a message to the youth of today as well, telling them today's music sucks and doesn't matter as much as entertainment.

Music videos had their era, and now realty tv has its era. Soon a whole new genre will become the rage - what that may be, I have no idea. But you can't blame the MTV for going with what is working, with what the audience responds to and wants. It is unfortunate that music video cannot exist side by side with the reality programming, but that's just the way it goes. People might make the same argument for the internet, in all the new trends taking over: Facebook, MySpace, Catster (yes, that does exist) or even Digg. Media changes, and we just have to accept that it does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
