Sinister: Letter to PBS

[Matthew A. Neimark]

Everyone who, at least lives in this great land of the free and home of the brave, should write to those bastards on PBS and DEMAND that they put the PBS sessions back on.  It seems like every band they have there has either been around for 40 years, or has commercially crossed-over.  The only true independent and contemporary band they had as of yet was Tindersticks, and they didn't even do so great a job.  That makes PBS (didn't they show the Fleetwood Mac reunion tour and the incredibly pathetic music of John Tesch) just as bad as any of the major networks and that includes FOX.  What will they have next, the Kathy Lee christmas special?  What are they worried about?  Higher ratings?

Now I'm sure a lot of you guys are frequent contributors to PBS (I'm not) so you can use that as weapon when you write your letters.  We will get them back on!!

PS The magnetic fields do indeed have videos.  I believe most feature some sort of unisexual character that might be Stepen Merritt's current lover.  I have "Born on a Train" and "Strange Powers" myself on the MUNCH II video compilation
