i don't know what mtv channel you kids are watching, but the mtv channel
i've surfed on by for the last five years or so doesn't play something as
silly as a 'music video'.  so don't get your hopes up.  you might see a
belle and sebastian video played a total of, say, once, on the show called
120 minutes.  but last time i watched that, they were just playing old crap
and things that weren't exactly 'non-mainstream'.  plus, if you haven't
heard, mtv (and the rest of the kids), aren't exactly interested in sad,
gentle pop music.  more like, horrible, sexist, homophobic rock/rap or new
kids on the block clones or fifteen year old porn stars.  try to make
quality music, and the kids respond with a resounding 'NO, we want utter
CRAP, if you please'.
of course, i'm talking about american mtv.  i heard rumors that M2 and other
non-american mtv channels are much better.  M2 did have Bobby Conn as a
guest dj, so they can't be that bad.  but i have no idea where m2 is even
broadcast.  anyway, enough ranting.
anyone read a book called Ordinary People, by Judith Guest?  i just started
it.  it's pretty good.
sincerely,
kittenmouse
