This Must Be It.

Music television is dead. But that's alright. Music videos can finally go back/become (of course unprofitable) art and genius shot movies that enrich the song. Instead of being promotional tools and, by chance, artworks.
Today's example of what music videos can be: Röyksopp - This Must Be It

MTV Commits Suicide

...basically. As I mentioned a while ago (and a lot of other people at a lot of other place, I'm sure) there isn't much Music Television left in Germany anyway. But now MTV Germany and Viva are cutting virtually every only half-bad, at least music related show on the program. Of course, they're blaming it on cost efficiency, etc.
What remains is a living corpse hold together by (reruns of) bad 'reality' shows by C-list celebrities like the daughter of Hulk Hogan. And dating shows for people who used to be in dating shows with B-list celebrities like Flavor Flav'. German speakers can check out more about this at Coffee and TV

Oh, and as a icy topping on the frosty remains of 'young' television: Viacom is also cutting the German version of Comedy Central into a sort of Nick @ Night with comedy show reruns.

Just go off the air altogether.

Schamlose Werbung für die gute Sache #7

Two days ago I noted on the lack of music on music televsion, Pascal over at nocheinblog.info picked it up.
Meanwhile, my pals in Union Hills decided to enter the MTV Rookie contest. You can now vote for our video for Tell Me Once and Fuck Me Twice. I'm not in the vid', as it's plain rockin', no recitin' . So do your part to get music back on the corporate airwaves, or simply do us a favor. Vote or diet.
