Heh heh... They sure as hell DID play it. And funny how this happens
after "Firestarter" withered under a torrent of derisive email on this
very list.
Maybe MTV _is_ listening in on the ol' IDM list. So at the count of
three, everyone go chaotic with your opinions. This week, Bowie and
U2 will be The Redeemers Of IDM; then, once they hit AMP, we slag MTV
for playing such shit. Every few days, we start praising others. In
turn, their appearance on AMP will be the cue to unleash on how they
suck and MTV sucks more for following so blindly. It could be a nice
cycle of unending fun, if done right.
Of course, we'll need another list in the meantime where the real
reviews, debates, and discussions of what is good can occur...
Oh well.
Prepare to be canned, airbrushed ("Glorified!"), and sold to the
public at large. Your happy image will soon be selling beer, new cars,
and even more wonderful things!
Relax, it won't hurt much -- not at first, anyways. The process
probably hasn't even started yet. IT WILL BE WONDERFUL!
