well, i'd already seen a few of those videos (on, the box, and meccano), but what they showed wasn't too bad. yes, second bad vilbel is an awesome video. incerdible...i can't really describe it, though. and the bad sound quality didn't really affect this video. :) although it seems that only a few videos had bad sound quality (yes, the chemicals' tracks DOES have vocals), some weren't bad (ken ishii). but the videos were cool, but, personally, i felt the cooler part was that these sounds were emanating from my tv. :) i honestly never expected, in my lifetime, to be able to turn on mtv and see an autechre video. i personally don't care if mtv just keeps running the same 12 videos on amp--it shows their heart's in the right place. :) y'know, i think i could actually start liking mtv again...

This is exactly what I said to girlfriend when watching it. It was very strange to hear my tv speakers spitting out IDM.

I was in a coffeeshop reading mags when I came across a quote that might be of interest to some... It was describing a new Music television channel hosted by MTV known as M2. It is apparently all music (ironically enough) ie no commercials, no VJs, etc. just the vids. Also, it apparently was launched as of Aug.1st and about 1million people in America have the availablility to view this channel from cable... its also available via computer, but they didn't go on to tell how. The quote, though, is what I found most intersting. MTV's owner, I forget her name offhand, said just this, " MTV is junk pop culture that tells people who to be, what to like, and basically defines who they are. It is for people who need to be told. Then there are the people who know is cool and just want you to provide it. M2 is for those people." Junk pop culture, at least she knows what she's selling...
