We must realize that MTV is a business, and it is in the best interests of
a business to become as profitable as possible. Right now, MTV seems to be
doing right well for itself, despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that
it is full of crap programming that seems to be geared exclusively to the
lowest common denominator. I try not to watch it, but it can be
entertaining if only for the fact that the fast-moving, constantly changing
barrage of auditory and visual stimuli somewhat mimics a drug-induced state
of consciousness (perhaps the real key to its success). It seems that
everybody out there hates MTV for one reason or another, but I don't think
that MTV is there to play videos that you like, it is there, really, just
to make money. Thus, we should respect it for that, since it is doing such
a good job. Perhaps someday us IDM people can get a bunch of IDM videos
together and have a film-fest. You can even use my friend's estate, if you
wish. I think that would be closer to what you are all looking for anyway,
n'est ce pas?
