Clarification: The original poster is posting from a .nl address. This means the MTV in question is MTV Europe, or I miss my guess. Presumably all the MTVs around the world just call themselves "MTV". (When was the last time you saw a promo for "MTV USA"?) This often leads to mass confusion.

It's difficult to avoid them on MTV-Europe. In fact, it's difficult to avoid them in Europe full stop. They're okay, that's all. adam

And to add, if we go back a little further you all might remember a group called Freur which created a nifty little tune called "Doot-Doot". This was one of Danny Hyde's first incarnations prior to Underworld. Granted this may not have been played on MTV... ;-)

Yes they have... I distinctly recall Matt Pinhead or whatever his name was announcing "we've got new videos from blah blah, blah blah, and Underworld coming up on 120 minutes" a month or longer ago...

Yes, and they did the same thing for Orbital - The Box, and the result was that Orbital was on as the last video of the program at 1:55 a.m. - just to make sure that it didn't cause anyone to turn off the rest of the program. :-) You could probably come up with an interesting tape just by taping the "120 minutes" show from 1:55 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. every week. :-) Cheers, Ken <*> kstuart@mail.telis.org "You think you are thoroughly disillusioned, don't you?
