At the interest of myself not sounding so vain, this kind of rubbish seems to be written up by a adolescent person who secretly loves Hanson and the Spice Girls, but can't come to grips with music being played on TV. Check out what he (she?) has written about the AMP (PS: I didn't know this show aired 200 times a day, maybe I need to flip on MTV at more sane hours of the night): "Amp: Talk about jumping on the bandwagon. As soon as the rave/techno craze kicked into overdrive, you knew it wouldn't be long until MTV came up with a way to cash in on it. Behold, MTV Amp, a techno show that airs about 200 times each day. There are MTV Amp shirts, CDs, and posters. Buy buy buy. Techno. Techno isn't even music. It is just some asshole with a fucking keyboard and a drum machine. Nine Inch Nails aren't even a band. Atari Teenage Riot suck, and Prodigy are just another shallow, Manic Panic band. In a few months when the whole raver phase dies out, no one will remember these shitty "bands", and MTV will have another show dedicated to the latest fad." For being anti-TV (basically the rest of the page) this guy (gal?) watches alot of TV. MTV's upcoming show "Cool books read by top ten musicians" Rusty
