i want my mtv!!









'blogs, youtube, itunes,
spotify, deezer, amazon...we link directly to a playlist and let it do the work. there’s no unexpected magic. it’s not rock and roll. it’s safe.
which is why mtv, or some workable form of it, needs a comeback....!'
dreaming of...wouldn't it be wonderful to have hosts/vjs - crazy authentic music fans mad about pop-culture presenting the next big thing again...
