o.p.p. | mtv

 

being on that mtv payroll (knock on wood), the question's asked all day, where's the videos? obviously nobody could ever mean it. what jerk, be it the singer from a special new band or my sister's roommate at the college, has any cause to complain about television programming? why doesn't mtv play videos? same reason nbc doesn't play that bob saget game show anymore. because if they did, you wouldn't watch them because you don't actually want to, liar. now honestly, the question doesn't bother me and i always respond politely to the tune of "oh yeah, i know, i don't know, what a shame, god, i know, too bad, right?" but come to think of it, what a useless question that nobody really gives half a damn about the answer to, not unlike "hey, how are you doing." anyhow, here's what i'm getting at: as pointed out by the pretty much always nicely dressed tim with the red hair, the new mtv site, mtvmusic.com is "fun." and it's got a billion videos from all the artists. even that sleeper elton john jam with robert downey jr in the video and rock bottom riser and that tweaker lou reed thing where he talks your ear off unconvincingly about how hot he is on girls and, since we been talking about them lately anyway, a load of movies of the silver jews. good job, mtv. man. i thought this was gonna be like two sentences. sheesh.
