kurt loder is enjoying that a little too much

in his defense it was the most serious thing he'd been able to report about in almost ten years
― death to ilx, long live the frogbs (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 21:49 (twelve years ago) link

he was good at gravitas not so good at simulating human emotion
MTV sux now. Bring back the 90's when they actually played videos. So sad that Kurt committed suicide. But why? Why Kurt? Hope that you are truly happy now.

you can tell that this person doesnt remember the 90s, because people were complaining that they didnt play videos back then too

I am sort of surprised that Loder is older than my dad.

i remember in '92 when they have this big "NEW MUSIC REVOLUTION" ad campaign to signal that they were finally retiring all those old Whitesnake videos and only keeping recent vids in rotation
the music programming on mtv was all anyone really talked about (other than the real world) until at least 96/97.
― death to ilx, long live the frogbs (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 21:54 (twelve years ago) link
i was actually thinking of just starting a john norris vs. kurt loder poll instead of polling all the mtv news personalities
― Ayatollah Colm Meaney (Princess TamTam), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 21:54 (twelve years ago) link
unless you were like REALLY into liquid television or something.
and b&b of course, but that was music programming too in its way.
― death to ilx, long live the frogbs (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 21:55 (twelve years ago) link
but i dont really want to leave all the soren partisans out in the cold
― Ayatollah Colm Meaney (Princess TamTam), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 21:55 (twelve years ago) link
kurt loder would destroy john norris in that poll
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 21:55 (twelve years ago) link
would vote soren if she were an option!
would vote altschul
― tylerw, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 21:56 (twelve years ago) link
Loder would totally win.

i dunno i feel like 'remember when they showed videos' as a jokey thing to say was gaining traction around 95ish

as always, wikipedia holds the key
"Launched on August 1, 1996, the original purpose of the channel was to give music fans a place to see constant, commercial-free music videos, once the original MTV had started to change its direction from music and concentrate on reality television and soap operas."

I attended the National Association of College Broadcasters convention in Providence in 1994 as manager of my college station, and at a panel hosted by some MTV people, I won a beach towel for being able to name all the original MTV veejays. I still have that towel.
