and, sterling, I'm trying to avoid either/or's as much as possible, but it's like a gravitational pull.
But being a Yank, I'm not exposed to anything worthwhile anymore. Just think...in America VH1 is now PROVEN BY SCIENCE to be less cruddy than MTV. Thats not because VH1 is any damned good...it just goes to show how Cosmically Bad MTV has gotten. Back in the 80's the only show I watched was 120 Minutes with Dave Kendall. That was the only show that justified that stations existance... Ohhhh....sorry....I've gotten wayyyyy off-topic.
i might attack music i secretly enjoy, in the attempt to talk myself out of it, but i never champion anything i dislike.
And while i wish that there were more videos, and more variety, i don't care how i think i feel about the music, i'll watch any video, no matter the genre now.

Sure, but technical criticism seems conspicuous by its absence. I find that criticism that at least touches on the technical is far more interesting to me than criticism that does not -- especially in music, but also in other fields as well. Engaging the actual material of the work is one of the ways in which a critic can show that his/her theses have some foundation in reality.

Behind the Music is my ultimate nostalgic hangover binge watch these days. so easy to dial up any band on youtube and watch the VH-1 spin masters tell a tale as old as time.
anybody have any favorites? the hair metal bands tend to be the most fun. as much as i hate Guns N Roses as a band, there's a pretty awesome story there.
also i love the Red Hot Chili Peppers one mostly cos the narration by Downtown Julie Brown. everytime she calls them "The Chili's" it's so great.
