Mtv Haz Video?

Oh, wait. I'm a liar with mah pants on fiyah. It was VH-1 Nocturnal State I was watching at 4 a.m. this morning when I couldn't sleep.

When I flicked on the TV I was overjoyed to be seeing actual music videos. What a novelty on a music station, no? Seriously! There was no 'I Love Money', 'Exiled' or shots of Brett Micheal's swappin' spit with a woman who wears less make-up than him. It was... dare I say it... refreshing? I did have to swallow some hot vomit as his video, Fallen, played across my screen. I watched bleary-eyed as he sang about one true love or something lasting more than two minutes while all of Rock of Love's season two's ladies paraded across the scene. Gah!

If I wasn't suffering from insomnia and a bit off-kilter with balance I might have gotten up and danced on the couch as I watched Pink, John Legend/Andre 3000 and The White Stripes. Don't music labels and music networks know that sometimes you can fall in love with a song via the video? It's a lost world for sure.

I did however see one disturbing thing.

A commercial for a wonderful new box set of DVD classics which includes such titles as The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles. Yikes!

  1. I feel ya girl! :) I am always stoked to see actual videos, though I do have to say Brett Michael's Rock of Love both one and two were guilty pleasures of mine. I love watching someone else's life prove to be more a trainwreck than mine! ha!

    16 Candles and the Breakfast Club are indeed "classics" however, it is just further proof that we are getting old... sad.

  3. OH GOD! Not 16 candles and Breakfast Club!? Friend and I were just talking about how we hear Def Leppard, Poison, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc on Classic Rock radio now and what a travesty that is! Not movies too now!! AUGHH...

    Guess that makes us classics now too. Sigh.
