- Last Thursday I wrote a letter to MTV (well, specifically, Kennedy) to
- give them my comments about Alternative Nation, their new "alternative"
- show (weeknights at 12:30am).
-
- Anyway, I said that I was glad to see MTV doing this, but I wish that
- they would show some older, more "alternative" videos, instead of The
- Cure, NIN, Ministry, etc. that currently hog up the hour.
-
- Well, today (12/22) I received a call from the music director of the
- show. He thanked me for writing, etc etc... He said that he too would
- like to see more of the type of stuff that I had requested, and that
- he'd work with management to see if he could. He hinted that their plan
- is to lure in viewers by showing the more popular side of alternative
- right now, and then slowly move in with more obscure stuff.
-
- I also said that Kennedy's theme song should be "Kennedy" by The Wedding
- Present. He said that she was pretty excited about having such a theme
- song. I think she loves me. Heh heh.
-
- Anyway, here's the address to write to that show. If everyone would
- flood them with "like" letters, I think that MTV would cave in and start
- showing more Negativland and less Depeche Mode during that show.

- Cool, cool.
