I saw the mid-end of this last night. It's been one of the better things I've seen on tv lately. In the end I thought 'electronic music is next for the bastardizing whip'. I now understand why MTV USA has left it alone for the most part and chooses to remain publically ignorant.Because it doesn't appeal to the "mook". (The part about buying programming completely fit in with the 'cheapo' reputation MTV has amongst production houses.)
From someone who's into the repeat cycles of society, culture and the younger gens etc. I found the show really interesting and thought provoking. I think the most disturbing image was the room full of 11 year olds and early teens taking a break at the 'model search' to pump and grind on one another. I also found it interesting that the ICP crowd thinks sticking up the middle finger is the most interesting way to 'fight the man'. I wondered why these people channel that energy into anger instead of creativity. Why it was their minds went that way instead of others. I'll stop there...like i said...thought provoking. Basically, what it boils down to is...unless we break the cycle-we're our own worst enemy. *Re the part about ford: Ford is trying to label or brand Detroit techno.They want to own this. They want to reach a point where 'techno=cool=fun=Ford' and one owes itself to the other. I owe this eye opener to Miss G. The only way they'll own it is if its allowed. I'm not saying ban the DEMF or Ford's money. But rather, use them as the rich aunt. Sure, throw the money around all you want-but it doesn't mean I'm suddenly going to praise you or acknowledge you in my life liner notes. on a lighter note if you're in Ann Arbor, MI get on down to Stucci's and Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream-it's free ice cream for lunch day.:) tc d sorry so long. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
