My long lost life…

Sometimes I get desperately nostalgic. As horrible as my awkward junior high and high school years were, I miss that time when the biggest bands were sloppy, angry, and arty. There was a magic to the post Nirvana pop music landscape; for many, that magic was visualized by Mtv.

Cliche’ or not, I’m gonna talk about it one day, and the heart breaking digression into madness and lowest-common-denominator sleaze (as opposed to the wonderful and important musical madness and sleaze) that started in ‘92 with the Real World. But in the mean time, I suggest that all check out Steve Hyden’s head-shaking article over at the AV Club; I don’t agree with everything he says, but he certainly has some good points, especially from a business perspective. After all this time, ripping the music out of Mtv still hurts.
