/Why/ is it that all the good music is on TV late at night?

This is very true about Much. George gave a decidedly credible slant to what seems to be an increasing slide into endless reapeats of Nick & Jessica and MTV Cribs.
I do appreciate the fact that they do show like the Wedge, Loud, and the Punk Show, but even on these programs they tend to stick to a pretty standard run of videos that get played quite a bit. They do have an occaisonal oddity pop up every now and then, but it's pretty strictly what's more or less currently in fashion with the crowd they're appealing to. Can't say I honestly blame them for doing that but I just wish that there was a bit more variety. I had Loud as a station for a while and it suffered in very much the same way the half hour show did...it is very much like radio around these parts, with a playlist that repeats every hour or so.

For serious.

The only time I didnt pour bleach in my ears after the OC was when they once played some Blind Melon at the beginning of an episode

Have you seen 'The Hits'?
Oh dear sweet fuck.
At least it galvanised me into getting my little sister to like good music.

Pinfield is the Senior Director of A&R and Artist Development for Columbia Records and also recently signed a deal with Sirius Satelitte Radio to do a weekly show.
And yeah, 120 minutes was pretty alright, but it could never hold a candle to Kennedy era Alternative Nation. <3 kennedy. I used to watch Alt Nation every day just to see the video for "Seether" by Verucca Salt because that was the only time they played it.
