MTV2 read QC?

(1/5) > >>

james101:
I reckon the people in charge of MTV2 over here in the Uk read QC, in the past week I've seen about a dozen songs from albums mentioned on the site or in a comic strip, the most recent being:

Autolux - Turnstyle Blues
The Futureheads - a few tracks
The Arcade Fire - Power Out
The Avalanches
The Books
A few Modest Mouse tracks

Considering the state of music over here (the crazy frog ringtone beat coldplay to number one) I reckon this to be a good sign.

QHD:
When do they play Modest Mouse, the Avalanches and the Books? I've never seen anything from them, except when Float On was big.

Arcade Fire and Futureheads are big in the NME charts - DUH they'd play them. Jeph is just the harbringer of good music for those of us who don't immerse ourselves in the indie music media. MTV2 plays what people want, and what they're paid to play (hence all that FOOKIN COLDPLAY). Mod Mouse are on Epic now and had OC play etc... if they were played it's because there's going to be a hyped single from them soon... the MTV2 dudes don't set the agenda based on this webcomic. It just so happens that an indie website and an ostensibly indie rock channel are going to collide in band choice at times.

That song is dynamite

Most of these are played at midnight/1ish, but still, I reckon theres a connection.  Or I've drunk too much coffee and my mind is playing tricks on me...

Me And The Moon Car:
MTV2 was much better when it was just a twenty-four-hour broadcast of music you get on the programme 120 Minutes (without any adverts!). 90% of my early music-buying was influenced from it when I was younger. Bands like Mylo, Spacemen 3, Clinic, David Byrne, Loud Reed, Mogwai, My Bloody Valentine, Flying Saucer Attack... none of whom you see on MTV2 nowadays. Mores the pity!
