mtv used to be great, you'd put it on and watch a video by echo and the bunnymen, then see a small cartoon based on a charles burns comic, then another video. maybe a good one! now it is just rob dyrdek's 24/7 distressed asset marathon

Some of the best filmmakers alive got their start making weird, surrealistic, experimental short films for MTV.

One of the most important people who made MTV cool long ago moved on to other networks. Fred Siebert was key to signature eras of MTV, Nickelodeon & Cartoon Network. You'd think he'd be the kind of person no media conglomerate would ever, ever let go, but nope. Hard to replace & it shows.

I remember learning about hum, eels, and flaming lips on mtv. Pretty cool era in music.
