    yeah, MTVmusic is cool and nice, but you know what it lacks? the bangles<br /><br /> that's right. no 'eternal flame', no 'hazy shade of winter', no 'walk like an egyptian'... they're all gone!<br /><br /> and it's a shame<br /><br />

    Any idea how to circumvent the U.S. only requirement?

    A little Rap heavy for my tastes (come on, man, where's the prog-rock love?) but yes, I'd watch My RTV.

    i think the Flaming Lips's Turn it On is by far the best commentary on TV and bt extension MTV of the bunch.
