I Want My MTV!
Jenn Peterson | Graphics Manager

MTV remembered what their 'M' stands for last week. Last week was Spankin New Music Week, which featured new videos from a plethora of artists, both new and old. I was watching MTV all week long. I actually wanted to watch MTV. Every time I turned on the tube, there were videos on; I couldn't believe it. And it wasn't just teeny-bopper pop like Britney and N'SYNC, it was real bands of all kinds.

I also wasn't subjected to Real World re-runs and episodes of Spyder Games or Undressed. I actually saw music. Real videos made by rock stars. I saw tons of new videos from hard rock and metal artists like Ozzy, Sevendust, Saliva, Puddle of Mudd, Kittie, Rob Zombie, Alien Ant Farm, U2 and more! They featured new videos by rap and hip-hop artists also, but I didn't catch those because of my love for rock. I bet the concept of continuously showing videos won't happen too often on MTV for a while. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if some of these videos are never seen again.

But for one week, one glorious week, they showed video after video of good music and I'm thankful that MTV remembered what the M stands for(it's MUSIC if you've forgotten also). If you were watching MTV last week and loved seeing all the new videos as much as I then I say that we should get together, raid TRL and proclaim that we want our music! Hey, it just might work.

As expected, MTV went back to their normal crappy schedule after the Spankin New Music Week. Oh well, what's on VH1?
