I want my MTV?
over 2 years ago

It seems MTV plans to take back the planets young from places such as Myspace and Youtube by starting a whole host of websites designed to restore the 'youth culture' tag once worn by the network. It's planned websites will allow its users to watch, contribute and even re-edit MTV programs amongst other things. MTV Networks who own MTV will work with Viacom, but critics believe this could lead ...

I recently had my cable company do a little upgrading to my service. One of the big improvements that they promised was the fact that I would have four different MTV stations. I laughed when I read that it would be an improvement, but I thought I would wait and see what MTV had to offer. So, here it is the day of the change and I get MTV, MTV 2, MTV 3, and MTV Latino. I have gone through the st...

Telegraph Road Pt. 1

And so, On XM Fine Tuning, which plays classical stuff alongside progressive rock, alongside the Duhks, I hear the song, "Telegraph Road." [This song is one of my favorite Dire Straits tunes for a few reasons. I'm a sucker for a slow tune that builds into a rocking tune by the end. It clocks in at 15 minutes without an outrageous drum solo. Hell, they must be talking about something dramatic, r...

Telegraph Road

Telegraph Road," is the opening track of "Love Over Gold." In a little over 14 minutes, the song rises from a simple opening melody, evoking the loneliness of that man walking along a deserted track at the beginning of the song's story, to a final guitar solo. In between, there are no less than two other guitar solos, each of them over a minute long; dramatic centerpieces in their own right in ...

The six year latter follow up to Brothers in Arms.From AmazonOn Every Street is an amazing album, if only for its apparent refusal to exploit the success of its predecessor. Sure, radio programmers could hear echoes of "Money for Nothing" in "Heavy Fuel," or traces of "Walk of Life" in "The Bug," but Mark Knopfler wouldn't have waited six years to follow up the band's megaplatinum Brothers in A...
