Hi Bo!

TK>> Here in Germay they tried to make it pay, but no one paid for it, so
TK>> it's now free tv.
BS> Okey. MTV has a localized tv station in germaney right?
Unfortunately it is now MTV Germany. I liked it better in the days it was  
MTV Europe. I really loved MTV's "Most Wanted" with Ray Cokes. That was  
really fun. I don't know if you have ever seen the show. But it was great.  
It ran for several years.

BS>>> VIVA is free as far as i remember.
TK>> Yes. It's a german music-station.
BS> Yeah but imho is MTV better.
It depends on what music you want to listen to. But mostly they play the  
Charts. My music is not found in the Charts. It listen to a lot of ska and  
this is not found there. I don't regret this. IMO there are many band in  
the undergroud that are much better than that chart-bands. They really do  
it for the music, not for the money.

TK>> Well, I think most of the remakes are just to get some more money out
TK>> of the old stuff. And most people think, hey new stuff. The
TK>> younger generation often don't know the original versions of
TK>> cover-songs.
BS> I'm kinda of the "young" generation (i'm 20), and i love listening to 80's
BS> even then i haven't heard them then they were new.
Well, I think often some techon-remakes are very poor. They take the hook- 
line of a well-known song and use it for their purposes. That's what I  
hate about that. The don't have the ideas to make whole song by themself.  
It's only the idea of making money, not of making a song or music. :-(
