Hi Bo!

BS>>> Okey. MTV has a localized tv station in germaney right?
TK>> Unfortunately it is now MTV Germany. I liked it better in the days
TK>> it was   MTV Europe.
BS> Hmm.. i think MTV europe does still exist?
But it isn't aired in Germany. :-( I think it has even changed. Now it's  
the same as all the others. Back then it was *really* cool.

TK>> I really loved MTV's "Most Wanted" with Ray
TK>> Cokes. That was   really fun. I don't know if you have ever seen
TK>> the show. But it was great.   It ran for several years.
BS> I did only have MTV once at the cable, very sad they took it off agian.
About 10 years ago MTV was better. I've got a "Dire Straits Weekend" on  
VHS. :-)

BS>>> Yeah but imho is MTV better.
TK>> It depends on what music you want to listen to. But mostly they
TK>> play the   Charts. My music is not found in the Charts. It listen
TK>> to a lot of ska and   this is not found there. I don't regret this.
BS> I like some chart music but it's not mutch. They are not "ever green" like
BS> 80's (some Eurodance is imho every green too :))
I don't like the chart-stuff. There is too much prophit-thinking. It's no  
matter how good the music is. If it doesn't sell, their through with it an  
on to the next act. :-(

When I see those talent-shows here in Germany. They show the castings on  
TV an can be sure to have a star, even when the havent got a cd ready.  
They don't have any cost. The casting is sold to the TV-station, the  
audience can interact and choose the star. But they only take single  
persons who are willing to do *their* stuff. The don't support a band that  
works for several years and does their own stuff.

No. They would have an own opinion of what they would play.

TK>> IMO there are many band in   the undergroud that are much better
TK>> than that chart-bands. They really do   it for the music, not for
TK>> the money.
BS> Underground? What style of music?
Well. I listen to ska a lot. But it's difficult to get some cds over here.  
:_(

TK>> That's what I   hate about that. The don't have the ideas to make
TK>> whole song by themself.   It's only the idea of making money, not
TK>> of making a song or music. :-(
BS> Music and money has nothing todo with eachother, only for loosers.
Music is a passion. Thats it. If I can earn money with that, it's great,  
but I don't make it for the money.
