and yet she watches them. i know how she feels. it's a (insert bill walton voice) terrible show (/bwv) and yet i've watched several episodes. hatfield, a musician who has been releasing albums and selling them for hecka cheap via the internet for years realizes that she's stuck in a strange bind: if you really want to sell albums you've got to be on mtv in one of it's many forms. yet, to be a part of that beast kills you, eats at you, and contributes to the downfall of our culture. okay, mtv's not that bad, but you see what i mean, right?
read some more, if you like, over @ stereogum, who has a link to hatfield's myspace blog and you can even check out some of her new music there, too.
That is why I will not even look to see whats on MTV or VH1, ever. I know there is a chance I will get sucked in and then I will have to go through a period of self loathing while I wonder why I am watching such crap yet I wont turn the channel right away, and if there is a marathon on, forget about it. This is also why I love that they have tv shows on DVDs, I can actually watch worthwhile marathons and still get the highlights of the trashy shows on the Soup.

ReplyDeletei mean WORST. rock of love with brett michaels? yeah. and flavor of love? hell yes.
