I like Alt TV

yes I do.
I like the way they mix up the play list
there is reminiscing, brand spanking, wild stylistic leaps, and enough rare things to wonder about.

here is some things I see I like

Kings of Leon "Charmer" best slab of Pixies since the Pixies did Doolittle I think. this took me back to RWP with deep voice, the bird and Robert Rakate so maybe 1989

The Heavy don't know the name of the cut but I liked the Bass line and the echo guitar

Luis Fiasco(?) "Superstar" only hear it 1. i liked the chorus melody.

and Otis Redding Live '67 Stax Europe w/Booker T and the MG's class this, look at the tempo changes, A Grade band.

my kids like the Kiwi girl/band(?) "just a song about pingpong" it's pretty catchy and I like her angry voice.

Hey Again

Alt Tv. I Like it, it's just little things that they don't do that gets to me guys. Like dude, why the hell not when you're dealing with incredible obscure music, would you not Mtv the opening/closing credits to songs and tell us under the name song what album the song is off ? Fuck, you want people to continually buy this crap to make what you do matter then do that ! Ohhhh Minuteman's " Political Song For Michael Jackson To Sing " is off their Double Nickels On The Dime Cd ! Ahh hey is this early early REM or Replacements ? Nope Modern Lovers ! Look says there, " Pablo Picasso ", " Modern Lovers", " Modern Lovers ". You know Modern Lovers Debut, was a self titled debut ?!? I don't believe you ! Yeah look, Abbey Vs. Alt Tv, Alt Tv Wins !!! Shut Up, Husker Du is on ! That's the other thing that pisses me off ! They're always playing the same crap and I realise it's small music station, still you would think the copious amount people they have had in out of place would only add to playlist. I mean I like Radiohead, Street Spirit ( Fade Out ) but yeah every three and half hours ?!? Bullshit ! That and the only thing else I hate about Alt Tv, it's typical student music station, so why when they had choice between chosing paying be on UHF paying to be on Sky Tv they choose Sky Tv ?!? How many student flats have Sky TV ? How many students can fucking fully afford University, Tuition, There Thesis, Winebars, Boxes Of Corona's, Cafe's, Corduroy's, Converses And Jeans Look You Guys Just Like So Much, Books, Stationary, Study and Sky Tv ? Not alot so why do it to your target demographic ? Sure Sky Tv bigger but it isn't better when the stats say it isn't where you want to be ! I don't know about alot of you guys but yeah that hurt like son of bitch when they switch to Sky Tv !!! Man I miss my Alt TV...

she sure sound NZ to me

yeah I have read elsewhere of the disenchantment the move to Satellite caused many who considered themselves the original supporters of Alt
tis a bind
because living in Chch obviously I quite appreciate the "expansion"

Lupe Fiasco's Superstar is amazingly ace.

Yeah Hey,

Yeah I agree that everybody else not living in Auckland the move to Sky Tv was good thing. Thing is they should start off small and work their way up or it won't work at all. Look at this way, how lame must it look to make out you're this super mega way awesome kiwi music tv station and you can't accept calls from outside the local Auckland, those sort of calls, are the calls you'll have to pay ! It's pathetic to watch people say it, when you know the rest music tv stations already have free dial numbers. It why maybe moving nationally wasn't good move cos you don't have money coming in to accept outside local calls, I would so seriously start thinking about focusing locally first, so I can eventually pay for the equally important things, like the phone bill...

thanks Jet

yes it is a bind subscription or access costs. the internet is no different
I have no solutions really
except being a hypocrite
because what happened to Alt is how a feel about Sky

basically Golf and Football paid the dues to get Sky up and going with a subscriber base. then as soon as it went digital all the football golf and tennis went to the expansion channels, which meant if we want football we had to pay more again.

guess which sucker did?!

I enjoyed the Jazz Show last night, "So What".
it was cool to hear the stories of the old Auckland scene and I dug the hosts trio performance and the clip of Keith Jarrett getting into it contorted style.

They should pay so it also goes on Saturn TV (wellington, maybe christchurch? cable tv). It's basically sky anyway, but no Alt TV. I feel like I'm missing out.

We came home last week to find that saturn/telstraclear's sky has ALT TV on it.
wee.

I know, I noticed it too - exciting :)

I would like to think that maybe, just maybe, my little rant somehow reached someone somehow who made the decision ... well probably they were going to do it anyway, but i can dream :)
