rockfeedback TV begins on MTV2 tomorrow night (August 17), and to celebrate this transferring of rock-born opinions from the web to your telly, DiS has a few money-can't-easily-buy records to give away.
The show begins at 11pm tomorrow night, and features tour footage of Eagles of Death Metal (pictured) alongside cameos from The Futureheads and Foo Fighters. And Brian May. For real.
According to its makers, the show's "weird, surreal, and essential viewing: on the tourbus, backstage, and even in the toilets". Consider yourself told. Expect future encounters with everyone from !!! and Battles to The Automatic and Hot Chip via Sonic Youth and The Knife. Diversity, it seems, is the name of this televisual game.
Look here for more information.
So, to that giveaway... we've three Eagles of Death Metal white-label seven-inches to award to three lucky winners. Wanna win yourself one? (I'd like one m'self, actually.) Just e-mail me with the answer to this question...
If The Eagles were actually a death metal band, what hotel do you suppose they'd stay in with no little regularity?
A) The Hotel California?
B) The Hotel Cannibal Corpse?
C) The Hotel MC CrabbyCrab?
Send your answer, plus your name and address, to...
COMPETITION CLOSED!
...and I'll pick some winners and fire a slab o' wax their way sometime in the next week or something. Unless I keep them all. HA HA YOU CAN'T STOP ME...
sounds like the same old mtv2 to me
A smattering of good music mixed in lots with tripe like The Automatic and The Poo Biters.
120 minutes should really be extended to be called... erm... what's 24 by 60?
The Poo Biters
made me laugh a lot more than it should have done.
i literally want to punch some people in the face
what do you expect a commercial concern to do? only film sonic youth playing a b-sides set and broadcast that 24 hours a day 365 days a year.
120 minutes is glorious, and i've a feeling this will be really good too, but for fuck's sake you can't expect any concern to survive in a business world when a playlist is constructed only from bands who sell 1,000 records to beardy indie kids in rough trade.
we're a lot better catered for than we ever have been.
If you think you're hard enough - outside!
Apologist. It's that sort of rubbish thinking that has resulted in 20 music channels playing exactly the same bland pop music, and even if you can stomach the tunes, any sane person is unable to watch them for longer than half an hour because of all those fucking moronic ringtone ads.
There's should be a balance to everything, but there certainly isn't in the world of music tv.
Agreed
Thank god VH2 went under, it played the most pedestrian indie imaginable. MTV2's best section is 120 Minutes, but it would be nice to have a bit more invention in the day time.
Isn't it also on at 8
or something? Eeh, can't remember...
The show tonight was bloody fantastic. Needs more promotion!
THE WINNER IS...
Rhian Daly of Saffron Walden, Essex.
WELL DONE
oh there needs to be two more...
wait a mo.
