adventures of mascarah.

I've just begun a new decade. Sigh.

I have always wanted to be "a writer" but I'm lost somewhere in the prologue...whittling away at a story I may never tell.

Likes: pop culture. my chihuahua. architecture. modern art. elizabeth street. contemporary designer apparel. food. travel. foreign films. speakeasys. live music. politics. hot sauce. surprises. running in the rain. strangers. wednesdays. fearlessness...and 100s of other random things... maybe even you.

A southerner by birth, northerner by the grace of God, I'm simply a nyc gal who is lost somewhere on my constant exploration of the city and the life,love, and pursuit found within it.

If you are so inclined... sap {at} lifelovepursuit.com

ahomeboyslife: The weeks prior to the FNMTV premiere almost seemed like a setup for the show’s premise. Two hours of videos in the morning, one hour of TRL in the afternoon, and 21 hours of Made reruns, the new roommates on The Real World, etc. That made for 23 video plays on Wednesday, June 11, and 21 on Thursday, June 12. (Note: A “play” may not be an entire video; it’s just enough of a clip to be counted as a by the computers charged with tracking these sorts of things.) FNMTV premiered June 13, and you can see a huge spike in the number of music videos played: 50 video plays were tracked this past Wednesday, while 58 were tracked yesterday. Although that just meant you got to see at least part of this clip some 11 times over the two days— —as well as that painful Boys Like Girls video 12 times. Is this an improvement? Maybe, although that depends on whether you value Lil Mama over A Shot At Love II. Is it fair to say the music video is back on MTV if only three or four music videos (and a few live performances) get added to the channel’s rotation each week? Will this whole thing be out the window by the fall? I’m still a little bitter that all we got of “Bastards of Young” was 30 talked-over seconds, so maybe I’m the wrong person to ask.” idolator.com I am rarely home when FNMTV airs on Friday nights, but I DVR it, mostly because I hope that it counts and I am doing my little part to kill shows like Shot at Love with Tila Tequila and bring back the music.  I miss the music. I miss the videos. Some might think that it just will never be the same on MTV (or any other television channel) but I am hoping that the Sweet 16ss will run their course and the music will return. I’m grateful that Pete is trying to help make that happen. I know many of you are passionate about music, interested to hear what you think about it? I shortened his thoughts to save some space :), you can read them in all their fabulosity here.
