All right. Old school MTV. Ah, that was a sad day. MTV no longer with us. But
let's be honest,
it died a long time ago. Well, the second they stopped, somewhere after Carson
Daly,
Total Request Live, which was really amazing. It was sort of like American bandstand
for
millennials, which I don't know. It was such a great thing. You know, my wife
used to work at MTV.
One of the coolest things I ever did was I hooked up my nephew and my niece at
Total Request Live
through my lovely wife. And, you know, they were like, I don't know, 12, 13
years old. They were
fucking beside themselves. I mean, for their generation, that was like sitting
at, you got
tickets to the Ed Sullivan show and the Beatles were coming out. And that was
sort of the end of it.
And then Napster came out and all music, air quote, became free. And it just
imploded the business.
It was never a good business. You know, let's be honest. You know, it's just
one of the worst,
the way musicians are treated and get fucked over is just ridiculous. But like,
I don't know,
somewhere in the 2000s, we all just sort of left one collective sort of
conscious
type of thing as far as like bands, rappers and all of this stuff. And it's
just got all splintered. So
I guess the writing was on the wall. But anyway, this person says, hey, Billy,
nostalgia nuts.
I came across the website where someone has basically recreated MTV from when
it was still good and
streamed it online for free. What? What? Over 50,000 music videos and the only
ads are the old ones like
blockbusters and stuff like that. I'm sending this to Nia right now. I figured
you'd like it. And
hopefully word gets out because the person slash people that put this together
deserve the recognition
for making something so awesome. All right. The website is wantmymtv.vercel.app
slash player dot html. I hope you like it. And as always, go fuck yourself.
Dude, that's amazing.
You know, my wife late at night, she late at night. Oh, my God. Late at night.
Basically, 845.
We get the kids to bed. My wife is just cool as hell, man. She knows all the
cool stuff. So like she
somehow knew about these YouTube channels where these DJs play this music and
stuff. And I've
discovered more good goddamn music. Here's the latest person that I didn't know
existed who literally
has the voice of an angel. Cleo Soul. Is that how you say it? C-L-E-O, which is
my old dog's name.
Oh, Cleo. I still do that every once in a while. Where I drive by the vet. We
used to take her
to get her checkups. I always drive by and I just yell that out. Cleo, dee-o-dee-o.
Like my idea, heaven, you know, you meet your dog too. If the dog isn't there,
that's purgatory.
You know? Anyway, Cleo Soul. S-O-L. And the album I downloaded was Rose in the
Dark. And the first song
that I heard is When I'm in Your Arms. But this is one of these albums that you
can just, you know,
start with the first one and hit play. There's no filler on the album. She has
an absolutely
incredible voice. And I wouldn't know anything about her if it wasn't for these
DJs that my wife
is watching. So I'm going to hit her with that MTV thing. You know, maybe we
can one night go old
school. Old school Billy DJ.
Thank you.
