Over the past ten years, we have seen a shift in music channels such as MTV and Much Music. They have stopped playing viewer hits and started succumbing to commercial television programming. Much of the programming they play are not even music concentrated such as MTV's hit shows Jersey Shore, Teen Mom, Ridiculousness, among many others. And our famed Canadian hit music channel Much Music has taken a huge step towards that trend playing anything from Gossip Girl, to Degrassi, to Punk'd. Sure these shows have great fellowship, but where has the music gone? This need makes music fans, such as myself seek alternate places to get my music video fix such as Youtube, and other online music sources. MTV and Much Music thankfully are aware, and do some good by posting music videos and albums on their website. You can go to http://www.mtv.ca/music/, and watch videos by the hottest bands, and artists and also listen to new album releases. I'm glad they have taken the time to do that for music fans such as myself, but gone is the day where you would see a plethora of music videos at 3pm on Much Music, now your stuck with the next best thing...Born to Be. I do commend Much Music for some of their shows that feature Canadian artists such as Disband, and Discovered, where new and upcoming artists are featured and are given a shot to release a studio album, but I really do miss the music.
I was recently on http://www.muchmusic.com/music/ and was introduced to the band called Los Campesinos, which I'm glad they featured because I quickly became a fan. Here's a song from their album for you to enjoy! To get more information about this band check out their official Myspace page.
