Ha! That was fun. Very Wes Anderson's Rushmore, I thought. (It wasn't actually directed by Wes Anderson, was it?)
 
 Thanks for all the links!

No, Aaron Stewart directed this video (he also performed on the album if I'm not mistaken).  Although he recognizes the similarities with Rushmore, he claims he didn't realize it until after he was done and people compared the two.
 
 I'm not sure I believe him, but he did a good job in tribute or subconsciously either way.

Yep - 9 videos, total, in a week.  20 commercials during those 9 videos.  There has to be a better way.

Stricly Global, which airs on MHZ in NoVA at 9 pm on Friday nights, plays good videos.
 
 
 Airs: Fridays at 9:00PM
 Broadcast in: English
 
 
 An hour long international music video show catering to the world scene, Strictly Global showcases music videos spanning every genre of music from around the world. Independent and underground, Strictly Global defies the mainstream music market, sharing an appreciation for music that ignores borders. Strictly Global highlights international artists that might otherwise be overlooked by mainstream media, taking its audience on a trek around the world every week.
 
 Strictly Global is not just about world music, itâ??s about music from the world.
 
 Strictly Global introduces viewers to music videos they won't find anywhere else. Musicians from Chile, Japan, Thailand, Mali, Russia, England, Australia, the Philippines, Venezuela, Germany and nations all over the globe are represented. Independent American artists from Folk, Zydeco, Jazz, Blues and Bluegrass replace the mainstream American Pop, Rock and Hip-hop music which dominates the nationâ??s airwaves. Strictly Global furthers independent media pioneer MHz Networks mission to promote intercultural understanding through intelligent programming and outreach-- celebrating both the diversity and universality of music.
 
 Strictly Global presents the viewer with as much diversity as possible. Hosted by producers Mike Leyva and Terrance Averett , Strictly Global provides a fresh approach to music. Mike and Terrance do not follow the traditional role of VJs youâ??d find on other music video programs. The music videos above all take precedence. Mike and Terrance function like radio station program directors. They appear in the beginning, introducing the show and previewing some show tidbits, and the end, closing out the show and prompting viewers to make requests through the website. The program format is video followed by video with no interruption. Strictly Global airs every Friday night at 9PM in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area on MHz Networks Channel 56 (WNVC).

Yeah, I like that show, but there really are way too many commercials.
 
 That Stephen Malkmus video is awesome.

So here's my plan, and I nearly brought this up in it's own thread a few months ago.
 
 I met with PBS last month to discuss with them how to solve one of their on going problems:  PBS does well to capture an audience when they're young (Sesame Street and Barney) and when your old (virtually all the rest of their programming), but has struggled to maintain a solid audience between 15 and 45.  Other than one-off show on a topic I'm interested in, the only TiVo setting I have for PBS is "Austin City Limits."  
 
 So I'm watching MTV and VH1 team up to completely make a hash of Live 8, and I just turn to the Internet to watch Live 8.  Later that night I caught Modest Mouse on "Austin City Limits" and I thought to myself "Why didn't PBS broadcast Live 8?  They would do an amazing job with something like this."  And that's when it hit me - if PBS really wanted to capture the 15-45 audience, why not fill a void that's left by so-called music channels?
 
 And I'm not talking about music videos (although I think there's something there) - why not record and re-broadcast SXSW, Austin City Limits, Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonaroo, and all of the other music festivals out there?  That's a sure way to get a large protion of the 15-45 market - there's something for everybody out there.  And it's not a large cost either as it wouldn't be live, this could be a great way for younger filmmakers to get some experience (and work on the cheap), and the archive could be permanently hosted and retrievable on a PBS web site (I dropped an "in high def for when fiber optics are the norm" and I lost them) similar to what KCRW does with the morning becomes eclectic.
 
 I also used some of the WOXY talk here to back up the potential for recovering costs (although it will not make any money).  Throw in DVD sales however, and I think there's money out there.

that sounds like a great idea for pbs... and there is probably some public access stations where material could funnel up from.  i know the arlington station shot the latest anti-war concert in dc for instance.

As expected, I'm having reasonably good success at the regional level, but they all say the same thing: distribution is handled nationally.  Unless it's created by the big 4 or 5 local PBS stations, it's hard to get it on the air nationally.
