even worse, they tend to play the same songs for a couple weeks straight ... if you only have 1 hour of indie programming in a 168 hour week, why play the same songs over and over?!?!
plus, the staff assembling the show seems to be intern-heavy, they often screw up the video info before/after songs and sometimes accidentally play the same song twice in a night
sheridan also blows, but that's why tivo is so fucking great, just fast forward through him and the crap songs to get to the good stuff.
also, you can get all these videos online now (unlike in the 120mins days), but i think part of the fun is seeing these semi-obscure bands on the tube for all (who have premium cable/satellite) to see.

Caught the last ten of "Subterranean" on MTV2 last night. Despite the fact that I want to throw bricks through my television everytime I see Jim Sheridan, overall decent music. I wonder, though, why the show has been relegated to a single hour? It just makes me long for the days of 120 minutes, which in addition to supplying me with two hours of obscure music also had better hosts for the most part.
Did any of you ever tape those? Specifically, there was an episode where Thurston Moore hosted, and his musical selection was just phenomenal.
