I Miss My MTV
I’d like to congratulate MTV for finally admitting – both to the public and to themselves – what the rest of us have known for years: That they just don’t give a damn about music anymore.
BEFORE
This week they unveiled a redesigned logo that removes the “Music Television” text from underneath the large capital M, which has been part of the logo since the channel launched in 1981. What they’ve done now is make the M transparent and filled it with images from the popular reality shows that have been the catalyst of their decline. It’s like you’re looking at a ghost of the network that MTV used to be, and you can see right through it and realize you’re staring at Snooki’s fake-tanned, fake-titted mug.
AFTER
(To be continued after the jump…)
I Just Can’t Get My Fill Of Music
Not that this means I can’t be satisfied with the music I have, of course.
So, since it’s been another lengthy hiatus from the ol’ blogosphere for yours truly, I figured I’d ease myself back into the fold with another Colin’s Collection post. Besides, there’s a big snowstorm coating my neighborhood with icy white powder and blocking off the doors with little walls of ice. And since shoveling efforts will prove to be quite futile until the storm stops, I’ve got nothing to do at the moment.
The view from my window as I write this. Where's Mr. Plow when you need him?
(Ah, the joys of shoveling snow. Remember when you were a kid and the snow used to be a lot of fun because you’d get the day off from school and you could go sledding with your friends? Yeah, when you grow up and you have to start shoveling it and driving in it, the snow gets a lot less fun. Growing up sucks, kids.)
But anyway, rather than making this all about the big snowstorm that’s been pounding the Northeast US all day, let’s get back to the point of this post: recent additions to my music collection! You can find them after the jump.
