A LITTLE SEXUAL FRUSTRATION

>>211934325 (OP)
Record companies were so incredibly evil in the 90s before the internet showed up and fucked them up good.
They would literally "pay" a tv station or radio station to play the same song 20 times a day. They called it "heavy rotation".

>>211935410
how the fuck else was Limblifter's Tinfoil supposed to become a cross country ear worm, eh?

>turn it on in 2008
>drive my soul by lights is playing

>>211935410
Wow so evil

Anybody remember The Box Music Network? You could request videos via phone number

>>211936568
Yes. The only video they played was Blind by Korn. There were little messages from the viewers at the bottom of the screen saying hi to their friends and you paid a dollar or something to do it

>slinks through your early 90's Northern alternative consciousness

>>211934325 (OP)
I actually bought that album way back then and vaguely remember liking almost every track on it. I haven't listened to it in decades though.

That was a catchy song even though it was annoying

my step Dad would always call them Moist Creature...like that was the band name.

That’s a really good cam for ‘98

>loved Clumsy and every album after
>could never vibe with Naveed
Is something wrong with me fellow Xennials?

>>211937624
Damn, electric circus was one weird show. They just play dance music and random people from the street just join in on the dancing?

>>211937485

>>211936568
Yup i memeber

>>211935410
Payola has been going on since the 50s at least. The internet and mp3s really did drop a bomb on the entire industry. Too bad Napster took the fall for being the first to revolutionize tape copying. I mean file sharing

HELLOOOOO TIME BOMB

What music video gave you your first boner

>>211936613
I distinctly remember watching the boy is mine by brandi and monica.

Who /MusiquePlus/ here?

for me it was Big Sugar

>>211938997
I think they vetted the people a little bit like you had to show up in advance and someone with a headset and clipboard asked you to show her your dance moves and decided whether you're going to be allowed in and how close to the camera she's going to tell you to stand and dance.

My friend and I used to play the hell out the Big Shiny Tunes 2 CD in my parents garage while we smoked lol.

It was vetted. A lot of National Ballet School kids, and the producers would hit the clubs and raves to scout dancers. About 50% were invites, they’d bring some friends; add muchmusic/city tv staff/friends and maybe 10-15% would get face control from the crowd outside and get invited in. It was always a party outside in the street though. (Until some bridge and tunnel guidos or nigs started groping girls). I miss the Queens street Much studios and whole scene on that strip. You could get decent loaded at some of the dive bars, head to much and then the Rivoli or any of the live music places. Spend maybe $30-40 for a decent night before heading to pizza pizza or a street dog .

>>211940587
That was a mega hit back when I was in middle school

>>211943561
Too bad Toronto is a shithole full of pajeets and other shitskins now. Too be fair which Canadian city isn't a complete shithole now. What a depressing country this is.

>>211944511
It didn't use to be depressing, but maybe I'm lying to myself.

I remember Travis Barker’s side band The Transplants were on the Much Music countdown show and the lead singer started trashing Interpol’s Obstacle 1 after it played on the countdown. I don’t know why I always remember that and thinking it was lame

AND NOW I KNOW HOW FAR YOU'LL GO

TO BE THE NEXT FREAK SHOW

AMERICAN PSYCHO

>>211940575
This might be a mandela effect but I remember the "I Gotta Feeling" Black Eyed Peas video when it first released having a lot more nudity in it. Pretty sure I stroked it to it. It just disappeared one day and was replaced with a much tamer video

>>211944650
Turn on the bright lights is an incredible album

>>211944616
Young people in this country are absolutely fucked. There's no fixing or voting our way out of this situation.

>>211935410
The local rock station still plays 3 doors down and queens of the stone age. Muse doesn't exist.

>>211936663
Who? That is not concrete blonde or k's choice. Massively underrated and only heard them through a 90s compilation cd.

>>211934325 (OP)
For me it’s Rachel Perry in June of 2001 hosting Not Much On Day. Yep, that day landed right in the middle of puberty for me.

Interpol is fucking badass. That beetle music video is pure kino wonder. Little things sometimes do get stuck in your mind, like when some scientist made fun of food scientist on the colbert report or when a joke bombed on conans monologue.

>>211944511
Toronto can still be fun but yeah, most of the burbs are infested with jeets, chinks, nogs and slavcunts. Hell I used to go to Roncy all the time but now it's filled with crackheads, literal 60IQ fresh from the plane polacks and shitty leftycunt boomers and techbros driving prices up and making formerly cool areas lame. Surprisingly Quebec isn't as bad thanks to French mandatory policies filtering the shit out (except for niggers of course!)

>>211946210
>*sips*

>>211935334
It was a better time

90s Canada feels like a weird dream. We're so far removed from it that I'm not sure if it even really happened at all.

>>211948277
Same in the states, certainly in Europe and UK too no doubt. We're in NWO mode now, or shifting into full gear. It's hard to believe how good things used to be.

Canal 5 in Mexico was a kino programming block.
