radio and video trying to kill the Hip? - dead_parrot - 10-08-2002

Hi there:
First time poster, long time fan.

I live in Charlottetown PEI, and for the longest time I didn't have cable. So needless to say I wasn't able to see a lot of the hip videos (except for ones that I find online). I am temporarilly staying at my brothers place and am pleased to find out they have cable. I have been here for a week now and have been looking day in and day out for the new Silver Jet video. I've seen Courage and ABAC....but not the new video. How long has it been out? I can see Much Music not playing it but I expected Much More Music to be putting it in heavy rotation. I don't even see It's a Good Life being played.

And as for the radio doing our favorite band in. My radio station here on the Island has not played one track from the new CD. In fact the only song of theirs that they play anymore is ABAC.

Is it just me or is the interest in covering the Hip dwindling? I really wish this wasn't the case.

Oh well....I'll keep looking for Silver Jet through the multiple showings of the New Shaggy and Bon Jovi videos.

i agree,
i have been watching at least 2 hours of music videos each day on either station trying to catch a glimse of the elusive silver jet, but to no avail.
i was thinking about emailing a request in to much music but they only seem to want to play requested songs if they come in in huge numbers.
maybe we should oganize a "let's-send-them-a-shit-load-of-emails" until they play the song.
(this has been pissing me off for a while now)

I have also been watching muchmusic and muchmoremusic in hopes of seeing the silver jet video. I usually check every commercial, or keep the tv on mute when i am doing other things. But i end up turning it off because all muchmusic plays is shite.
