being a music channel that actually plays music.
So, when the TV show you are watching goes to the ad break, sometimes there's a fairly random old track on there..
Yestarday, did a switch, and got "Paradise by the dashboard light" to which our Alice goes "Yeah! My favourite...." but it's mostly over and it seems hella-edited.
Another night, switched the DVD off and "Only Shallow" MBV bursts through, a video I'd never seen (thought all theirs were psychedelic colours and blurs, but no this is a mime-along but still can't lipread the lyrics woe)

It's a good pick for random stuff.
e.g. "Rock Lobster" B52s, back when Fred had a moustache and the girls both looked about 15. Performance video. Probably their first.

Oh eyup, it's Echo & Bunnymen "Nothing Lasts Forever" but that's mainstream, right?
Now, it's Steve Hackett's choices, so hey I guess
