i love nostalgia.

I watched a jesse camp video the other day.

I'LL SEE YOU AROUND!

whatever happened to jesse camp i wonder? surely he died of an overdose.

Camp held his position as an occasional TRL host for one year. Upon leaving he attempted to parlay his MTV fame into a music career, announcing the debut album of his band Jesse & the 8th Street Kidz on the Hollywood Records label. The album sold poorly, and Camp's band was soon dropped from the label. In late 2006, he was reportedly working at a Los Angeles-area pet supply store. In 2008 he began working at The Quarter Lounge, a bar near downtown Seattle

is that from the days when music television played music?

it sure is...probably hard to imagine for the youngunz.

I watched MTV pretty much straight from 1981-1991.
I saw the decline, the increasing reliance on shows instead of music videos. it was horrible. Remote Control, the game show, started it all.

the beach house shit was the end of it for me.

The Real World was the end for me.

Somewhere in my house I have 2 uncut hours of 1993 mtv video programming. Top 100 or something. I remember Meat Puppets backwater, Smashing Pumpkins Rocket, Toni Braxton, Domino, US3, Guns N Roses estranged
