That looks pretty cool. I checked out www.metelevision.com, which is the city of Austin's "Music & Television" page. It looks like a very serious effort to be what MTV could have been. The lastest music news headline is/was.....

New Nine Inch Nails song found on a usb drive in a bathroom in portugal
"My Violent Heart.mp3" was found on a flash drive in a bathroom at the Libson, Portugal show.

Thanks for the tip, That Guy.
