Some wags call the tail end of summer the “dog days,” but your faithful reporter has managed to avoid making any messes on the floor of his family-room media center so far this month. Instead, he’s found the TV music video scene inexplicably easier to take, possibly because some changes are taking place, even at the long-dominant MTV.
I don’t have any hard statistics on this trend, but it seems to me that MTV is showing more metal videos these days, and not just in their specialized Metal Shop and Metal Mania segments. Metal videos are popping up on the average of once or twice an hour on MTV now, even during the evening prime time, and that’s up from zilch a few months ago.
