Where It's At

On August 1, 1996 MTV2 launched worldwide. Here's a nugget of trivia for you that you can choose to share or disregard at your own discretion. The first thing to ever air on MTV 2 was Beck's "Where It's At" video. Good stuff. If you find youself in a situation where knowing the answer to that question is the difference between life and death...feel free to thank me.
The song itself is pretty unique. It was co produced by Beck and The Dust Brothers and features some interesting sound bites from an obscure sex education album titled "Sex for Teens: (Where It's At)".
They say you're supposed to learn one new thing every day. You're covered for Saturday May 10 my friends.
Enjoy Beck's "Where It's At"...

Early Morning Tony

A long time ago, as we all know (well--people my age and older at the very least), MTV used to play nothing but music videos. Eventually, they moved on to original programming which for a while was entertaining ("The State", "Dead at 21", "Remote Control")...eventually they lost focus and decided to make aneurysm-inducing shows like "The Hills", "A Shot of Love With Tila Tequila", and "My Super Sweet 16".
Eventually, music videos no longer had a place on MTV. The few videos you might find on the network seem to follow a simple formula:
1. Bright lights
2. More thongs=better
3. Smile so the world can see your grillz.

Long story short, the first regular feature (providing I don't get too lazy with it) on The Reach Around is "Music Video of the Day".
