Reasons to Watch MTV
* Kurt Loder: still our cadaverous Walter Cronkite
* Lucas' Lucas With the Lid Off video, directed by Michel Gondry: the only music vid to hold up to endless repeat viewings
* Ini Kamoze's Here Comes the Hotstepper video from the Ready to Wear (Pret-a-Porter) soundtrack: good hip-hop reggae, illustrated by scenes from the new Robert Altman film, and why do we get the feeling it's probably better than the whole movie?

want more Homer and fewer postgame shows!
