    What BoC track?

    Yeah, I've heard some FSOL, Aphex, and Squarepusher in their commercials too. It
seems that someone at MTV knows what good music is, but they must be kept locked up
in a storage closet somewhere.

    And what's this about MTV still airing "AMP"? Am I getting screwed out of their
only decent show because I live in the midwest? I haven't seen "amp" for over a
year! That's the deal?!
