I remember my friend in high school having MTV, shortly after it began. For me, the thrill was short-lived; I preferred my own imagination over some fabricated images they thought I should see in my head when the music played. Yet, there have been some great videos.

Video did indeed kill the radio star.

I remember going over to a friend's flat just to watch satellite TV. He had just moved in with his brother who was a store manager at Dixons (retail chain specialising in electrical). They were the first of us to have their own place - those of us not living at home were in shared houses.

We went over the week he moved in specifically to watch the X Files and returned every week for the next few months from what I remember.

When the X Files finished we flicked around the channels for the rest of the evening unable to agree on anything. After a certain amount of bickering we often ended up watching MTV because you didn't have to concentrate on it. Even in the early 90s I wondered what all the fuss had been about, and where the music was. If you managed to catch music, sod's law said it was a special on a genre you didn't like.

vh1 also plays good movies relating to music on their Movies That Rock. That's where I first saw The Last Days of Disco and fell in love with Kate Beckinsale and Whit Stillman scripts.
