3 hours of MTV from 1983

^^ A brick & mortar store where you went to buy music? That's crazy talk!

We had a little store near my high school where we would stop and read the top lists each week. Save up to buy a 45 or two.

My family never had cable so I relied on Friday Night Videos on NBC for my music videos.

Yea, i definately remember Friday night videos and Night Tracks from TBS. I can sit and watch these all day long, this was a fantastic time even if some of the music was forgetable. I remember sitting up all night long with one tv going and another tv right beside it playing atari until we couldnt stay up any longer. great times.
Who besides me feels the music industry has really suffered without the coverage and excitment that the Mtv experience was?

That's what I meant when I posted "seems music was everywhere in those days. Radio, MTV, and I remember any given mall where I grew up had at least 2 or 3 music stores. Was at a mall here last week and no music stores exist here anymore."
Of course nowdays everything is different we all know that. You could say the same thing for T.V. shows.
And yes I miss the Brick and Mortar stores that I used to go to.

i miss actually going to the mall and seeing actual movie and record stores and an arcade! i use to get a rush going to a record store. mp3s are starting to lose their appeal (except when im off somewhere, of course)

I didn't have cable and would have to mooch on my friends to watch MTV. It was a event, I couldn't get enough. Talking Heads, Devo, INXS, ahh
