All they want is a sound that can kill from a distance: MTV!

The promotional film for "Experiment IV" has been
listed among the "new videos available to programmers" in
the December 20 issue of Billboard Magazine. Kate has again
directed, herself. With any luck this will mean that
"Experiment IV" will turn up on the "New Video Hour" of
MTV next Monday, or the Monday after that. It has not, however,
been listed among MTV's "new videos added this week." Incidentally,
MTV is undergoing a format change of sorts beginning next week.
Get this -- they're REDUCING the number of videos on their
playlist by more than 25%! They SAY that the number of "new
and emerging" artists whom the station covers (aside from Kate,
can anyone name a SINGLE "new and emerging ARTIST" ever shown
on MTV???) will remain the same...Boy, England, you're gonna
LOVE our MTV! I'll bet you just can't wait, huh?
