SNUB

[RpK%acorn@oak.lcs.mit.edu]

SNUB is a half-hour video show on USA Network's Night Flight that focuses
on the British indie scene.  Unlike ``120 Minutes'' on MTV, this means
they DON'T play Cure, Siouxsie, Echo, etc.  Instead, there were videos
from Wire (Ahead), the Soup Dragons, and Pop Will Eat Itself.  Then
there was a look at Rhythm King, a hip-hip/rap label that's been doing
well -- they've got Schooly-D (from Baltimore), a few indigenous rap
acts, and a group called Renegade Soundwave that a great ominous rap.
And if that wasn't cool enough, the theme is done by the Barmy Army,
a/k/a Adrian Sherwood and friends.

This show packs a lot into 26 minutes.  It seems to be produced by the
people at the Catalog, a magazine for the British indies.  (You might
remeber I sent out a list of new releases gleaned from that magazine in
October 1986.)  The show was on 1am Saturday; the next should be in two
weeks.
