Vote Team Robespierre
From the mailbag:
I directed a music video for their song “88th Precinct” which is in competition to get on regular MTV rotation. However, they’re up against musicians who have already had MTV air time and are signed to warner bros and have music videos with much larger budgets (considering our budget was no budget).

and you can vote as many times as you like. Voting ends this Friday at noon
Evidently, they’ve already gotten the run-around by MTV and were asked to edit out someone’s tongue since, as everyone knows, tongues=cunnilingus—both of which are too racy for MTV. Here’s their video below, much of which was filmed in the neighborhood.
really? what would anyone expect trying to get their video on mtv? maybe it’s just because i’m old, but this seems like it could have been pretty thoroughly predicted before trying to get your video on mtv.
