On MTV/ VH1 Playlist

Ok, confession time. I don't get to watch much television , so am generally pretty clueless about what's on the box, most of the time, except when Little Britain is on, or a big Football match, like an important International. So it took going to a someone's house the other day for me to find out that we're playing on MTV and VH1 at the moment. The guy whose house it was was saying to me ' Oh , I saw your video on MTv dance the other day' and his girlfriend was saying ' My brother really likes Mooli, and he was telling me all about you. He knows all these obscure bands that no- ones ever heard of'. Charming! Haha.. So, it's true ' Save you' is back on the box, and on MTV and VH1's playlist, so hopefully you'll be able to catch it . If you check out MTV's Chill out zone, you should hopefully get some more details, but a run down of a typical days output from a random day last month throws up this lil list from VH1. There's some cool tracks on there, by Nithin Sawney, Gorillaz, Tricky etc, so nice to be in their Company. We've been getting played during the week- 3 out of 5 days!
