Saturday night's show is repeated the following Friday night.
The difference in those viewer numbers is staggering! Maybe
they should just replace MTV with AMP-TV, 24 hours a day?
Sounds like a good idea to me. ;-)

Yes, the Portishead track on Friday was the video for "To Kill
a Dead Man." Does anyone who saw this know if it was the complete
video? It was about 9-10 minutes, and looked complete to me, but
AMP is notorious (already) for only showing excerpts from the
videos. Sometimes this can be interesting, like a few weeks ago
when they played Eric B & Rakim's "Paid in Full," cut to an Ofra
Haza video when the samples came in, then wound up with "Pump Up
the Volume," which also contains the Ofra Haza sample. But
considering most of these videos are being presented for the first
time on US television, it would be nice to see the whole thing
at least once.

That's "Last Train to Lhasa." Title track from the album of the same
name. I enjoyed that video too.
