Indie Rock Of Love
Considering it's Valentine's Day, and with the success of musician-based love shows like Bret Michaels' Rock of Love or Flavor Flav's Flavor of Love, we'd like to take a moment to inspire some potential indie rockers to find some ladies on the small screen. How about...
Thirstin' for More with Thurston Moore
I Love Thom Yorke (Like Flavor of Love's spin-off "I Love New York"! Clever, clever, right?)
Love Is Hell with Ryan Adams
Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others - Morrissey's Quest for that Special Plus-Size Lady
You Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will Win a Date with Conor Oberst
Love Is Hell Pt. 2 with Ryan Adams
We love nothing more than a good pun involving indie rock stars. Any more you can think of?
I'll be happy to love Thom Yorke, but he's married :(

or indie groupies going up to win The Arcade Fire's 'Crown Of Love'

I'd go on a "Band Of Horses' Weed Party" show to find their perfect gals. Or would it be more overtly "Cigarettes, Wedding Bands"

Words can barely express how I HATE what VH-1 has become in the past few years!!! I don't give a shit about these stupid reality 'dating' shows. I care even less about washed up actors like Scott Baio or Chris Knight. Bring back the music VH1 or change the name of your station. You have no business calling yourselves "Video Hits 1" just like MTV has no business calling themselves Music Television.

Can posting the same words twice express how much you hate VH1?

I'd audition for Love Is Hell w/ Ryan Adams in a second, no matter how hellacious.

hahaha. i wouldn't go on love is hell with ryan adams, but i would totally go for love is hell pt. 2 so you could learn from season one contestants' mistakes.

It's a shame that the much rumored Artie Lang dating show never came to pass!

Whoa, that is a great point amanda. I would have to fight you for it, but what if he stuck w/the girl from season 1. He seems so lovestruck sometimes.
Posted by: Alli | Friday, February 15, 2008 at 11:09 AM
alli, that's true. i bet ryan would stick with a season one girl for at least a year...but season 2 would be inevitable! and that's when i'd swoop in. :)

You could combine a dating show and American Gladiators for
"He War: The Battle for Cat Power"
or maybe "Bachelorette: Becoming Bjork's Boy"
Posted by: wes | Friday, February 15, 2008 at 02:06 PM
and perhaps the most obvious: "Neko Case and Her Boyfriends"

Sufjan Stevens wants To Be Alone With YOU! However, he would prefer you wear this dress. He thinks it would look nice on you.
True Love Will Find You In The End, stalking with Daniel Johnston.
No Cure For Love, or: Leonard Cohen and Robert Smith compete for the love of one lucky lady!

Hunting for Bitches with Bloc Party!
(only without the derogatory connotations - nice, wholesome girls.)

from my own true love: colin meloy attempts to rescue his love, lost at sea

Now while I hate the fact that VH1 has now become a wacked out dating show network with the craziest contestants, I would have to get on the I Love Thom Yorke one....personally love the guy!! I wish the channel would try for some class. Bret Michaels, Flavor Flav and New York barely constitute as people anymore. The shows are filled with trashy women who fight, get drunk and fight some more...and I Love New York: New York is too much of a faux transvestite looking diva to ever find love...hell she was about to die for Flavor Flav...TWICE!!!

Can we just put Teagan & Sara on MTV's "Next"?

What about Spooning with Spoon? That one practically writes itself.
Posted by: Ayala | Thursday, February 21, 2008 at 05:16 AM
Or how about a season of the Real World with all members of The Polyphonic Spree.

I'd like to see Radiohead get stuck on a boat in Alaska fishing for King Crab.
This is a weird thread.

It seems I'm the only one up for seeing Moz and a number of full-figured woman fight for his love...hmmmm maybe it's because we all know it'll end up as a huge crying fest...still I'd watch
Posted by: Eve | Friday, February 22, 2008 at 01:43 PM
Haha i am so on for watching that one too! If they had a dating show with Pelle Almqvist from the Hives i am so there too..
