BFF: MUCHMUSIC SPOTLIGHT (repost)

From: echap@netcom.ca
Subject: BFF: MUCHMUSIC SPOTLIGHT (repost)
Sorry to repost, but a couple of people have requested that I repost this (important? is this truly important?) request, so here ya go...
OK, for those of you that don't know, there is a music video station originating from Toronto, and broadcasting around the world called MuchMusic. Anyways, MuchMusic has a daily special called 'Spotlight', in which they devote 30 minutes to an artist, and play 5-odd music videos, with interview and live clips spliced in. Well, as far as I can remember, our boys have not appeared on Spotlight, yet they have done interviews, and played live on Muchmusic. So, that leads me to thinking that us BFFans can get Soptlight to feature the boys. 'So, how does this benefit me?' you ask? Well, us fans who can will tape the show, and we can mail copies to fans across the world who have still not seen the video for Uncle Walter (among others...yes, it DOES exist).
So, here's the deal. Please, everyone just take a minute out of your day to just write a Muchmusic a simple Email. Here is the info.
Email address: spot@muchmusic.com
Subject: Ben Folds Five Spotlight (or something to that effect)
It will be more effective is you send short letters often that one really big letter, but feel free to do both. Also, if you have nothing better to do with your life, make a picture website, as those make up many of the request on their All-Request shows. I figure that if each member of the Armchair sends one Email per day, they'll want to shut us up and they bow to our demands (wishful thinking is beautiful).
So, to sum up, PLEASE Email MuchMusic once a day asking them to air a BFF spotlight. Every Email counts. Start writing today: Aug. 26th (um, I guess September 3rd is more accurate now). Thanks for your help,
Robbie C.
