Ahh, another video from the 80s school of making a weird little movie that had little to do with the lyrics of the song. Much like "Gold" by Spandau Ballet or "Hungry like the Wolf" by Duran Duran.
Only the most awesome music video show ever! It ran on channel 12 in Denver for almost 20 years and started BEFORE MTV! It turned on thousands of disaffected Colorado youth all kinds of alternative rock! Everything from Peter Gabriel to Front 242 to Public Enemy.
Watching Teletunes was an integral part of the Colorado Generation X experience, along with Casa Bonita, The Warlock Pinchers, listening to KTCL before they were bought and ruined forever by Clear Channel, Blinky's Fun Club, making fun of Jake Jabbs commercials, etc.
This blog hopes to capture the thrills of watching teletunes back in the day with plenty of videos found off youtube and other hosting sites. Please feel free to contact us with anything you think should be on here!
