WTF is Teletunes?
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!

This was on teletunes top 100 countdown from 1987. Maybe you can remember another video that was on that specific countdown that I just can not find and it's been bugging me longer than I'd like to admit. It was a vid with a punk-rock girl (i think she was really young, or the lead singer?) who was roaming the streets. Tattered clothes, derelict streets. that's all i remember. Sound familiar?
ReplyDeleteWow! I found it in your blog!!! It's the Art of Noise, Close (to the edit).
