THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE: 
with MUSIC TELEVISION! The cable phenom debuted next weekend in 1981. The first four hours included The Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star," while the rest of the first day included Pat Benatar's cover of "You Better Run," Rod Stewart's "She Won't Dance With Me," The Who's "You Better You Bet," PH.D's ""Little Susie's On The Up," Cliff Richard's "We Don't Talk Anymore," The Pretenders' "Brass In Pocket", Todd Rundgren's "Time Heals", REO Speedwagon's "Take It On The Run," Styx's "Rockin' The Paradise", and many more. BONUS: Stereogum ranks the debut videos. THE CLAUDE PATE REUNION CONCERT opened with a set by All The Fixins, who played the (relatively) recent "Silvertone." BARTEES STRANGE plays unplegged at The Current. WHITE REAPER shares "Blink." OASIS shares a live version of "Cigarettes & Alcohol." WEDNESDAY shares “Pick Up That Knife.” RICHARD THOMPSON, on tuning revelations, keeping his chops up, and why you won't find him in a guitar jam. DEAN WAREHAM, on Writing Music in a World on Fire. MICHAEL OCHS, the obsessive collector whose one-man crusade to preserve moments of music and entertainment pop culture made him the preeminent photo archivist of his and perhaps any era, has died. He was 82. CHUCK MANGIONE, who had one of the biggest pop-jazz instrumental crossover hits of all time with “Feels So Good” in the 1970s, died Tuesday at age 84. (I have the 45.) HULK HOGAN, the blond and boisterous body-slammer who brought pro wrestling into the mainstream in the 1980s while becoming one of the most recognizable celebrities of his generation, died Thursday.
