Default XLR8R TV - Episode 1

Not familiar with XLR8R? Since 1993, XLR8R magazine has covered electronic music, culture, style and technology. A perferct blend for the underground counterculture.

Taking content from XLR8R magazine, and rolling it into a Vidcast, the folk over at XLR8R have brought their magazine to the next level with a show featuring interviews and content ripped from the pages of their hardcopy.

More than a music show, these guys have substance to back up the talk.

Great first episode.

It was alright... I like it better then a lot of the other pilots(Excluding Web Drifter, and pixel perfect)

I don't see myself getting excited for a new episode though..

I hate to be negative, but that show was well boring. Maybe it will be better next time.

Yea, not sure why a new sticky was made about the show, after I started one....

but...

I agree. Pretty lame. I'm tired of that whole "scene." It's very tired. If I wanted to see crap like that, I could just turn on MTV.

If I wanted to see cool technology stuff, I turn on REV3. Seems like REV3 is going in the wrong direction with this show IMO.

Problem is, the only way you would see content like that on MTV is if you jumped in a time machine, and shot back 10-15 years.

The "scene" doesn't appeal to me either. I am more a pub rock kinda geek, but XLR8R does fit Rev3.

There is more to geek culture than gadgets and the intarwebs.

Check out www.xlr8r.com to see content they have in their magazine. It might surprise you. If you find stuff in there you would like to see them explore on video, leave a message.

Damn. I kinda liked it. :\

It started out kinda slow with DAT Politics. I mean, I like electronica from time to time. It's good to code to. But, DAT Politics were kinda meh. Or at least what they showed in this show was kinda bad.

But the interview with Zion I and the Grouch was pretty damn good. More interviews like that across different genres could be cool.

I've seen the magazine before and checked it out, but I'm not a subscriber or anything. The website seems pretty good though.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess... I'll give it some more chances.

I'm a big fan of XLR8R magazine and the electronic music culture that the magazine covers. I'm looking forward to future episodes.

I guess there are alot of emo pukes on Rev3, then this show will not be for you.
You will never see anything like this on MTV until five years from now, when the rest of the sheep will think it's "cool"

XLR8R magazine has always been progressive about art, fashion, music, and technology.

I will offer contructive criticism. First the host bothered me with her movement while speaking idk there was something off about it. Also she speaks very bland and not very excited about what's going on. Another thing was wtf was that music dat was playing lets just smash on a keyboard and run a beat in the background then scream random words into the mic wtf. Anyway when they were interviewing the band the camera cuts were way to fast for my taste it changed like every 2 seconds. The street interview stuff wasn't bad. The rap stuff wasn't terrible either. (Anything with a apple product in sight I don't mind watching) Oh and in the credits I loved the kitty in that guys hoodie. Overall rating it was ok boring at times.
