Dear all,

Glad to know you are watching MAX.

Rather than claim this one I can let you know that the actual tag line should read

‘MTV makes me want to smoke crack’, not ‘Loser’ was Beck’s debut single.

Our automated system deleted the second half of the sentence so I can assure there is no malice towards the team at MTV. Apart from a couple of guys in the IT team looking a little red in the face all is back to normal.

Enjoy the music
