Video of the Week
Artist: Kvety
Song: "Pasacek Ovci (Sheep Herder)"
Country: Czech Republic
View This Video Now!
�
Here's an oddball video and another fascinating entry for the Czech Republic. Kvety is an acoustic ensemble but with their combination of mandolins, balofon, harmonica, cello and a host of other instruments they are nonetheless considered to be an Alternative band.
The song is about an obsessive inescapable love. "I can do anything what I want, when you are away. But all ways lead to you, I see you everywhere, the clouds are as your hair." The unusual feeling of the video is accomplished with individual light treatments to each frame, giving it a vintage flickering effect.� The bra-bound beauty is the only non band member in the video. The visual style is impossible to categorize -- in the words of one band member: "Director Petr Hegyi is a very strange person."
Remember that you can own much of the music featured on our music blocks by visiting our online music store. We have either CDs or 99 cent song downloads available for many of the artists on our 59 playlists. Check them out

Best Viewer Comments Of The Week
(Keep them coming. Next week it could be yours!)
02/12/06
...This is the only 'reality TV' that is worth my
time...
�
02/09/06
...I ran across Link TV a few years ago. Back
then it was new and somewhat interesting showing documentaries on war in
Yugoslavia. Last year I noticed that the quality of the content of Link TV has
improved tremendously, and this is probably a result of more interest, donations
and grant funds airing increasing high quality documentaries that are high on
content and light on fat, fluff or filler...Please keep the documentaries
coming, as I have almost completely switched to only watching Link TV. With over
300 stations to pick from on TV, and only one, Link TV has the courage to show
the extremely well done hard hitting documentaries...Its for the people, and
really for all the people of the world!� thanks,�

Congratulations are in order!�� Dear friends,� I would
like to say that I've never seen programming that is as imformative, compelling
and meaningful as I've seen on your channel. I discovered your channel surfing
channels with my new Direct TV service as I must say that I was amazed and quite
literally blown away by the subject matter. I commend all of you for the amazing
and important work that you do. Keep searching our globe for stories that would
never be seen and heard unless you told them. I'm a huge fan and I will continue
to be so long as you stay on the air.
02/11/06
I very much enjoyed your program 'Growing Up in the Streets: 12
Years Later.'� I was in Cusco, Peru in December 2000 and met some children
in similar circumstances as the four children you previewed in the show.�
It saddens me to see so much disparity between the have and have not.� It
brings back so much of my own memories of me when I came to the U.S. at a young
age, alone facing a future of uncertainties.� I have become so accustomed
to a life of luxury and have forgotten that the rest of the world, a world that
I escaped many years ago, is still like the world that children such as Willy,
Carlos, Angel, and Sonia are living in.� Thank you for the reminder that I
need to lend a helping hand to third world countries.
