I think you're only as good as the work that you do.
I think our show is very different from Orange County.
At first we didn't have a lot of access to New York City, but very quickly, I think people recognized if you were on the show that was a good thing. We always saw the show as a love letter to New York City.
It's really hard in this day and age, with radio and MTV being so consolidated, to get new music out there. I think we've become a really legitimate, viable avenue for getting new music out there.
Julie and Jimmy are going to make another run at it, but you know that Jimmy Cooper ...
