i could only assume that you would be completely frustrated with the
same things i am with mtv. it is a network called music television
that does not play music videos. and when they do play videos it is in
30 second clips on TRL or underneath the credits of whatever reality
show. the truth is we have a collective memory of videos. certain ones
we can all sit and look back and say “oh i remember that” or “i cant
believe axl rocked the nwa hat and the bicycle shorts in the same
video”. people say that with the a.d.d. generation people cant pay
attention to a whole music video whenever we have asked. that people
wont watch those anymore. i disagree. as most of you do as well. the
truth is whole videos should be played. bands should play live.
premieres should be a big deal like they used to be, not just a
snippet of a video. artists should be able to let their imaginations
go and know that people will be able to see what they have crafted.
artists should talk about their videos. we should and can make the
music video important again.

i asked a couple of people what their favorite music videos ever were,
here are their picks:

nick (nicholasscimeca.com) says it is cold play “scientist”

my buddy jenson (www.nineteeneightyeight.com) is like me. he cant pick
one. but likes this spike jonze notorious b.i.g. clip “sky’s the limit” …

patrick said that one Jamiroquai video. you know the “virtual insanity” one.

tyga said busta’s “light ya ass on fire”

ryan seacrest said “thriller”, even being a total maniac i can only
assume he meant the m.j. version which we all have stuck in our brain
forever.

maura (idolator.com) said blur “coffee and tv”- she gets extra credit
for dropping a weird al video too though.
