MUSIC VIDEO FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

I was around when MTV first started, and thought it was an excellent idea, but was shocked at how poorly executed it was.

When I listen to music, it usually evokes some images in my head. I figured that most music videos would be little movies which would show the images that were floating around in the band's head - images that would concretize and illustrate the lyrics of the songs.

Yeah. I was disappointed. Most videos were just shots of the band playing the song, interspersed with snippets of images that had little or nothing to do with the words being sung at the time.

Bleh.

However, I'm pleased to report that I *have* found a video wherein words, music, and images all mesh perfectly in support of each other. A little love story for the new millenium:

She Freakin' Blocked Me.

The images are work-safe, but a few of the lyrics might raise the boss's eyebrow if overheard.

Whoa. That rocked.

I SO wish I had stuff like this to play with when I had tons of time in college. I have so much fun making junk like this, but there's just no time these days...
