This Our Internet

The facts are certainly on my side here, so I say this boldly and with confidence: the internet can be pretty great. Sure, it can be a strange place with some dark corners (youtube comment threads are generally a mental cesspool), but that's the nature of places, really. No medium of cultural dissemination has grown this wild and unstructured since the early and unregulated days of radio, and, although I was about negative sixty years old when that was happening, I suspect that the proliferation of the internet has been even wilder. And because there are so many great things out there, and we're all here, anyway, we might as well share what we find. I'll toss out a link on this bliggity blog approximately whenever I feel like it, and feel free to send me anything you find that's great. Here's a few old favorites to get you started, and you can pick and choose based on your interests. The theme today is music. Music...in video format. A few of these have some salty language, which get the customary "nsfw" tag. You've been warned.

Hilarious fictionalized history of a bygone musical era? Yacht Rock. (nsfw)
Beautiful music made with a game boy? David E Sugar. (Bonus awesome stop-motion animation)
Mocking an A-ha video, making it better. Take On Me, the definitive version.
American history, Brad Neely style: JFK. (nsfw)
Ever wish life was more like musical theater? Prangstgrup has your back.


If you've got your own favorites on this theme, I encourage you to hit the comments, with gusto.
