Music Videos

Back in the 1980s, we were at the mercy of music television stations to see new music videos. We'd sit captive watching MTV or VH-1, hanging on the vee-jay's every word, waiting for him to say our favorite artist's new video was up next. We listened to Kurt Loder give us our music news and watched as "music television" became little more than a hodge-podge of reality tv, trashy sitcoms, top countdowns and shows like "Pimp My Ride." What we needed was a place on the internet for new music to debut. That place, which is largely still the reigning champion of free video, is YouTube.

Have you dreamt of being on American Idol? Do you write or perform your own music and wish to be discovered? Well, posting your original music videos on YouTube just might make you world-famous! Just ask Chris Crocker, whose rants about Britney Spears scored him a spot in Weezer's latest music video. Then there's Terra Naomi, whose YouTube music clips earned her a recording contract with Island Records. Similarly, unknown artist Esmee Denters toured with Justin Timberlake, following his viral video debut!

In addition to uploading your own music, you can also hunt for music videos from new and emerging artists. For instance, you can type genres into the search engines, look up a band you heard of on Myspace to get an idea of their live performances, check out one of the YouTube music channels or type in a keyword like "unsigned" or "indie." One of the site's best features is that little sidebar next to all the videos, which offers other recommended selections, so perhaps you can watch one of your favorite bands and see another recommended band that you may not have heard before.

Whether you're a musician or a fan, music videos have the power to enhance our lives through mood, imagery and sound. Perhaps you'll opt to post a funny music video on your friend's social networking page or you'll embed your favorite artist on your own page. The one drawback for online music videos is that you can't download them; you can only watch and share them. The danger is that your video links could die or your favorite video could be pulled for copyright infringement. Yet watching music clips online is still the best medium available and will undoubtedly enrich your life by offering instant gratification when you "just gotta" hear that song stuck in your head!

You've got to pick the "paint" or background color, you'll need a "trim color" or the text style/color, you'll want to add "furniture" or banners and Myspace graphics, hang a few "pictures" or slideshows and music players and include a "mailbox" or contact table! Soon your space will feel like home!
