Does anyone remember the days when MTV was associated with music television and not LC, Heidi, and Spencer? It was back when Care Bears roamed the earth and He-Man and Skeletor were locked in their epic battle of good versus evil (and if they’re still collecting dust in your parents’ basement, you can turn to Recycle This? for suggestions of what to do with them if they’re not in good enough condition to go the eBay route).
Cue MTVMusic.com – an online treasure trove of new and old music videos. Using a prominently placed “search” bar, visitors can look up videos based on artist, title of song, or title of album as well as conduct searches within genres. Surprisingly, the site offers a very broad mix from the very recent offerings of Britney Spears to the indie ballads of the ‘80s by The Smiths. The only drawback is when the YouTube size video of an ‘80s offering (like “Bad Reputation” above by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts) is enlarged to the full screen, it loses some of its sharpness. Yet, the purple eyeshadow is still easily visible, funny how that works out. Overall, it’s worth seeing the past (and present) videos, even if they are a little blurry.
