David Bowie Webdream

MTV Music

MTV has launched a new web presence, mtvmusic.com. It looks pretty cool so far. They have come up with a remarkable marketing plan. They’re going to show videos! Cool huh? I figured I could never resist a temptation like that. What is a little different with this concept for MTV is they apparently are willing to share their wealth finally and allow embedding. So, to give it a try, I chose Ashes to Ashes:

For those not in my age bracket, I chose this video for a reason. When MTV very first came on the air when I was a teen, it featured videos only. Most of those videos were of bands dancing around, performing live, or just goofing off in general. Out of nowhere Bowie came along with these incredibly over-produced vids that were tons of fun to watch. It totally changed how videos would be made forever. For a while we had great tunes to fantastic and creative videos. Then rap came along and kind of killed that party. But, we still have those from the wonder years. And, along with being one of the first, I still think Ashes to Ashes is one of the best. Enjoy.
