Yesterday, I stumbled across my childhood. It was all searchable and instantly playable with no ads.

In the days of when MTV meant music videos, I used to be obsessed. I was media hungry as a youngster. I knew it was lame to like MTV, but I was drawn to the videos and the risk taking film making they explored.

I used to stay up late to watch 120 minutes in the days Thurston Moore woudl host, I’d stay up late to watch Head Bangers Ball and crindge at Ricky Rackman.

MTVmusic.com
Here is a list of  a few videos I used to love.

Roy Obrison – I drove all Night.

Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – Dang

Guided By Voices – Auditorium/motor away

The Dandy Warhols – Bohemian like you

The Dead Milkmen – Punk Rock Girl

Tears for Fears – Mad World

Seaweed – Kid Candy

Genesis – Land of Confusion

and lastly, who didn’t love.

Duran Duran – Hungry like the wolf

I encourage you to explore the videos of the past and post them as comments.

Back story…a year ago a guy contacted me on Facebook expressing interest …he was a good looking, educated, world traveler…good so far…but I soon discovered he was also a hardcore Republican. I will call him GayRep. I told GayRep upfront that we were no match. We went back and forth via email but he only made me more angry. Periodically GayRep messaged me on Facebook baiting me with his retarded viewpoints. Oh and GayRep also works overseas but his home base is in LA. GayRep is coming back in December and repeatedly asked for a date upon his return. Ha! I hadn’t responded in awhile and then last night I received this email describing our proposed first date with a break down on ‘make-out’ scenarios depending on the voting results for the Election and the Vote on 8.

Without saying anything more I will let GayRep words do the talking…

looking forward to coming home:

1) it’s crazy here (country deleted), so tired of my work, looking forward to just chilling in LA

2) isn’t “eliminate hate” entirely subjective especially given… Article. The work to read obviously being Animal farm- but also, perhaps more spectacularly the Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn…indeed the only societies that tried to outlaw “hate” did quite a bit of their own.

3) Will you buy me dinner if McCain wins- or will you be entirely too depressed to even meet me.

There are a couple of combinations, from hot to cold of our meeting, I gather:

a) Obama wins, Prop 8 is defeated: You will be entirely happy to meet me- although tres smug, but since you’ve been entirely victorious on the field of battle you’ll be more than curious to make out with a young (or at 30 maybe not so young) Republican……indeed, it will be something to tell your friends, “Hey since Obama won et al, making out with a dispirited young republican ain’t so bad) …see fat girl sex.

b) Obama wins, Prop 8 wins: You will be somewhat happy to meet me, although you will lecture me about how awful the Catholics and Mormons are…. making out here still pretty sure, although less intense and joyful on your part….lots of between tongue “I can’t believe you actually believe that shit!”

c) Obama loses, Prop 8 is defeated: No lecture on Catholics and Mormons, yes lecture on how racist America is…. still some tongue, “At least in this fucking racist country two guys can still get it on and I’m going to work your republican ass, legally!”

d) the worst! from your perspective. Obama loses, Prop 8 wins: I’m assuming here, we don’t even meet. “fuck you and I don’t mean by me” end of email

I’m speechless. I’m tempted to just respond with an email that says ‘unsubscribe.”
