Interesting article in The New York Times: Outshining MTV: How Video Killd the Video Star, which is about how online video is impacting MTV and other aspects of music video culture. Favorite note:
…More and more CD’s are bundled with DVD’s, or reissued with DVD supplements, or followed by stand-alone DVD companions. From the Arctic Monkeys (who recently released “Scummy Man,†described as “a short film inspired by the song ‘When the Sun Goes Down’ â€) to Chris Brown (whose fans are invited to buy “Chris Brown’s Journey,†a DVD cash-in), extended music videos are finding a home in record stores.
Neat stuff.
