Lamentations for the music video

One thing that really annoys me these days is how there's no longer a TV channel that just plays straight up music videos. The music video is a dying (or some would debate dead) art form and because of that very few artists actually make music videos for their new releases. Thus, the ones that do get made have a very little chance of ever being seen unless they're from an already well-established artist that can win the very exclusive 30 second time slot MTV uses between commercials to play them. Yes, I realize there is the internet to watch videos on but having to actively seek out an artist ruins the feeling of discovery or rediscovery that the random playlist of a television program affords.

Anyway, I'll close this out with a video from music video's golden age (the eighties) with "Head Like A Hole" by Nine Inch Nails.
