Before the days of MTV, "Video Killed the Radio Star" was the first music video ever made, introducing a new age of technology and entertainment. We thought this a fitting concept to introduce ourselves in this new era of web video.
P.S. There is method to the madness...check out the Buggles original video here!

The keyboard things reminds me of the game Frets On Fire.

Ah! This is so clever! Great idea and amazing production- though I have to say, you belong on a bigger screen.

Enjoyed the video. Balked at the description.
Video Killed the Radio Star was the first video broadcast on MTV, but it wasn't the first music video ever made. Music videos existed a long time (arguably 70+ years) before it.
You have to figure MTV needed a fairly extensive catalog of music videos on hand before they could start broadcasting, and that they wouldn't have found funding if there weren't already a growing movement to spearhead.
(It would have been cool for MTV to launch with the first video ever made, but no one's sure what that was, and the political statement of choosing this song was too rich to pass up.)
Bohemian Rhapsody was filmed a few years before it. Schoolhouse Rock was earlier still. Most of ABBA's 35 music videos were filmed before it. The Beatles had a few, and were broken up for years before it. So even if you don't trace this all the way back to turn-of-the-century blues artists, there were some landmark moments already on the books before this.
But, yeah. They did usher in a new age of technology and entertainment, and your homage was quite nice.

I'm so impressed with the ad free website! That is a welcome change. Brilliant videos too. One question: How can you be singers, hosts and actors but still be worried about spending all the time? Plus, you have apartments, new computers and pianos.
