MTV Music

Are you one of those people who shakes a fist at the new video-free MTV or dreamily laments about a long-ago time where MTV's content wasn't full of fake-reality shows or bisexual internet sensations finding true love?

I don't suffer from the rage as much as most do, since I didn't have cable growing up. I don't actually remember a time when MTV-proper showed videos. MTV2, maybe. But not MTV.

Put those fists away and wake up! MTV has a website in beta called "MTV Music" that allows users to search for artists or songs or to browse the collection of videos. Now you can spend hours reliving your glory days.

My friends have found dead ends--Queen's "Crazy little thing called love" is one that comes to mind--but there are also a lot of obscure videos included that you might not immediately think of. It's a trade-off, I guess.

It's kind of awesome.
