I recently created Music Video Genome. It’s essentially Pandora for music videos (or a personalized MTV). Through the power of VHX’s new API, Last.fm and YouTube, it made it quite simple to accomplish.
This past weekend I participated in a video hackday. You get 24 hours to start and finish a video based project. At the end everyone demos their speed hack.
My project morphed several times over the course of the weekend, but the final result ended up being something I’m really enjoying.
I called it Genome because it’s not that simple to match music videos to real songs. Most music on YouTube is just a stupid static image. Granted not all songs have music videos, but it would be amazing if I could crowd-source the documentation of music videos to songs. If a song does not have an official music video, fans could make their own and have it bubble up as the official music video.
More internet should be like this.
Whoa.
Hotness.

Great new video from OK GO! It’s like a human Mouse Trap.
(And I’m pretty sure this will embed *fingers crossed*)

In the post-music video age, is there any other band that consistently gets viral more than OK Go?
I love marching bands :)

Keri Hilson - Knock You Down (DailyMotion)
If we’re all done hating on Kanye, can we just talk about how good Knock You Down is? Keri Hilson and Kanye West did an even better live version on Letterman this summer — I sometimes think Kanye’s at his best paired with a great singer, like his amazing turn on American Boy with Estelle.
