Internet Links: MTV music Video Archive
MTV, the cable music channel, which debuted in 1981 with round-the-clock music videos but now primarily focuses on reality programming, has archived its video collection on a new Web site, MTVMusic.com.
MTV promised to add more videos daily. It currently filters videos by most viewed, top rated and vintage videos (David Bowie, New Order, Duran Duran …). Users can also search by artist or song name.
The quality of the sound is great. Here’s a sample from the archive
Funny Music Video Accident: Katy Perry falls down in MTV Mexico Latin Awards 2008
The American singer, 23, who recently ruffled feathers with lipgloss lesbian anthem I Kissed A Girl, finished her routine at the 15th MTV Latin American Awards in Mexico face down in the remains of the award show’s anniversary cake.
Covered in pink icing, the singer at first appeared pleased with the stunt, peeling cake remains from her body and cheekily throwing them at the audience and her guitarist.
But Perry clearly hadn’t considered the health and safety implications of enormous quantities of icing under stage lights. As she slipped across the floor, she grabbed at her guitarist for support but only succeeded in prolonging the agony and executing a cartoon-like running-on-the-spot move.
She hit the deck face down but laughed off the episode. However, the most embarrassing moment was still to come. With ballet slippers covered in icing sugar and knees resembling cup cakes, the singer could not stand up. Each time she tried, she slid across the stage, hitting the floor over and over again.
Perry finally brought her highly entertaining performance to an end by crawling off the stage on her hands and knees.
