YouTube to offer every music video ever

Well, it will be cool if that turns out to be the case. YouTube co-founder Steve Chen hopes to have every music video ever created on the site in 18 months. Granted, there are tons of them already on there, but of course they’re unauthorized and all that hoo-ha. According to the story, the videos would all be offered for free, which is a step better than Google’s current video vault, which offers a lot of videos for 99 cents in a similar iTunes fashion.

“Right now we’re trying to very quickly determine how and what the model is to distribute this content and we’re very aggressive in assisting the labels in trying to get the content on to YouTube,” said Mr Chen.

In honor of the King

As everyone knows, today is my older brother’s birthday (Happy Birthday, Chris!). On a side note, it’s also the day Elvis Presley died all those years ago. Now, I don’t usually pimp my own product around here, but every now and then I sit around and make music videos that I then upload to YouTube. Many folks have enjoyed my tributes to The Velvet Underground, my surreal clips for Billy Joel and Todd Rundgren, and the little girls totally loved my video for the “Totally Spies!” cartoon. Well, my latest endeavor is one called “Viva Fat Elvis.” It’s atribute to the King and hisfinal glory days in 1977. It hasn’t been rated well, and the comments are possibly more entertaining than the clip itself. Nah, scratch that. Bloated E.P. looking totally out of it is always funny. Anyway, enjoy the clip, the comments, and the groovy cheeseball graphics.

Viva Fat Elvis! (For comments, etc.)
