I met your children. What did you tell them?

iTunes has a new and improved way to take my money: music videos. Oh, look at them all, so shiny and colourful and only two dollars and twenty-nine cents each.

I want. My itchy mouse finger is about to click on Thriller and Billie Jean and Bad. Like a Virgin and Papa Don't Preach. Where the Streets Have No Name and I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For.

In short, I want all the videos from back in the day when we'd rush home from school to watch -- was it Video Singles with Samantha Taylor? -- and then Good Rockin' Tonight on Fridays. I want Michael Jackson and Boy George and Madonna. I want the 80s.

My god, I hope they put up Take On Me. That was brilliant.

What videos would you most like to get your hands on?

Where the Streets Have No Name and I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

your mouse finger has better impulse control than mine: i had both of these (as well as "with or without you") downloaded about thirty seconds (or however long it took my modem) after learning that it was possible.

and "take on me," oh man, that was brilliant. it may rival "where the streets have no name" for my favorite video (and, apparently, favorite way in which to show my age) of all time.
