Still on the TV chapter. We discussed how TV changed music from being just sound to being something audio-visual. I thought of
Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini (1960) and its
1990 music video version by Bombalurina :) both of which topped the charts btw. We discussed
Video Killed the Radio Star (1979) and
Internet Killed the Video Star (2010). In this way we covered 50 years today. And I could try to take it another 80 years back, all the way back to Nietzsche, who killed God in
Die froehliche Wissenschaft (1882), but I have more stuff to write tonight, so I shall shut my mouth right here for now :)
