If you use angle brackets with the "url" tag around the text it works.

Just show men which brackets...you mean and ?

men = me, this man
It hyperlinked to "and"! I think I know what you mean now.

"Teen Spirit" definitely seemed to be a Rubicon for pop culture, even at the time, but I think years of that dreary piss-coloured palette in dozens of videos have dimmed its allure for me.

I've grown to like the song, but the music video for "Smells Like Teen Spirit" still means nothing to me.

Why does that hyperlink not work? That's the url.
"the box" my no. 2

you have to include the http://, otherwise it thinks it's a board link, idk
Okay, let me try something on a test thread.

Smells Like Teen Spirit: Important, sure, but not even the best music video set in high school--though I'm probably not thinking of any of the one's you might be thinking of.

Adding http:// and enclosing the whole thing with url tags gives you an embed. I'll try one more hyperlink for the next one, and if it doesn't work, I'm just going to forget about it.

I've never seen The Box before! I knew about it at the time but didn't have access to satellite tv, then forgot about it for twenty years I guess. Pretty good, poor Tilda.

Went looking online for the original Wicked Game video with the clips from Wild At Heart a few months ago and couldn't find it.

it was hard to pick one herb ritts video but i went with this one because of the clouds. he was unmatched in making gorgeous people look supernaturally gorgeous

It didn't work--got the embed. I'm just going to ask everyone to let that go...If I get ambitious tonight, I'll try to do all that in advance, but no guarantee.
Liked this at the time, both the song and video, but didn't vote for it. Linked in my mind with Bruce Weber's documentary on Chet Baker.

I read about the Wild at Heart version, directed by Lynch--I've never seen it, I don't think.
― clemenza, Thursday, 17 March 2022 16:58 (two years ago) link
Anyone can find these videos without a link, it's fine.

New to me, but I like this one. I almost voted for Morrissey's "Tomorrow," another person-walking-around video, and I think the Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony" was the same thing--must be dozens of them.
― clemenza, Thursday, 17 March 2022 17:07 (two years ago) link
Voted for a different MA video but this is a good one.
― Chris L, Thursday, 17 March 2022 17:09 (two years ago) link
A good video, but maybe one that suffered, for me, from a kind of inverse of the whole bad song/great video problem. Which is to say, I love the song so much that I'm not sure I would like the video so much if a less interesting song were being played overtop of it.

Might've learned I was gay after reveling in the 'Wicked Game' video.

Might've confirmed I was straight after reveling in Helena Christensen in the "Wicked Game" video--something for everyone.

Another tie at #26...I'll post these two, then continue tomorrow (again, around mid-day). Should I finish on Saturday or Monday?
Viborg hasn't posted, but thanks again to him for splitting all the preliminary work.

Actually did try to find a directorial credit for the Joy Division, but no luck--somebody directed the TV show. (The song is '78, but the show aired in '79.)

I <3 that Grimes video... pretty sure it's the most "recent" vid I voted for

― Max Hamburgers (Eric H.), Thursday, 17 March 2022 17:36 (two years ago) link
if you mean '91 (which seems like the rough median here) – then yeah, probably
― Please don’t take / My time change away (morrisp), Thursday, 17 March 2022 17:40 (two years ago) link
I haven't dated everything yet, but I have a feeling Grimes is the newest video in the Top 40. As I posted in the intro, this did surprise me.

I've barely seen any music videos made after 1996 or so.
― Chappies banging dustbin lids together (President Keyes), Thursday, 17 March 2022 17:42 (two years ago) link
Lots of '90s stuff, so I'd even push that forward.
music videos as a format peaked with almost every rap video from '95-'99
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Thursday, 17 March 2022 17:44 (two years ago) link
I rarely watch new videos, even for artists I love. I just listen to the track.
