Interesting on the Palladia point.
But yes, I'm taking throw in an archived tape and press 'play'. I want "YO! MTV Raps", "Headbangers Ball", "120 Minutes" and all the "Buzz Clips" they can find.
Kurt Loder and MTV News inspired me to take media studies/documentary minors when I was at UB in the early 90's.
And 'The Real World' was a lot of fun to dissect in documentary class, how they played with cuts and mashed scenes together to create storylines.
