I've this idea for a new group for months now. Yet, given the legions of groups that haunt last.fm, I thought I'd make sure that no similar group(s) already exists.

Methinks it's time - if it hasn't happened before - to start a Music Video Appreciation Society, or specifically a Music Video Preservation Society. I'm personally way too young to have known/appreciated MTV in its heyday, but thanks to YouTube I've become fascinated with videos. I've read quite a few other journals dedicated to the same topic - but I don't think I've ever found one group to tie all these discussions together. That needs to be fixed.

I imagine, once formed, we'd recommend links to each other and whatnot, but also discuss more broad questions about the form itself - what makes a video a classic? A piece of art? Hell, are videos art? - and other sundry questions of that mold.

Shoot me a line and let me know what you think. And if you really want to head it, please, be my guest.
