They Might Be Giants in Five Measures
I wanted to have a CD review ready for you guys also today, but I forgot how much editing those require, so it’s tentatively scheduled for Thursday. In the meantime: TMBG’s recent output has been mostly educational songs for children, but anyone who’s been a longtime fan would not be surprised. They’re always teaching us about something!

27 MVT3K Creed
MVT3K: California Love
The horrific technical problems return! There was simply no time to reshoot this weeks episode to actually include my head (just think, someday we’ll upgrade to a real camera and look back at this and laugh) so hopefully the writing is funny enough this week to counter the gaffe.
This week, Derek puts Hypertime at risk in order to find a hip hop video that won’t offend.
Misappropriated Music: Battlefield
A special for Valentine’s Day: If only there was some way to properly describe the hardships that come with interpersonal relationships, the give and take, the potential for pain that comes with opening up your heart to another person….a totally original sentiment about what love feels like….oh well.
MVT3K: When Doves Cry
Derek explores the sexy world of funk and soul, but only finds a little purple man’s vanity project.
Thanks to everyone who watched last week’s episode, it was the single highest viewed installment yet! And thanks to everyone who leaves comments, and subscribes to the RSS feed, and especially anyone who passes us on to their friends, it’s nice to feel appreciated! I’m almost ready to reveal the details of our new affiliate site, a whole new world of funny is about to become available!
MVT3K: Single Ladies
Technical difficulties continued to plague this episode, hence the late posting. As you can see, I’m experimenting with format a bit, so leave me some comments and let me know how you like it
The Flaming Lips in Five Measures
The new Music Video Theatre 3000 video originally scheduled for today has been pushed back to Thursday due to technical difficulties, but don’t think I’m leaving you high and dry!
Today we reveal the secret obsession that drives Wayne Coyne, though it’s not such a secret to anyone who’s seen the FLips stage show or movie Christmas On Mars.
MVT3K: Hooked on a Feeling
This week, Derek is subjected to a truly torturous chunk of video at the hands of Captain America Bowling Pin. With cameos from Cin and WizWar100, and commentary soon. If you feel like there’s still something missing from our design (which has been totally tweaked by yours truly) you can let me know in the comments OR on the new contact page!
Ben Folds in Five Measures
Instead of an album review (though I am working on one, an oldie but a goodie), here’s a new series based on the “Movie in Five Seconds” series on ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.
First up: is it possible to distill the discography of such a talented and beloved pianist and songwriter into five simple measures? Yes. Yes it is.
MVT3K: America
In this week’s episode, Derek and Captain America Bowling Pin announce their love of country and celebrate American unity. Unfortunately, Derek’s critical nature rears its ugly head. Commentary here.
I haven’t harped on it for awhile, but remember that you can subscribe to AU by clicking on that little button in the top left corner, and comments are always appreciated! Bonus video on Thursday, probably a CD review.
