I was recently reminded of a dorky thing my friend and I used to do after school. Before the days of multi-channel surround sound (in our home, anyway), our local friendly Media General Cable offered audio over an FM signal, which allowed you to tune in a station over the hi-fi. It didn't take us too long to figure out that by tuning to MTV (which played music then) on the radio and cartoons on the TV, you could get some neat custom music videos. I remember one particularly awesome session in which the G.I. Joe crew performed a very stirring rendition of Judas Priest's "Parental Guidance" – sweet!

Thanks in no small part to the MTV-style editing that currently dominates the airways, last night I found it pretty enjoyable to kick back and surf the cable waves with some tunes flowing through the earbuds. I'm sure the delirium tremens didn't hurt either.
