Nostalgia on Tap

The best thing about YouTube? I think it has to be the fact that I can call up Nostalgia with a quick search. Any music video, any t.v. show, damn near any song, any movie...just one quick search and there it is. Like this video, Ana Ng, by They Might Be Giants, which is the first time I had heard the band.

I can remember sitting on the sofa in my living room talking on the phone to a girl I liked. (This is way back in the day kids. No cellies, not even pagers. Not yet.) She told me to turn on Mtv and I did. The video was just starting and we sat there on the phone, not speaking, just connected via wires and the sounds of mutual breathing. Existing, each in our own houses, each in our own spaces, yet still connected so we could watch videos together.

Somedays, I miss that. And when I do, well, here you go:
