Please note: MP3s are only kept online for a short time, and if this entry is from more than a couple of weeks ago, the music probably won't be available to download any more.
Instructions: start the song. start the flash thingy. every time you hear the musical cue indicated by the text, press the button, and the next part of the interactive visual accompaniment will play. it's supposed to be fun! Architecture in Helsinki - "Debbie" -- Elsewhere: I'm writing for The Movie Binge this summer. Last week, I helped review Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, this week, I'll be doing Crazy Love in tandem with Matthew Perpetua. Posted by Dan at June 4, 2007 2:00 AMComments
the future of music videos? yes. Posted by jez at June 4, 2007 10:53 AMThis is awesome. They/you (?) should make an interactive online version and then a regular music version, where an "invisible hand" clicks on the cues for you.
