The Killers Release New Video and a Musing on Music Videos

The Killers have released another video for The World We Live In the third single from Day and Age.



Besides Fuse, who plays videos anymore? MTV or Vh1 have decided that reality tv is the way to go. They used to be the forerunners of new, innovative videos. Sadly, they have dropped the ball. It is hard to capture people's attention online to watch videos. We post some of them, but know you don't actually watch them.

So what is the point in wasting about 500k to make a video when no one will see it? Save the money, and put your single up on iTunes for free download. This would require the record companies to rethink their marketing strategies.

Instead of using videos to promote the latest single, you release it for free. This is essentially what you are doing anyway except you are wrapping a video around the free mp3. Let's save the dough and cut out the video. But this is too logical so the record companies will not do this.
