tek's videotapes: TVC

Themes, Videos, & Commercials

TVC is the name I originally gave to a series of tapes on which I would record- yep- themes, videos, and commercials (among other tidbits). Later I broke the tapes down into categories, a process which is still evolving. I may occasionally create a new category, get rid of an old one, etc. Some categories I put together for one reason or another. I may move some categories between different groups, if I change my mind about where it best belongs. As for actual videos, etc., I may often change my mind about which category of tapes they should be on, too. In fact many things may seem to fit several categories, and others I may be hard pressed to choose even one. So I just try to use my best judgment, and I may not always be comfortable with it. So I invite anyone else who has even the vaguest passing interest in this, to please let me know what you think of these categories & groups of categories, and how you think I might improve them, or where you think I should put videos and other things I record... if you disagree with what I've already done. Chances are I'll want to move things around eventually, anyway.

Now, I can't think what else to say at the moment except to jump into a key for the various categories, and the letters that represent them. Of course, this is all subject to change. This is how it is at the moment:

A: Art/Philosophy/Emotions/Jazzish/Bluesish/Concept... A1 A2 A3
C: Classics (old & instant) C1 C2 C3
D: Dichotomy (Country/Rap/Hip-Hop) D1 D2 D3
E: Earthy/Ethereal/Mellow/Groove (I plan on eventually separating the first two from the latter two.) E1 E2 E3
H: Humor/Fun/Silly/Dance/Toon H1 H2 H3 H4 H5
HTVC: Halloween HTVC1
I: International (World Music- my spelling of artist & song names may be a bit off, sometimes)
I1 I2 I3 I4
M: Multi-Story (ask, if you're interested)
O: Retro (new stuff with an old [mainly 70's] sound) O1
R: Rock/Loud/Gothish/Punk R1 R2 R3
S: Swing/Ska/Spanishish/Reggae/Skate/Surf S1 S2
T: Soundtrack T1 T2
W: Weird/Insane/Techno/Gothish?/Grunge? W1 W2 W3 W4 W5
X: Comix X1
XTVC: Christmas XTVC1

New system: I shall list the videos on each tape (links provided above). I'll also list the names of artists alphabetically by first name, with their songs; and other sorts of clips (A-Z links provided below). From now on, updates will be made to both the tape lists and alphabetical lists, but only noted in the tape lists (see "most recent updates" at the top of this page).

Alongside each clip, I will list a letter and a number. The letter is for the category, the number is for which tape of that category it is (because I do have more than one tape for most of these categories). Some clips will also have a "BV" beside the name, if I think it might not be a very good recording or if for any reason I desire a Better Version (this will only be done on the A-Z listings).
