Make a podsafe video, win $2000 USD (or maybe $5000 USD)

Lucian over at the Planet TV Show is putting together something very swanky: he's offering at least $2000 USD, and up to $5000 USD depending on the number of entries, for the best podsafe music video.

You need to watch his video podcast to get details right now, but there will be a website at podsafemusic.tv fairly soon, and he describes some of the scoop on his February 10 episode. I'll also be writing the theme music (Lucian uses "Washing Off Like an Aardvark" from my podcast as his theme for Planet TV now), and I'm planning on giving it a "Friday Night Videos" sort of vibe.

Only after listening to the "Friday Night Videos" audio clips at that website do I realize, more than 20 years later, that they're sort of '80s overproduced knockoffs of "Baba O'Riley" by The Who. I guess I shouldn't have expected to notice that when I was 13.
