Awesome Music Videos, Vol. 1 is a DVD compilation of classic music videos, in which I serve as a VJ and perform skits to segue between songs. The DVD includes written commentary on the videos, considered as cultural artifacts that offer clues about our ever-changing aesthetic and spiritual values, and has been distributed widely to friends.

The three videos below are skits from the compilation.
