If you grew up in Australia in the 80s-00s you'll no doubt remember waking up early and watching the best music clips count down on ABC's Rage. Learning all the dance moves in time with the video clip and belting out the lyrics to your favourite bands was something that happened in lounge rooms all across the country. On this episode we chat to Ben Harrison, a creative who recently had his first music video on Rage. Take a trip down memory lane with us as we chat about our favourite video clips of all time. The good, bad and the ugly and how music and film are connected in today's culture.
