Band manager Brian Klein and video director Alex Nam discussThe Sun's DVD album Blame It On The Youth and the breakout video for "Romantic Death."Blame It On The Youth is an appropriate title for The Sun's new album. Young music fans have essentially abandoned the CD, treating it as nothing more than a piece of disposable media containing music they rip into iTunes. So, rather than releasing the album on CD, The Sun decided to make it available as a DVD, with music videos for each song plus unprotected WAV files that users can import into their computers and portable players, or burn to CDs. Band Manager and DVD Executive Producer Brian Klein and "Romantic Death" video director Alex Nam of Aisle Five Studios joined Video Static for this special Podcast.

Blame It On The Youth includes 14 music videos that could all stand on their own outside of the collection. Receiving the most attention is Alex Nam's video for the track "Romantic Death." This clever video utilizes footage from a website called Beautiful Agony, which lets users submit video clips of the facial expressions they make while orgasming.
