16:58 - I'm not done finding myself

I'd been having a heck of a time finding the music that had reportedly cost Cartoon Network a bundle for the opening montage in the season premiere of Venture Bros., "Powerless in the Face of Death", as reported in their bump that preceded it. Turns out this guy has done the hard work for me.
That intro is almost Zen-like in its construction: in a few quick takes it establishes the entire universe and all its players' positions within the storyline, and keys them all to the music in such a deft a way that it must have been true that it could not have been done properly with any other song.
And then they did it even better with the following week's intro to "Hate Floats".
Ten years from now we'll be looking back on these days the way we do now on the first few seasons of The Simpsons. I love it when we get to witness storytelling history in the making.
