<p>Sure, AC/DC may be behind the times on digital distribution. And they could be described as &#8220;in denial&#8221; about the death of the music album, but this Microsoft Excel spreadsheet music video, while not condoned by the band in any way, is rockin&#8217; our Hell&#8217;s Bells this fine Sunday afternoon. Better still, this &#8220;music video&#8221; was designed with the corporate drone in mind&mdash;spreadsheets navigate office firewalls with ease!</p>
<p>The video is the fine work of Phil Clandillon and Steve Milbourne, who work at a division of Sony/BMG in London. They call this &#8220;the world&#8217;s first music video in Excel format.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Basically, it&#8217;s come about because we recognised that a lot of people have fairly restrictive internet and security policies at work,&#8221; said Clandillon inan interview with Wired.com. &#8220;What we really liked was that we could actually subvert the corporate firewalls by including AC/DC&#8217;s music in an Excel spreadsheet, because that&#8217;s allowed through every corporate firewall there is.&#8221;</p>
<p>If you want, you can download the spreadsheet at the <a href="http://www.acdcrocks.com/excel">AC/DC rocks web site,</a> and start sharing today. No Macs allowed. [<a href="http://blog.wired.com/music/2008/10/acdc-music-vide.html">Wired</a>]</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img alt="acdc.gif" src="http://gizmodo.com/assets/resources/2007/08/acdc.gif" width="324" height="323" class="center" />While <a href="http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2007/08/led_zeppelin_to_finally_show_i.html">Led Zeppelin is half-assedly bringing their music to iTunes</a>, AC/DC is taking an altogether different route: Their catalog is going to&#8230; Verizon? Yes, AC/DCs music is going exclusively to Verizon&#8217;s music store for some reason.</p>
<p>The strange thing is, you&#8217;ll only be able to download one song to your phone (You Shook Me All Night Long), and the albums are running for $12, more than their Amazon counterparts and more than they&#8217;d cost on iTunes. Oh, and you can&#8217;t download single tracks, just entire albums. Great work, AC/DC! I&#8217;m sure this&#8217;ll move a lot of albums for you.
