VPotW: Seether’s “Careless Whisper”

July 14th, 2009

Since this week’s video is a bit of a retro-throwback in itself, I don’t feel so bad about having only discovered this Seether video for Careless Whisper (yes, it is a George Michael cover) almost a month after its release. Guys, I think you have to see this. Remember the old Ataris/Nintendo video games? Add [...]

VPotW: Green Day’s “21 Guns”

June 30th, 2009

This week’s edition of the Weekly Video Poll encourages you to go watch Green Day‘s video for “21 Guns“, despite whatever we say. It is a pretty cool Green Day song. That said, I can’t express enough how much the video is, well, kinda full of plot and logic holes. Like swiss cheese, or motel [...]

VPotW: the JoBros “Paranoid”

June 17th, 2009

May 26th, 2009

I knooooow you’re probably busy procrastinating doing that French assignment (you always are). But today I’m calling into question TWO of the videos from The Wedge Playlist in hopes to draw attention to a very important point: not everyone equally enjoys party times. Yes, you nod wisely, that is a very important point. So hear [...]

Canadian Alt-Rock heroes Billy Talent are in the hot-seat this week with their video for “Rusted From the Rain“. This track just so happens to be the first single from their upcoming new album Billy Talent III, which you’re probably excited about, and if you’re not you should be.
