It’s nearly impossible to get new videos from artists the week of their album releases. But with the magical goodness of the new YouTube playlisting feature, we can package together a bunch of videos from artists into a single playlist. The videos are sometimes crappy captures of live performances on digital devices and the audio can vary from video to video, but what a great thing. I feel like MTV is finally reborn and this time around I get to be in the driver’s seat. Hooray! We can watch videos again. No longer will we succumb to The Real World/Road Rules Challenge or My Sweet Sixteen. Being able to watch an artists video or live performance is a great way to get the feel for a band and now we have a good way to do it. This being a first crack at something like this, I don’t really think it is a great playlist but it does have some good parts. In the meantime, enjoy the videos from these artists and then go check out their new releases.
