WillieTV
(it's like a TV show, but it really isn't)

Don't get excited, this is just a playlist of ten videos that I like at this moment for some reason or another. Basically, I figured out that I could pull this together in one window (as opposed to a bunch of separate ones) and thought, "Shit, you guys! I can make a video show like they used to have on the TV!".

Bear with me, I'm new at the web gadgetry. As such, this may not work at all. However, if it does, you're in for 48 minutes of random jank (music) video goodness. Go ahead; take a load off, kick back, rock out.

The videos:

1. The Dillinger Escape Plan: Milk Lizard
From last year's incredible "Ire Works"
2. My Morning Jacket: Evil Urges EPK
From this year's incredible "Evil Urges". This is an Electronic Press Kit, designed to give you a taste of the album, and the band as people. It's well done, and has clips from the record that might make you start to fathom its awesomeness.
3. Sons of Freedom: The Criminal
From 1988. Matt Wallace produced the Vancouver based band's self titled album right before doing "The Real Thing" with Faith No More.
4. Wintersleep: Oblivion
New single from the Haligonians' Polaris-prize nominated "Welcome to the Night Sky". I'm still serious when I say this is the best Canadian album released in the last five years.
5. The Gutter Twins: Idle Hands
From "Saturnalia". The Gutter Twins are ex-Screaming Tree Mark Lanegan and ex-Afghan Whig Greg Dulli. And this video has kids blowing shit up.
6. Carcass: No Love Lost
From the '94 metal masterpiece "Heartwork". Carcass' discography is currently being re-released with bonus DVDs and assorted other extra goodies. Get 'em before they decompose... huh-huh... get it?
7. Kyuss: Demon Cleaner
No matter how hard you try, you can't not love it. If, somehow, you actually do manage to not love it, I'm gonna have to check your papers.
8. The Mars Volta: Televators
One of the Volta's early videos, and easily their best.
9. The Black Keys: I Got Mine (Live on Letterman)
Catch 'em at Citadel Hill (along with Wintersleep and others) July 20, and you can get your ass kicked just like Dave did!
10. Tool: Parabola
Painfully long? Check. Pretentious? Check. Awesome? Double check.

On with the show...
