Video of the Week
Today is MTV’s 40th birthday, and in celebration of that event, I’ve got not just a video for you, but a whole playlist of them! A while back, Jason Gross, Eric Vardeman, and I had gotten together on a podcast to discuss MTV. One of the topics that came up was our favorite music videos from through the years. Various videos kept flowing from our brains, so I went and made a playlist of all the ones we talked about. Carve out an hour or two for yourself and watch through all these glorious old videos to celebrate MTV’s milestone.
