The Best Music Videos, and a Stack of Nostalgia with Dr. Kathryn and Jex Russell

And the Oscar for Best Music Video Re-enactment goes to:  JEX RUSSELL!

Folks, Jex could not make it to the show live tonight, but he prepared his list in advance and appeared by video.  And folks…Jex knocked it out of the park this week.  That’s all I’m going to say.  Jex also provided physical product in the shape of vinyl for his picks.

Between Jex, Dr. Kathryn and I, we ended up covering some of the best music videos for:

  • Canadian content
  • Impact and influence
  • Cool factor
  • Mid-80s metal icons
  • Pop classics
  • Obscure gems

What we didn’t cover, the comments section did!  Thank you for watching and commenting on this show.  On a personal note, this was a technical challenge this week as I had to manage 21 individual video files for presentation, but fortunately it went off with very few glitches!

If you watch only one thing today, watch Jex Russell’s #1 pick.

See you next week with D’Arcy Briggs and Nurse Kat as we celebrate the release of the new Arkells album Disco Loadout!

      1. It’s a good read. The sections with Rik were, for me as a huge fan, tough to read. We all hope (believe?) that those who create our favourite art or friends ‘in real life’ so to read the struggles they had was difficult. But, since the book came out, Ade has done a couple of interviews where you can audible tell how much Rik meant to him, how much those times meant to him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egVW2ZPROLU

        4. Oh wow, good topic! I did a blog post about it a few years ago, as well. *Cough cough* Def Leppard. Oh are you excited about the new Deep Purple album, by the way?
