Music Video Round Up For September 4th, 2015

So for those who are new to AFGM, you have to know first that I am a avid fan of music videos.  While I spent many years in my youth glued to MuchMusic (and Much More Music) for the chance to see what bands could do for a visual art.  A lot of the bands I listened to were not only telling a story in their music, but could also be translated to their visual aspects.

Sure you get a bunch of rockers to jam in front of your TV screen sometimes does not seem that appealing.  But I think the reflection of your music videos reveal how you act/look/perform in a live atmosphere.  We are in a day and age where we can view live footage from practically any band on the planet, but for many years before that, we relied on music videos and VHS/DVD releases.

So this my tribute to the forgotten art of music videos.  They haven't gone away like many friends and family claim, they just changed their medium.  So be sure to cruise through AFGM every once and awhile to discover some new artists, or to remind you of ones you might have forgotten.  Apologies to those who have slow bandwidth.  I suggest you load the page, grab a coffee/tea/beer, and come back to enjoy!
