Week 66 Video Playlist Summary

So my vote for the best video this week goes to Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean. Such a great video to watch and so visually interesting and evocative. The other thing that makes this video appealing is Jackson’s body movements which are always also amazing. His body truly was like liquid metal.

Week 60 Playlist Video

So this week I suggest checking out the following videos. Heart of Gold by Neil Young is quite good as his introduction to the song is quite fun and shows his funny side. Also Panic at the Disc’s Gospel video is also visually provocative given the strong theme of death running through the song (if …
