Every month I do these Best Of Lists and I'm always struck by how the Internet half-life of a music video is so short. I rewatch something that's just three weeks old and it's already been forgotten before it's even had a chance. So if you missed Willy Moon the first time around, or if the Green Day video got overshadowed by gossip, here's your chance...
Also, this month there was a ton of really really (really) good stuff, way more than I could possibly put here without it being a pure recap of every video from the past month. And there were a few things that weren't on YouTube so couldn't be put in the playlist. So, apologies in advance.
Embedded playlist below so you can watch em sequentially, or hit the individual links for context, commentary and more.
