Peter’s top 3 videos that can’t play on this page

// Thursday, November 5th, 2009 by Peter Grumbine

My disdain for the major labels is well documented. The mass-produced, cookie cutter, bullshit “music” that major labels spoonfeed the masses sucks, and so do their new media business practices. Now that these two factors have lined up, it’s only a matter of time before the majors go the way of the dinosaur and Chrysler. This makes me very happy. Come, share my joy and passing anger, with my top three videos that can not be embedded.

1. Blur, “Country House

I’m pretty sure Damon would be delighted for music bloggers to be able to embed this video and feature the song 14 fucking years after its release. And hell, that might even help the label move some units to a new, younger audience.

2. Ryan Adams, “Answering Bell”

Any song with a banjo in it is meant to be shared.

3. Weezer, “El Scorcho

So now what the fuck am I supposed to post on half-Japanese girls’ facebook pages?
