Vince Nitro’s Private Reserve – 14 (80s Week 7) Peter Gabriel – Sledgehammer
And here we wrap up our week-long look at the music videos of the 80s with one that most everyone ought to remember. The whole song is a long series of sexual euphamisms, making this the spiritual forefather to the … Continue reading
Vince Nitro’s Private Reserve – 13 (80s Week 6) Jolly Tambourine Man – Apple Strudel Man
From what I’ve gathered looking them up, Jolly Tambourine Man were an indie punk band out of Toronto. All I can say is, I saw this video once when I was young. Just once. It stuck with me enough that … Continue reading
Vince Nitro’s Private Reserve – 12 (80s Week 5) Michael Jackson – Leave Me Alone
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJvfnQ_E7uw Today brings us back to Michael Jackson again. His contribution to Rockwell’s tune was memorable and was probably the single most important reason why it got noticed at all, but it would be a pretty weak 80s week if … Continue reading

Day three in our little jaunt through 80s music videos brings us to Rockwell’s doorstep. Nevermind the insurance commercials with the google-eyed pile of money following people around to this tune, the video is great in it’s own right.
Vince Nitro’s Private Reserve – 9 (80s Week 2) MC 900 Ft. Jesus – Truth Is Out of Style
Here we have an offering from MC 900 Ft. Jesus. I’ve heard him described as the forefather of Nerdcore rap, and I find myself hard pressed to argue with that claim. I saw this video as a child and the … Continue reading
Vince Nitro’s Private Reserve – 8 (80s Week 1) Gowan – A Criminal Mind
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFTKLEOkCAY Like I said yesterday, this marks the first day in a weeklong look at 80s music videos. Today’s entry comes from Canada’s own Gowan. He wins the first spot in this feature by the grace of his facial expressions … Continue reading
