July 01, 2016 14:00 - 1 hour - 45.6 MBWow, where to start this week. Kanyes video featuring fake nude celebs is both the most talked about and most difficult to find video of the week (its exclusive to Tidal).

195. It's All Coming Back To Me
June 20, 2016 15:00 - 52 minutes - 30.7 MBThis week? Were talking about Dads. Are they part of a generation that skipped by music videos altogether? Doug showed his Dad and Paul McCartney video and his Dad loved it, so theres that. But there are more questions than answers here as we did deeper. Why did Celine Dion look like she was in her mid 40s in 1996, when she was 28? Do Moms care if theyre cool? What is Dad rock?

Meghan Trainor had to literally revoke a music video to undo some body alterations. Doug ordered Chick-fil-a on postmates and had to pay for $15 worth of honey mustard he didnt want. But there is a light at the end of the music video tunnel. We got an awesome video for Panda. We got an interesting video from M. Night Shyamalan. We got a good Radiohead video....
191. Beyonce Made a Movie Film
May 04, 2016 14:00 - 1 hour - 39.9 MBGrab some popcorn (and maybe whatever Jay Z was drinking in the Drunk in Love video) because Beyonce released pretty much what amounts to a feature film to go along with her new album.

188. Skinny Jean Overalls
April 08, 2016 14:00 - 1 hour - 39.9 MBWould you be interested in a music video that contains a lengthy sequence depicting the artist going through airport security?

If you can pay the twerking vine lady $200 to twerk in front of your song and get 1 million loops, will the film aspect of music videos suffer?
