that tweet has more than 3 hours ago and I've see it in like 2 threads but ok whateverrr it was was just to let you know
I know many won't care about this here on ATRL, but I needed to share it. MTV2's been doing these "VMA Flashback Playlists" for different categories this week at 8:00 am. Yesterday they did Best Hip-Hop Video, tomorrow they do Best Rock Video, and today they did one for Breakthrough Video. It was possibly one of the finest hours of music television I've seen in a long time, and I'm glad I DVR'd it (I'll keep it for as long as I can). So many GREAT videos bringing back so many great memories!!!! Anyway, these are the videos they played:
Can't put enough smileys to express my happiness with this Playlist!!! It was really, really nice seeing all of these videos on TV after a long time. Shame they skipped over The Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" (the 1998 winner), but I guess it's still too controversial for daytime TV...
Also, I wouldn't have minded it if they had shown some earlier winners and skipped some of these. I could've died peacefully had I also gotten to see the Art of Noise's "Kiss," INXS's "Need You Tonight," Weezer's "Buddy Holly," R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion," etc. Still, a big thumbs up to MTV2 for this Playlist.
If you're interested, tune in tomorrow at 8:00 am (or if you're like me DVR/record it) to see some past Best Rock Video winners. Next week they have VMA Nominee Playlists (from Tuesday to Thursday @ 8:00 am), but something tells me they will go back to VMA Flashback Playlists sometime afterwards as the VMAs approach.

Gorillaz's "Stylo" really needs to win the Breakthrough Video award in my opinion. AWESOME video!

I think Cascada definitely deserve that award. That video is so memorable and it suited the song well.
GaGa definitely deserves that award. "Bad Romance" owned as far as music videos go this year

Sorry, but I'm 100% rooting for Coldplay on that category. All nominees are deserving, but Coldplay deserves the win for me. It was the one video in that category that I feel broke the most ground in the art of music video making. It's professionally well-done, conceptually striking, and visually stunning. Totally deserving. Plus, Coldplay should've been nominated last year for "Life in Technicolor" had MTV not chosen to turn the award into a "Best Indie Video" category and on top of that make it fan-voted (Matt & Kim win over Gnarls Barkley = )
Also, I'm still mad at MTV robbing Sarah McLachlan of her 2005 moonman to give it to "Feel Good Inc." (most likely to reward them for having to choose "Weapon of Choice" over "Clint Eastwood" in 2001). "Stylo" is a great video, but nothing too different from the rest of Gorillaz's videography (nor anything I hadn't come to expect from them). The most groundbreaking things about that video are the band members being in 3D (although "Feel Good Inc." was already mostly a 3D video, save for the characters) and a memorable cameo by Bruce Willis (but memorable cameos have been done before, and perfected by Christopher Walken's appearance on "Weapon of Choice").
Who knows what MTV will do, though? Gorillaz and Coldplay are the definite front-runners, and if either wins, this will create a 3-way tie for most wins in this category (tying R.E.M. and Fatboy Slim with 2 wins). But for all we know MTV might throw us a curve ball and give it to the Black Keys' great video. We'll just have to wait for the announcement.
Oh, and here's Sarah McLachlan's video that SHOULD have won in 2005:
Another one with videos worth seeing one more time on TV. So many repeat winners, though!!! And yet we still managed to miss any of Aerosmith's FOUR winning videos (though had they started in 1998 we would've seen one of them, "Pink").
Anyway, if this is what they did for the Playlist on Tuesday, this is what it would've looked like:
Hmmm, I wonder if those were the videos they showed... Given that the Black Eyed Peas were banned, they might not have shown "My Humps," but they MUST have it in their video vault, so they probably still showed it. Now I wish I had seen this one, if anything also to see all the winners through 2005, which were AWESOME!!!!
