I didn't exactly plan on posting a series of video clips but this seemed like a nice bastardization of a mix-tape. Great "live" performances. Moments where emotional purity and truth pour through. So for it's inaugural run I chose two clips. A painfully sincere emotionally disturbing performance by Jacques Brel singing Ne Me Quitte Pas directly to the camera, in close up. Crying. It's one of those moments when you can't believe anyone would render themselves so utter naked before others. This was presumably filmed before an audience, with a television crew, and yet you feel he is utter alone sining only to a lover. Pleading
Transsexual singer-songwriter Antony of Antony and the Johnsons performing what is perhaps the most upliftingly honest song about abusive relationships, SM, and love ever written. I could gush forever about the emotional purity of Antony's voice or recount his origins in drag cabaret acts and his rise to cult stardom, but I shant here. Just listen to this amazing talent.
