I love going down that rabbit hole so much that for about 4 years or so, I hosted a screening series at a small artist space in British Columbia to share what I'd found. Each edition, I paired up with an artist, gave them a loose theme where our music tastes merged and ask them to deejay between the the two half hour video programs. The deal for me was that it had to have been broadcast on TV. What amazed me was how the technology and sophistication of broadcasting became, and how artful and adventurous the Europeans were with shows like Musik Laden and Rock Palast. I ended up collecting them onto a Youtube channel; if you're interested let me know and I'll send you a link.

Appreciate this, cuz bands really did kill it on tv.

Me in the first few seconds: Ok, that's a killer guitar.

Me at the 12 second mark: OH HELL YES!

Atomic Rooster rules, but that? It kills.
