High quality, embeddable Michael Jackson clips on YouTube

July 4, 2009 @ 11:57 am

Sometime in the past week, you may have gone to YouTube to check out a few of Michael Jackson’s music videos and realized that most of them on his official YouTube channel are of very low quality. For an official channel representing one of the biggest celebrities of all time, this is disappointing to say the least. Add on top of that the fact that none of the clips on his official channel are embeddable and you may understand why I think the official Michael Jackson YouTube channel sucks (I blame the record company).

Anyway, YouTube (or MJ’s record company) seems to be allowing a brand-new Michael Jackson channel at Michael Jackson Clips that show all of his music videos in high quality (and they’re embeddable too)!

I mean, just compare the high quality video below of “Thriller” with the quality that’s on the official Michael Jackson channel and you’ll instantly see the difference.

Head on over to Michael Jackson Clips to see all of his music videos in high quality.

Michael Jackson’s final rehearsal video

This is the last known video of Michael Jackson at a rehearsal at the Los Angeles Staples Center on June 23, 2009 (two days before his death).

Thanks Trevor (who is one of the best dancers I know and is one of the founding members of Australian dance group The Collektive)!

Good video to watch if you haven’t been following Kid Cudi’s journey to stardom. [via]

Tommy Trash – Need Me To Stay

Let this lesson be learned: Never drop the blow dryer on the wet floor where you and your friend were just showering.

This is the first track off of the 2nd disc of that Sessions Six CD I just posted.

Ministry of Sound – Sessions Six

When I get an album, I always try my hardest to like the majority of the tracks so that I can convince myself to keep the entire album in context. I have this sort of anal part of me that hates it when a song is stripped of the songs surrounding it and I think that’s why I prefer to keep full albums — even if I don’t like every track — rather than singles.

Sometimes however, this is nearly impossible. For instance, this Ministry of Sound Sessions Six compilation comes as a 3-disc set, the first (mixed by Goodwill) and third (mixed by Dirty South) of which aren’t very good. The second disc however (mixed by Tommy Trash) is a danceable gem. I like putting it on and thinking that I’m in one of the clubs in St. Kilda. Just kidding. Sorta.
