Nightfly's Music Video Week in Review (week of 2/19/12)
As a curious matter of coincidence, two separate acts released videos last week for songs sharing the title, "When We Were Young" - both are included in this column. And for those keeping track, this is the second consecutive Week in Review featuring a video from Bleeding Knees Club. Last week provided a pretty interesting mix of videos to choose from so there's a decent chance you'll find something you might like in this entry.
My first out-of-competition video from last week is the full (rousing) performance of...
"Stronger" by Glee Cast {released 2/21 via YouTube}
Another video for Lionel Richie's upcoming duets album, Tuskegee, hit the web last week. His new album drops March 26th.

Excerpted from tonight's In Performance at the White House, here The White House Blues All-Stars - Buddy Guy, Jeff Beck, Gary Clark Jr. and Mick Jagger, under the direction of Booker T. Jones, perform Eddie Boyd's classic, "Five Long Years." Introduced by Taraji P. Henson.
Speaking of the current administration's relationship to music and music creators, the mystery of why Gibson has been targeted and when their situation (re: The Lacey Act) will be resolved is still unknown. Thursday (2/23) reason.tv released this informative webisode about the woefully perplexing situation. It's not a music video but I still thought it was worth sharing.
The Great Gibson Guitar Raid: Months Later, Still No Charges Filed [Runtime 6:04]
* Follow Gibson on twitter. I'm proud to be mutually followed by them.
On a lighter note, some famous kids you might've heard of got together and lip synched to one of their favorite jamz. In just over a week their little home video of it has garnered nearly twelve million hits. I think one can safely say this track has gotten a 'Bieber Bump.'
"Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen (Unofficial video made by Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Ashley Tisdale and friends) {released 2/18 via YouTube}
* Read about it via MTV here, then read more about it and watch Carly Rae Jepsen's official video for this track here.
