the olive ream

Courtesy youtube, I shall be highlighting a few of my favourite music videos here – to introduce alternatives, lift the spirits, inspire the soul and regulate your bowel movements (if nothing else). So sit back, relax, and enjoy the music (if you can). I promise you, you won’t find any Britney Spears, Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, Jessica Simpson, Boy band, Girl band type shite here that may cause you to slit your wrists. If you are interested in that kind of ‘thing’, go watch MTV cause I ain’t selling ‘crazy’ here for no one.
