Noel Gallagher in 1989
"No video, but audio of a demo called Hey You that Noel Gallagher recorded in 1989, two years before he joined Oasis. Erm, let's just say he's come quite a way. As has a teenage Peter Doherty, queuing to buy Oasis's Be Here Now in 1997. What a sensible young man he seemed." ML

My Morning Jacket play Touch Me I'm Going To Scream Part II in the back of a taxi
"The idea is simple yet incredibly entertaining: artists perform stripped-down versions of their songs in the back of a taxi as it cruises around London. If you haven't seen any of the Black Cab Sessions before, we'd suggest checking out not only the stunning My Morning Jacket performance above, but also similarly stellar cab-based brilliance from Seasick Steve, Fleet Foxes, Cold War Kids and Death Cab For Cutie."

Noel Gallagher and Gem Archer perform Listen Up
"Listen Up is one of several great but often-overlooked early Oasis b-sides hamstrung by pretty rough production. The song is given room to breathe in this arrangement, taken from a 2006 promotional tour in support of Stop The Clocks, the Oasis 'best of' compilation. To find out what life in the Oasis camp is like circa 2008, listen to what Noel had to say when we spoke to him last week." CV

MC5: Ramblin Rose (Live in Detroit, 1970)
"In 'celebration' of the news that the guitar trio of Wayne Kramer (MC5), Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains) and Gilby Clarke (Guns N' Roses, 'MC5') are to "update and modernize the sound" (don't get me started…) of Kick Out The Jams for Guitar Hero World Tour, it's time for some genuine punk fury. Check out this clip of Kramer at his best at Wayne State University's Tartar Field in Detroit, introduced by the distinctly groovesome Gail. "Don't freak out, this is really a television programme!" Hell yeah! Fuck Hudson's!" MG

Little Feat: Rock and Roll Doctor (Live Ultrasonic Studios, 1974)
"If you like country with a funky beat…" More live treats with this clip of Lowell George at his dirty best. Country rock fans will know the story of the rare-as-hell Electrif Lycanthrope bootleg and some will know that you can legally download quality flac files of the whole set at Internet Archive (just head here now). However what most won't know is this video footage exists. More clips are available now and our YouTuber promises more in the coming months. If you think good country rock stops with Gram Parsons or Neil Young, think again. And then go here to see Lowell demonstate how he gets that greasy bottleneck sound. Learn, young country jedis, learn!" MG

Pearl Jam's Jeff Avent falls over, makes it look intentional
"With Avent's first solo album on the horizon, it's worth taking a look at the bassist in action. Watch how Jeff effortlessly continues to play after slipping on stage during Pearl Jam's Why Go." TP

Korg DS-10 jamming with a couple of iPhones
"One enterprising artist has already made an entire album using Nintendo's Korg DS-10 and this iBand jamming session makes it easy to see how. Seriously, the possibilities are endless." TP

The Beatles - rehearsing Hey Jude
It was 40 years ago this week that The Beatles released the biggest single of their career, Hey Jude/Revolution. While many have seen the clip of the band's jubilant performance of Hey Jude on The David Frost Show, few have witnessed how the song came together in rehearsals. Interesting that George Harrison isn't involved in the proceedings - he mainly talks to George Martin in the control room. Also notable is the lack of rancor that would split the band apart only months later.
