rolling awesome videos of 2009

inspired by the emergence of

this one is my favourite but not on youtube -

electrik red - drink in my cup

why are the YYYs playing at the bronze?

train orgies! dance breaks in subway stations and parking lots! leather jackets! the disco stick!

why are you ruining this thread

are those suspiria references in the middle of that first gaga video?

that rich girl song is great - rich harrison from DC did the production (just looked it up because I was like, wait, there is a go-go beat in there!)
