Alabama Tornado Damage (via cfnews13.com)

The plan for this week’s Sunday Night Videos was to showcase a few new songs – since I went with some of my person favs last week – and then throw out some of my favorite holiday videos. But, with Brittany Murphy’s death today, I’ve decided to showcase her video as Video of the Week. That bumped Julian Lennon’s new video for “Lucy” to co-Video of the Week.

Artists featured this week (new videos) include: Julian Lennon, Capgun Coup, The Pity Party, Phil and the Osophers, Dodos and Gringo Star. Holidays videos are by: Julian Casablancas, Band Aid, The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl, Alabama, Adam Sandler, Paul McCartney, Run DMC, No Doubt, David Bowie and Bing Crosby, Dan Fogelberg and Wham!.
