Trader Rock playlist IV

Just completed: Trader Rock playlist volume 4, a non-stop collection of hits from your favorite rock n' roll jukebox.

Press play and you'll have tunes for days. A great selection of continuous play rock whether you're in party or work/chill mode. All chronologically mixed from our last 100 blog posts.

Some of the artists and groups you'll find in Vol. 4: The Byrds, Van Halen, Aerosmith, Nirvana, Suzi Quatro, David Bowie, Sun Ra, Os Mutantes, Roxy Music, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, The Cure, Orange Juice, Rocket From The Tombs, Guns n' Roses, Nikki Sudden, Jeff Buckley, and Suede.

I've been totally lax in mentioning these playlists on the blog, as evidenced by the fact that we're already on number four and this is the first post in which I've mentioned them. Click the playlist link above to hear the full 100 song list (YouTube's embedded playlists cut off at 50 songs) and check out our Trader Rock YouTube channel for more.

Phil Collins - I Don't Care Anymore.



Now here is an artist who seems to get it.

Phil Collins, much like Bryan Ferry, seems to understand what fans are looking for on YouTube (namely, their favorite artist's music on demand and in high quality) and how easy it is to give them what they want.

When you search for a song or an original music video on YouTube these days, much of the time you're in for disappointment. The video is often quickly yanked by some mega-label or an artists' rep.

If you do find an officially sanctioned song or video clip, more often than not the video's embedding feature will be disabled, making it damn near impossible to share.

So it's a pleasant surprise when you go looking for a high quality video and find an embeddable clip from the artist's own YouTube page. Well done, Phil and Bryan. Let's hope more artists follow your lead, for the fans' sake, and their own.
