Welcome back to Music Video Monday, where we play the best Music Videos out There. We're going to do something a little different this time. We're getting a little animated. This video from Yancy popped up in my Youtube feed the other day, and let me say, it is a snappy little video about Joseph and his Coat of Many Colors.
The difference continues with a little bit of a delayed video. Christmas is over, but I just discovered this video from the now Synthpop band We Are Leo. It is a definitely Animated Dancing In A Snow Globe. Hey, here in the Northeast it may snow as late as May.
Finally, we take an entirely different path. This is just discovered. Project Aegis is a supergroup started by Matt Smith of Theocracy. In this case the proceeds from the song go 100% to Legacy Music, which provides music lessons and instruments to Children and Teens from Difficult Backrounds. Listen, Headbang, Buy.
That does it for this edition of Music Video Monday. Happy President's Day everyone. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
The Home of the Platinum Vinyl Awards. Reviews of New CD releases, mostly CCM but also mainstream releases that may interest the Christian Music listener. Music News and Commentary, especially when there's a CCM connection.

Music Video Monday: Cover Me
We are going to try something a bit different at the Night Beat. Usually for Music Video Monday we play the best original music videos by artists. We have had an abundance of good cover songs recently, and some of them have made videos. We want to recognize them just like we do the "original" videos. We begin with Caitie Hurst, a rising star in the Christian Music Industry. This is her cover of Hillsong United's So Will I.
Next up we go to "my band" as I like to Call Them. The Choir has been covering a bunch of mainstream music lately, and in a lot of cases making your forget the original. They are that good at making it their own. This time they redo One Republic's 2013 hit Counting Stars.
Finally we go to my favorite lady, Amy Lee and Evanescence. They recently did a remix of Fleetwood Mac's The Chain. I gave the original a listen, as I do with all covers, and I hated it. Way to country for my taste. Amy is in her Goth glory in this one for this version made for the Video Game Gear 5. Defiant Metal at its finest.
That does it for this version of Music Video Monday. We will be back with the original videos next time. Until then, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

Music Video Monday: Accepting All Condiments
Welcome Back to Music Video Monday. Things have been a bit erratic with MVM due to holidays, snow days, and even occasional winter blahs. So we have decided to make this an extra special version, and even lighten things up a bit. We begins with Colton Dixon, who dropped his new single Miracles last Friday. This is the Music Video for it.
Going a bit lighter, we move to Transform (aka Transform DJ's). With Rapper Sean Be, this is Jericho. Let's get the party started.
What The World needs now is more dancing condiments. Dream Records EDM artist Joel Vaughn has recognized this need and decided to fill it. I know, you didn't realize you needed it. But you didn't know you needed an iPhone either until Steve Jobs created one. I guarantee that everyone in this video had a blast. Here is Something New.
Finally, a bonus video. Actually this is a full concert video from one of my favorite musicians. Klayton is a talented Electronic Musician who records as Celldweller, Scandroid, and Circle of Dust, and has previously released albums as Argyle Park and Brainchild. He also runs his own record label. The music video was just released, although the concert is from 2010/11. Enjoy the magic of Celldweller.

Music Video Monday: The Parade Continues
The Christmas Parade Continues here on Music Video Monday. We are taking a break from our regularly scheduled Videos to go all Christmas Music. And I hope to keep it up until twelfth night. We begin with a new Christmas Video by Lindsey Stirling entitled We Three Gentlemen, which appears to be a medley of We Three Kings, Carol of The Bells, and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. Love the Middle East Arabian Nights feel to it. It is highly appropriate.
We are going to stay with Strings. The Annie Moses Band is a Night Beat Favorite, and this is their take on Carol of The Bells. They May not move as much as Lindsey, but there are more of them on stage.
Finally, we stay with the string motif, but we mix in some lovely electronics as well. Christmas isn't Christmas if you don't have Mannheim Steamroller. This is Joy To The World.
The Parade Continues next week. Until then, I am Awaiting Your Reply

Music Video Monday: Stirling Silver Edition
Welcome to an all new edition of Music Video Monday. We hunt out all the best Music Videos and share them with you. This week is no exception.
We Begin our musical journey with Wolves at The Gate. This is the video for A Voice In The Violence, which is on the recently released album Elcipse.
We Continue our journey with Switchfoot. It seems the Beamers have taken to criticizing the band lately, and they have decided to turn the tables. Good for them. This is Voices, which they did with the extremely beautiful and talented Rock Violinist Lindsey Stirling, who it appears also has to deal with a lot of Beamers.
And we finish our journey with a video by Lindsey Stirling herself. She has recently released an album entitled Artemis, and that brings us full circle this Music Video Monday. How is that. Well, wolves howl at the Full Moon, and Artemis was the Greek Goddess of The Moon among other things. Actually, if Artemis were around today she would be a Conservative Republican. Huntress, Wild Nature (not the Protected fake Environmentalism), Chaste, Guardian of Young Girls and Protectress of Women in Childbirth. The Goddess Liberals would Love To Hate. This is Underground.
That does it for this edition of Music Video Monday. You can check out the Night Beat rewind of Artemis by simply clicking on the highlighted title. Until next time, I am Awaitng Your Reply.

Music Video Monday: Your Therapy Awaits
Welcome Back. It's been a while since we had a Music Video Monday (It has been over a month). We will give you a little therapy to help with your withdrawal symptoms. We Begin with Sarah Reeves. She has also had to deal with the loss of Music Video Mondays and isn't ashamed to confess that it made her Anxious.
The Loss also affected Ariel Bloomer of Icon For Hire, though she didn't seem to take things as well as Sarah. I guess she's more into Gestalt Therapy. She started wrecking the therapists office. Not cool. Sometimes you need to let it all hang out so you don't feel Hollow.
I think that the best Therapy is rooted in Identity. And nowhere is identity more important than in Christianity. Religion (Christendumb) tells us "We Are Sinners Saved By Grace". You either are a Sinner or You Have Been Saved By Grace. You cannot be both or Jesus Death meant absolutely nothing. If you have accepted Jesus as your Savior and Lord you aren't a Sinner, You are a Saint. I'll let Planetboom explain it.
That does it for this long awaited therapy session. We are in a really intense period right now, so we will do our best to continue this into a trend. Until next we meet, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

Music Video Monday: It Feels Good
Welcome back to Music Video Monday. We seem to be somewhat erratic in our schedule lately. Let's see if we can get more studious now that school is in session again.
Those of you who have been with me for a while know that I pretty much despise Country Music. There are some exceptions, and that is notably Bluegrass. One genre that is greatly improved by Bluegrass is rap. When Bluegrass Meets Rap you get Whosoever South, who will release their third album in October. They're from Georgia.
Children's Music is a tough genre. Usually while the Kids are kept amused, the parents are driven crazy. The trick is to do the former while avoiding the latter. The last time it was done to perfection was on Groovy (2011) by Denver and The Mile High Orchestra. Eight years later we have done it again, with the somewhat unorthodox Modern Worship band from Northern Ireland of all places, hereby dubbed Rend Collective Kids. From their recently released album Sparkle Pop Rampage, this is Feels Good (it's an Upbeat Song).
We're mixing things up here this week Wilder Woods is the eclectic side project of Needtobreathe's Bear Rinehart. It is classically sounding music not made much anymore. It grows on you. This is Supply and Demand.

Music Video Monday: Praise on Praise
Welcome Back to an all new edition of Music Video Monday. We are going into a Modern Worship Mode this week. Time to get your praise on.
Australia is seems to be the Capital of Modern Worship these days, so we will be off to the Land of Oz. We begin with Planetshakers from Melbourne. We start with slow worship with God Is On The Throne
Staying in Australia we move from Melbourne to Sydney. Hillsong Church is the father of Modern Worship, The Second Generation. We continue on slow worship with King of Kings.
And finally, we go back to Melbourne, (Tired Yet), and go to the youth group. Planetboom is the name. This is Praise on Praise.

Music Video Monday: Unstoppable
Welcome Back to an all new edition of Music Video Monday. Last Week Was Convention Week, so there was no way we were getting in a post last week. We are back, however. And we have a first this week. This is the first edition of Music Video Monday to be branded with a Content Advisory. (Not for that, however. Get your mind out of the gutter).
Let's get this out of the way. Not a parental advisory, but let's call this a disturbing content advisory. Mike Mains and The Branches has decided to produce a music video that pushes the boundaries of good Christian Decency. I mean, adults in spandex doing exercise. My eyes, My Eyes. Live Forever, after seeing this? You have been warned. You can't unsee this.
Now that that's behind us, we can get back to normality. You know, when I saw that first video I thought "Run, Forrest, Run". You know who else thought that? Scott Stapp. The former Creed frontman just released a new solo album entitled The Space Between The Shadows. This is the Purpose For Pain.
We quiet it down just a bit for our final video. JJ Heller has always been a favorite of The Night Beat. This is the video for The Best Thing. It includes footage from the movie Bethany Hamilton: Unstoppable. See, there is always a purpose for the titles.

Music Video Monday: Legendary
Welcome back to an all new edition of Music Video Monday. Looks like we are going for three weeks in a row. That's got to be some kind of record these days, and that is not a pun.
We begin our musical tour with We Are Messengers. I go hot and cold with this band (Case in Point Maybe its okay. It really seems to make excuses for things that are wrong with your life. Just my opinion). I am going hot with their latest single. This is the lyric video for Power.
Next up, it's time to wake up Oh, Sleeper. They just released a new album entitled Bloodied/Unbowed, which received a perfect 5 Emerald rating. This is the music video for fissure.
Finally we move on to Skillet. They will be releasing Victorious on AUGUST 2, that's only 11 days away. From the songs released so far this is going to be an awesome album. This is the music video for Legendary.
That does it for this edition of Music Video Monday. We return to our 3rd Quarter rollout tomorrow. Until then, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

Music Video Monday: I Didn't Come Here To Die
Welcome Back to Music Video Monday, where we play the best Music Videos out on the web. It looks like we will get on to a weekly schedule for once. Unlike last week, however, we have videos from different artists and genres.
We begin with a video of pure beauty. Hannah Kerr is taking the Pop world by storm. This is the David Hamilton arrangement for Split The Sea.
"This life is Hell without you." Brutal honesty from War of Ages. This is the video for Miles Apart.
A blend of country, metal and industrial. It sounds like a discordant mess, but it's actually the harmony that is White Collar Sideshow. This is I didn't come here to die.
That does it for this edition of Music Video Monday. Two weeks in a row. Things are looking up. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

Music Video Monday: Peace Signs
Welcome to an all new edition of Music Video Monday. We share the best videos in Christian Contemporary Music and the Fringe here. And we seem to be in a every other week schedule. Hopefully we will get on an every week session soon.
It is the Summer, and it will be a Rocket Summer. The band will be releasing a new album entitled Sweet Shivers on August 2, and he has been dribbling out the singles, and Music Videos. So, in the spirit of laziness, we shall do an all Rocket Summer edition.
We begin with the Music Video for Shatter Us, which came out a month ago, and was the first song released.
The Second Song, which Missed My attention (I Know, Shocking), is Morning Light.
And the final song for the week is Peace Signs. In the every other week pattern we seem to be in I caught the release for this one.
That does it for this week. Let's try to keep it all on track. We will return with other artists next week. Until then, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

Music Video Monday: Head Above Water
Welcome to an all new edition of Music Video Mondays. We have a doozie this time. Let's get things started. We begin with a new video by Emery. They will be coming out with a new album soon (Yea!) and have been dribbling out some songs to get our appetite going. Is This The Real Life?
Next up we have Pat Barrett. Recently he teamed up with Amanda Cook and Steffany Gretzinger. This is Sails.
And finally, a bit of a cross-over. Avril Lavigne was a pop princess back in the day, and then seemed to slip off the scene. She has re-emerged with a New Found Faith. This is the extremely powerful Head Above Water. Welcome to The Night Beat Avril.

Music Video Monday: God Only Knows
Welcome to another edition of Music Video Monday. July is just about over, and with it the first third of the final quarter of #PlatVnyl9. Let's get right to it.
We begin with a little wrap or Rap. This is Aaron Cole. He's Down Like That.
We continue with some Pop and Shelly E Johnson. She's Home.
And we finish off with For King and Country. They are continuing their trend of a song and video a month to kick off their new album. This is God Only Knows.
Sometimes I feel we could say that about Music Video Monday, but we wont. Until next we meet, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

Music Video Monday:
Welcome back to Music Video Monday. Things are heating up here at Night Beat HQ right along with the weather. First up we have Austin French. He's Born Again and wants everyone to know it.
Next up we go to cover an escape, as in The Young Escape. They have been dancing around the edges of the big time lately and have released a new video featuring rapper nobidgyl. I don't know if that helps or hurts, but it is what it is. This is Love Me Like You.
Finally we go to Branan Murphy, who seems to be primed to rocket up the radio charts. This is My Life.

Music Video Monday: Pioneers
Welcome back to Music Video Monday. We usually share the latest Music Videos, but this Summer we are going back to the 80's and sharing some of the Classic Christian Videos, some of which got banned by MTV back when the letters meant Music Television. These are the Pioneers of Christian Music.
We begin with something new. For King and Country is on a roll, releasing a song a month until the new album. The first one up, done with their wives is appropriately called Pioneers. We begin with it this week.
On to the classics. One of the Pioneers of Christian Music is "Uncle Randy" aka Randy Stonehill. Randy is one of the original Jesus Music Era artist and was blessed with a "Slightly Unhinged" sense of humor. Definitely not PC. Of course that made him an instant hit with the youth. This is Love Beyond Reason.
Finally, we go with another artist who had an unhinged sense of humor. Steve Taylor. Get in the Lifeboat.

Music Video Monday: Night Beat Classic Edition
Welcome to an all new edition of Music Video Monday, where we play the latest music videos on the web. Scratch that. This is Summer, and we are shaking things up.
The Night Beat started in 1984 as a radio show, and this Summer we are going back in time to share the music videos from when the show was on the air and during the time that the show and concept was in hibernation. So roughly we are talking 1984-2010.
We start with the 77's. One of the founders of Christian Alternative music along with The Choir. They got their moment in the limelight stolen from them by their label which also had rights to an obscure group from Ireland called U2. From their 1984 Exit release All Fall Down. This is Ba Ba Ba
Next up we go to Jesus Music Era band (at least the later portions) DeGarmo and Key. This is the music video for 666, the most famous and controversial Christian Video of All Time (banned by MTV).
Finally we check out the ceremony of the Altar Boys. From the 1986 release Gut Level Music, this is the video for You Are Loved.
That does it for this special collection. We will try to hunt up more classic videos as the Summer heats up. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

Music Video Monday: The Breakup Song
Welcome to an all new edition of Music Video Monday. Happy Summer everyone. The weather is heating up, and so is the music. The bands are ready for the action. This is Seventh Day Slumber saying Bring it on.
Next up we have one of my all-time favorite bands, Evanescence. From the orchestra accompanied Synthesis tour, this is Hi-Lo featuring Lindsay Stirling. Emeralds always look better in a setting of Stirling Silver.
I'm gonna wash that man right out of my hair. Sorry, musical flashback. Well the South Pacific song is about a relationship breakup. Our final video is from Francesca Battistelli, and a different kind of Breakup Song.
That does it for this edition of Music Video Monday. Until next time, I am awaiting your reply.

Music Video Monday: Resurrection
Welcome to an all new edition of Music Video Monday. Christian music is all about the resurrection. And forgiveness and redemption. All three things are involved in this edition of Music Video Monday.
We begin with another Choir Video. A lyric video isn't what they used to be these days. Now there isn't much of a difference between a lyric and a regular music video. from Bloodshot this is the lyric video for The Time Has Come.
Next up we have Owl City. The band has released Cinematic this month, and it is an interesting Pop/Dance mix. It is a good example of stretching professionally. This is the video for Lucid Dream.
Finally the resurrection part. There was a metalcore by the name of As I Lay Dying which soared to the top of Night Beat Rankings. And then one of their members was convicted of attempting to hire a hit man to kill his wife. The attempt failed because the hitman was an undercover cop. The band member went to jail. The band broke up and was resurrected as Wovenwar. Two albums were released. Jail sentence over, the member has asked for forgiveness for things said in jail, forgiveness is given and the band is reunited. This is As I Lay Dying, Part Deux, and My Own Grave.

Music Video Monday: Californians On Ice
Welcome Back to the long forsaken Music Video Monday. Can you believe it was March the last time we were together in this format (March 12 to be exact). We are back, hopefully for good. Let's start the videos.
First up we have For King and Country (Joel and Luke Smallbone, brothers of Rebecca St. James). This is the music video for Joy.
Next up we go Metal. The Lamb and The Lion are not yet playing together, but we seem to be in the Millennial Reign. From their new album The Great Divide, this is Break The Tide.
Finally June began with a somewhat surprise release by Alternative Pioneers The Choir. There has been so much discussion about the 25th Anniversary of Kissers and Killers and the 30th Anniversary of Chase The Kangaroo. With so much on the table it is easy to miss the new release of Bloodshot. This is the lyric video for Californians on Ice (an unmitigated disaster). I think they have been taking lessons from Steve Taylor in sarcasm.
That does it for this edition of Music Video Monday. Until next time, which should be next Monday, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
