A survey of the music videos I liked in November 2025. With 19 acts new to this platform. Once again, a marvellous blend of atmospheres and voices, sounds and images. Landscapes, forests and seas in particular, play a major role in the videos. Try playing the videos on a larger screen and connect the sound to your sound system. High volume for maximum effect.

I was moved by the death of Alice and Ellen Kessler on November 17, 2025. The German twin entertainers died together in Munich at 89 through medically assisted death, inseparable to the end. I remember seeing them dancing and singing in German TV shows when I was young. And Jimmy Cliff, the trailblazing Jamaican singer who helped popularize reggae, ska and rocksteady music over a 60-year career, died age 81, on November 24. I wonder what he thought about the great track by

Mala & Magugu.

My Monthly round up of music videos. Some great music around in October, but I managed a good mix with old favourites and new acts. With two great covers: one by Lankum, 'Ghost Town', a song from 1981 by The Specials, and 'I See A Darkness', from Will Oldham, aka Bonnie Prince Billy, from 1999, by Anna Calvi. As always play loud. The passing of David Ball, on October 22, came as a chock. He was only 66, a year younger than me. He is best known as one half of the synth-pop duo Soft Cell, alongside vocalist Marc Almond. As a tribute a link to one of the best pop tracks ever, from January 1982, the video was directed by Tim Pope, and Ball is the man standing in front of the Pink Flamingo. 'Say Hello, Wave Goodbye'

Enjoy.
