We don't know if people in radio still do this, but Two for Tuesdays used to be a popular construct. Although there were some variations, usually the station would play two songs in a row from an artist, before moving onto the next artist.

Well, as we co-opt this gimmick for the internet, we're changing it a bit. Because we're not showing two videos from the same artist. Or even two videos that are slightly related, although I'm sure with some effort you could try to draw a very thin parallel.

Nope. We're just playing two new videos that set a new standard for awesome.

In no particular order, we present:

1. Up first, Matt & Kim's Lessons Learned. If you just listen to the catchy tune and don't watch the video, you'll miss out and want to start it over from the beginning. If you stop watching before it ends, you'll miss out and need to watch it again. If you watch it the whole way through like you're supposed to, you still might want to watch it over. And over.

2. Gael García Bernal is better known for his acting than his singing...and he really puts his best acting skills forward in Quiero Que Me Quieras, a Spanish-language cover of Cheap Trick's I Want You To Want Me. Like Lessons Learned, if you just listen to Quiero Que Me Quieras and don't watch it, you will be missing out.

So the songs do have something in common, after all.
