I launched Seen Your Video just over a year ago and to commemorate our anniversary, I've made a long-overdue list of the Best Music Videos of 2000s . While researching the 2K decade in music videos, I found it largely to be a story of two halves. The first half was dominated by groundbreaking visionaries like Michel Gondry , Spike Jonze , Mark Romanek and Floria Sigismondi , many of whom, after leaving their mark on music videos have gone on to successful careers in feature films. The other defining characteristic of the early [...]
If that was winter, we guess it's pretty much over, which is depressing news for those of us who actually enjoy the snow (and for anyone worried about, y'know, global warming and the future of the planet.) We're already looking wistfully back at the photos we published a couple of weeks back of famous authors playing in the snow , and we thought we'd follow up today with similar images of musicians. These were somewhat more difficult to track down — a legacy, perhaps, of the fact that musicians as a whole aren't exactly noted for being outdoor types — [...]
El próximo 25 de octubre llega a Barcelona una nueva edición del Beefeater In-Edit . El festival nació en 2003 con la misión de convertirse en una ventana internacional del documental musical. Como festejo por su décimo aniversario, decidieron sorprender a la audiencia y realizar una lista con los 100 mejores documentales de música . La votación se llevó a cabo gracias a la colaboración de directores, músicos, críticos de cine, programadores y periodistas especializados. En el primer [...]

Lollapalooza 2012 starts on Friday at Chicago's Grant Park. We're sending our friend Jimmy Coulas of Scents and Subtle Sounds to cover the three-day fest for us and he's prepared a list of five can't miss bands set to perform at this weekend's event. 1. Black Sabbath When : Friday 8:05 - 10PM Where : Bud Light Stage Heavy metal legends Black Sabbath will help close out the first night of [...]
Let's face it, it's an impossible task for any concert film made in the 21st century to live up to the golden standard set by The Last Waltz and Stop Making Sense decades ago. If you read any best-of list for concert films, one of those two is bound to be in the top spot. They're both so ingrained as all-time classics that they'll be topping lists 50 years from now. However, recent years have provided music lovers plenty of reasons to keep watching, and with the premiere of LCD Soundsystem's highly anticipated Shut [...]

Man, oh man. What have we got here? Looks like the full list of Record Store Day releases has just hit the interwebs. Consider this the ultimate shopping list. Feel free to peruse the list over at RSD's official website but I'd like to point out some of the hot items hitting your local independent record store this April 21st.

Hello Ickies! I know I’ve been absent from posting for far too long. I shall try harder in 2010 (though I think I said the same thing last year). The first decade of the new millennium produced some great music, from established artists and from new folks. Keeping with the format set forth by Mark and Pete, I offer my top 10 of the decade. Narrowing it to ten was a near impossible task. I adopted Pete’s “one album per artist rule,” which helped. Also know that these are in no order [...]
You may notice a few differences between this list and the album list. I don't feel I need to justify that due to the distinct difference between a song and a full album. These are the songs that I still listen to on repeat; they made me laugh, tear up, dance, think, and morph my own tastes into what they are today. So here in no particular order is my Favorite Songs of the Decade. Picking a favorite song is like picking a favorite child, it changes depending on your mood... ___ [Audio clip: view full [...]
A countdown of the top records of the decade.
Filed under: The Hit List There are dozens of late-night talk show performances every week, so picking the 10 best from this decade was no easy feat. Plenty of great bands invariably didn't make the cut, and plenty of great performances didn't quite have that "wow" factor. The following -- be it how it made us forget we were watching the tail end of a TV show, induced goose bumps or, in the case of the White Stripes clip, encouraged us to immediately take up the guitar -- blew us away. [Editor's note: [...]
Three Irish albums make it in to our penultimate count down, one from a new name, one from an old name and one from a name that was only with us for a frustratingly short while. Elsewhere there's a strong European and American feel, with only a loud mouth from Birmingham representing for the UK... Albums of the decade: 50-41 | 40-31 | 30-21 | 20-11 20. Sigur Ros – ( ) (2002) After being justifiably praised on high for 1999’s Ágætis [...]
After much thought, I decided that I wasn't satisfied with my original list, nor my execution of it. I have done a lot of reviewing and listening over the last few weeks for both the Decade-End and Year-End celebration that you will see here in the coming weeks. This has helped me through the revision and tightening of this list. I will reveal PMA's picks for Best Songs of the Decade in three parts; each part will contain 25 songs that will make up a new episode of the pmaCAST. Here are songs #75 to 51: [...]
La scorsa settimana abbiamo terminato il nostro viaggio attraverso gli album più importanti del decennio che si sta concludendo. Abbiamo quindi pensato di riassumere il tutto in questo post che non è altro che la lista completa, tappa per tappa, degli album che di volta in volta abbiamo approfondito, in modo tale da avere una sorta di indice delle varie puntate. Dopo il salto trovate anche la listona di tutti gli album che di anno in anno sono stati inseriti fra "gli album da salvare". [...]
Estoy seguro de que absolutamente nadie pensaba en el año 2000, que casi 10 años después estaríamos frente a una serie de discos que nos han marcado de por vida (frase trillada adaptada al sentimiento de todo melómano), es decir toda una década plagada de discos muy buenos (y otros no tanto). La gente de Pitchfork se puso a trabajar en el tema y eligió lo que según sus editores, representan los mejores 200 discos de la década , es un tanto predecible saber que nombres pueden [...]

Previously: Best album of 2000 (Readers' Choice & PMA's Choice) We've set out to find the 10 best albums of the decade, according to our readers as well as our own personal favorite. So this gives us a maximum of listing the 20 best albums of the 2000s. Though I haven't ruled out the possibility that the Readers' and PMA's choices might be the same album. So we'll play this by ear. Like last time, I'll list ten candidates for best album of 2001. These candidates are determined by their inclusion in various [...]
