Top 10 Music Related Videos I Own:










..IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER..

Director's Series, Vol. 2 - The Work of Director Chris Cunningham
Videos, installations, and other awe inspiring works by an amazing video futurist.
Replay value: HIGH

Downtown 81 - 1981 New York Music Scene
Documentary seen through the eyes of Pop-Artist Jean Michel Basquiat following the "No Wave" music scene that should've have been way bigger than what it is today. Most of the artists involved influenced all of the popular artists you here today.
Replay value: Moderate to Low

Brain Eno - 77 Million Paintings
Trippy screen savers, or "Live Paintings" as Eno calls them, made for installation purposes backed with gorgeous ambient music.
Replay value: Moderate to High

Brian Eno - 14 Video Paintings
Same concept as 77 Million Paintings only longer, more involved solid pieces. Companion piece to Eno's "Thursday Afternoon" album.
Replay value: Moderate to High

Nine Inch Nails - Closure
One day this amazing 2 cassette VHS awesomeness will see the light of day on DVD. One day.. Live concert footage from the "Downward Spiral" era of Nine Inch Nails on first cassette. On the second cassette is a collection of music videos with the coveted "Broken" movie.
Replay value: HIGH

Pink Floyd - The Wall
Amazing visual epic movie masterpiece companion to one of the most important rock albums of all time. If you haven't seen The Wall I'm not really sure why you are reading a music blog in the first place.
Replay value: Moderate to High

Pink Floyd - London 1966/1967
The beginning stages of Pink Floyd's amazing career. This is the very beginning of the psychedelic scene in Europe. Great visuals, mind bending music.
Replay value: Moderate

Pink Floyd - The Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story
A somewhat "unauthorized" documentary on Pink Floyd's original lead singer Syd Barrett.
Band members to Syd: "Syd you've done way too much acid, we, including yourself, don't even know who you are anymore.."
Syd Barrett: "Thats Syd's problem, not mine."
Replay value: Moderate

Radiohead - Meeting People Is Easy
A mini documentary following Radiohead around during the OK Computer era. Watch as this slightly known band becomes a household name.
Replay value: HIGH

Sigur Ros - Heima
Sigur Ros go back to their homeland, Iceland, and play surprise shows for their peeps. Some of the locations in this film are just so damn gorgeous it hurts.
Replay value: Moderate to High
