They Still Shoot Music Videos, Don't They?

boards of canadaAs the end of year lists filter in (GreenCine is your spot for the most comprehensive, obsessively updated film list wrap-ups) the people over at Director File would like to remind you that the lost art of the music video is not entirely dead to the world, as their top 10 for 2006 attests to. The otherworldly Boards of Canada, Will Oldham, aka Bonnie Prince Billy (also seen in ultra-limited release Old Joy), and Yeah Yeah Yeahs all hold down spots on a list that generally strays from the beaten path of (what’s left of) music television.

Related viewing tip: More progressive audio/visual, with the likes of Prefuse 73 and Four Tet, at Flash design guru Paul Neave’s - Neave.tv. Or off to one of the sister sites to play Asteroids, or allow your eyes to bug out.

Also related, peripherally speaking - preview tracks from Mos Def’s upcoming True Magic, due December 29th.
