As 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.

They Still Shoot Music Videos, Don't They?

Easily the most memorable scene in Stranger Than Fiction (reviews - via metacritic) involves a timidly strummed Will Farrell rendition of the 1977 Wreckless Eric classic - “Whole Wide World”. Covered by at least 18 acts, if this isn’t one of the best pop songs ever, I don’t know what is.
Listen - via Paul Newman’s Eyes
Get the soundtrack from the usual suspects. Buy more from Wreckless Eric, direct from the artist.
More: Whole Wide World, performed live. 1977.

From last night’s Letterman, it’s your girl Chan Marshall, performing the finger point, the Mick Jagger, the leprechaun, the gun show, plus “Living Proof.”
