Pitchfork just published their "The Year in Photos" list, a collection of photographs of musicians and performances from 2007 -- and there are some damn good pics.

Pitchfork's unranked Top 25 Music Videos of 2006. Many great videos here, some of which I've linked to before, but of the ones I haven't seen, I liked this Basement Jaxx video the best, mostly because I like dancing bears.

My commenters might not dig it, but Pitchfork has given Joanna Newsom's Ys a 9.4, tied with their highest score so far of 2006.
The people who hear this record will split into two crowds: The ones who think it's silly and precious, and the ones who, once they hear it, won't be able to live without it.
I'm much closer to the latter. (8) #11/13/2006

Pitchfork wraps up their weeklong feature listing the 200 greatest songs of the 1960's. The Beach Boys' "God Only Knows" takes the cake, followed by The Jackson 5 ("I Want You Back"), Sam Cooke ("A Change Is Gonna Come"), Bob Dylan ("Like a Rolling Stone"), and The Beatles ("A Day in the Life").

City Pages, a Minneapolis alternative weekly, writes about the history of pitchforkmedia.com and describes the "Pitchfork effect," which is what happens when a small band is lauded by the site and suddenly becomes huge. For comparison, see the Slashdot effect. (via ss)

Pitchfork Media's 100 Awesome Music Videos feature has collected 100 YouTube clips of various music videos of the past several decades. Two parts nostalgia, one part art.

I haven't posted any year end lists since linking to fimoculous's massive aggregation, but I want to point out three that I usually check out each year: Roger Ebert's Best Ten Movies of 2005, Pitchfork's Top 50 Albums of 2005, and Sight & Sound's Films of the Year.

Pitchfork gets some 'best of 2005' lists from a bunch of their favorite artists, including folks from The Decemberists, Wilco, Caribou, LCD Soundsystem, Broken Social Scene, Prefuse 73, etc. If you want to greatly increase your collection of obscure music, start here.
