I’m not a person that would consider themself “artsy” in any way. When I watch a music video I don’t look for cinematography or camera angle, I look  to be entertained for a few minutes, for something that is going to keep me interested and guessing as to what is going to happen next. That being said, making a list of top ten videos of the year without them being also my favorite tracks of the year is difficult. But I’ll try.

10. Matt & Kim – “Lessons Learned”

9.Modest Mouse – “King Rat”

8. The Avett Brothers – “Slight Figure of Speech”

7. The Swell Season – “Low Rising”

6. Arctic Monkeys – “Cornerstone”

5. Fever Ray – “When I Grow Up”

4. Lucky Pineapple – “Moment On An Empty Street”

3. Ramona Falls – “I Say Fever”

2. The Low Anthem – “Charlie Darwin”

1. The Decemberists – “The Rake’s Song”
