Peter Gabriel has thanked director Josh Safdie for including his 1982 song “I Have the Touch” in the upcoming Timothée Chalamet-starring film Marty Supreme, even though he hasn’t yet seen it. The movie features Chalamet as a 1950s-era rising table tennis star alongside Gywneth Paltrow and Odessa A’zion and will be released on Christmas Day. […]
Visual artist and puppeteer Wayne White doesn’t claim to be a good musician, at least not in the traditional sense. But then again, nothing is traditional when it comes to White. And he prefers it that way. White is a man you may not be familiar with, but his work you’ve most definitely seen. As […]
Lists like this are set up to fail, and, in line with the inevitable, this one fails too. But we never kidded ourselves, nor intended to kid you, that we could succeed in definitively choosing the 40 greatest, most important, creative, and successful music makers in the last 40 years. Many great artists didn’t make […]

Music videos are the perfect bastard child of art and commerce, even more than pop music itself. A promotional visual accompaniment to a popular song doesn’t need a coherent narrative (although on rare occasions, they do).

Three of the 100 are in this picture! The Rolling Stones, in 1964, from left to right: Bill Wyman, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Brian Jones. The problem with lists like this is they are invariably bullshit. So our prime objective was to make sure we didn’t do a bullshit list. I’m not saying we did a scientific one […]
