Music video treasure hunt!
Whether you hoard or you data-mine, your contribution is crucial: please help complete the singular&awesome Top 100 music videos list published here by mvstills. 100-91, 90-81, 80-71, 70-61, 60-51, 50-31, 30-11, 10-1
In order to distribute a nice 'ville-abetted Christmas torrent of these one hundred videos in their best available form, there's a minority of them that need to be found in sufficient video quality (minimum width: 640px) - the list is right after the jump.
Please contribute any direct links you may know of, or provide Wetransfer (or similar) download links, in the comments, so that 'villian elves can finish stuffing the collective Christmas stocking in time for the holidays.
Ho...ho...ho...

here's a link to Club Foot
progosk - send me your email address and I'll email you the remaining WIZ & Giuseppe Capotondi vids. I don't have space to host them on our site...
it's in my nick, steve, thx muchly. brigs (et al): send me your mail and i'll invite you to an (albeit somewhat limited) dropbox folder i made for the purpose.
first dozen contributions are in (thx steve & brigs), though the ones updated in italics are still somewhat substandard (the NIN is large enough but pretty poor definition/datarate). keep'em coming!
ok, halfway there! (thx moritz, too.)
I'm excited now :)
5 more prog. that ends my contribution, i leave the rest to the lot of you. peace out
quite a stash you had there, b. so - monkmus, romanek, stylewar, j scott - completists: we await you...
(thx, masked krusader!) so, pretty much just the south american contigent needed now to round things out properly. hombres, hermanos - ¡vamonos!
by the bye - no Antville Awards this year, huh? for to shame...
no awards?!? come on… can i help?
I'm with you, brigs.
it's all doable, guys: see here and here for last year's version (where almotasim did the heavy lifting). It's a little late already, but as long as you avoid having to reinvent the whole formula you might still make it. I'm in a similar time-predicament as last year, so: it's up to 'villians-all.
i'm on it.
(coolth. if you're into opening the question of new/different categories, i'd cast a vote for best commissioning artist - but i'll leave it you. get in touch for any pointers if needed.)
as time is of the essence, i would leave questions for next year. i'm putting "best commissioning artist" in and rolling with it.
bittorrent users: please drop me a line to test the torrent file.
torrent file is now working; will post a public link shortly. meantime, if you want a headstart, mail me and i'll send it to you direct.
