Summary: Indy Rock Video Heaven
Review: Between Homestead Records and Matador Records, Gerard Cosloy has managed to put together some of the leading "stars" of independent rock. This DVD has some of the best from Matador US - Pavement, Yo La Tengo, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Pizzacato 5, and many more. I especially loved the videos for Yo La Tengo's "Sugarcube" and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion's "Talkin' 'Bout the Blues" (guest appearance by Winona Ryder!). If you're a fan of just a few of the bands on this DVD, it's a great chance to see their videos. The menu is split between the two original VHS tapes. However, you can also browse by artist or just play all the videos.

Summary: Many classic matador hits!
Review: This DVD contains both the What's Up Matador and Everything is Nice video comps (note that the video version of Everything is Nice does not contain the What's Up Matador show, which makes the DVD quite worthwhile). Everything is Nice contains many classic videos from Yo La Tengo (their Sugarcube video is priceless), Chavez, Helium, Cornelius, Pizzicato 5, Pavement, and more. What's Up Matador, which came out a couple of years ago, is a very funny program that is set up like a kid's show and features "interviews" with various Matador records stars, along with even more classic videos from the artists mentioned above, and some others also. There are 25 videos here in all, and they cover the lifespan of Matador records. Matador is the best record label around, and there is ample proof on this DVD of that.
