Everything Is Nice: The Matador Records 10th Anniversary Anthology

About This Movie

Everything Is Nice: The Matador Records 10th Anniversary Anthology feels like a time capsule of the late '90s indie music scene. The vibe is raw and unfiltered, capturing the essence of several distinct artists like Pavement and Cat Power. Each performance is framed with a kind of gritty sincerity, showcasing the unique voices that defined a generation. The pacing is a bit erratic, which somehow adds to its charm—it's like flipping through an old mixtape. Plus, the inclusion of 'What's Up Matador?' is a neat touch for those who caught it on VHS before. It’s a nostalgic ride for collectors who appreciate the nuances of indie rock's evolution.

This anthology DVD has seen limited releases, making it somewhat of a rarity for collectors. Originally available only on VHS, the added bonus of 'What's Up Matador?' enhances its appeal for those who appreciate the history of Matador Records. Interest among collectors remains steady, particularly for those who cherish the indie rock and alternative scenes from that era. It may not be the most polished collection, but its authenticity and representation of the time make it a noteworthy piece in any indie music collection.
