C&L's Late Nite Music Club with Radiohead: House of Cards
By John Amato Sunday Jul 20, 2008 10:00pm
Wow, this is wild. Check out Radiohead's new camera free---laser made---music video.
3D plotting technologies collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects. The video was created entirely with visualizations of that data.
Go here to see what you can do to it yourself.
Gizmodo has more...
Did I mention that because this video is pure data instead of images you can manipulate it in real time using a visualizer? Because you can. Also be sure to check out the awesome visualizer, which lets you manipulate the data to adjust the image and rotate around the objects in real-time. The most fun time waster you'll find all week, guaranteed. [Radiohead]

Nice tune. I really dig the lead singer's style.
I know you guys took some heat a while back for posting "Creep", but good call on posting more Radiohead. I really enjoy this song as well as Creep. Glad to see Radiohead is keeping music videos interesting and cutting edge too.
Wow, Radiohead twice in such a short time frame. Sheer awesomeness. I still haven't picked up In Rainbows yet. I have no idea what I'm waiting for.
Unlike "Creep," which they disowned, this is important and hookless. The great album then "Idioteque" was cool. Otherwise unimpressed in proportion to the hype.
I've said it once and I'll say it again, all the anti-Creep snobs can shove it. It's a good song by any measure. It was the breakthrough that they needed to go on to make The Bends, OK Computer, Kid A, etc, etc.
Now that that's out of the way, I'd just like to brag that I'm seeing them in less than 2 weeks. I'm sooooo excited:) I loved the Rolling Stone interview w/Thom York when they asked if he realized that "House of Cards" was Radiohead's first "sexy" song. Hee! Sexy indeed.
well, i haven't done any radiohead since your last radiohead posting a month ago, so i've still only got paranoid android and creep to offer.
instead, how about some verve?
goldfrapp?
orbital?
I'm not really familiar with Radiohead but it sounded just fine to me. Cool video, too.
Wow, talk about dull and gimmicky. I'm sure if it wasn't Radiohead I'd eventually find a link to it in my email from one of jolly chain email friends. Granted it's a neat concept. But, some of the blogs really need to calm down and realize that it's vision technology not visionary.
skippy @ 6:
Did you seriously just post Orbital? You've seriously got my respect, skippy.
If you're looking for more Radiohead, here's what I consider their 2nd-best song (the best being Paranoid Android):
Pyramid Song
skippy @ 6:
skippy!
Hey, I'm going to be in LA again next month, right before the DNC (my dad just bought a new house and I'm helping him get moved in). Wanna meet Amato and myself for dinner?
Some late night easy listening:
Paul Weller - You Do Something to Me
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms
Royksopp - What Else Is There?
skippy, those are some mighty fine tunes.
hmmmm Skippy is right after the Radiohead we need VERVE....
enigma4ever @ 13:
EXCELLENT choice by amato. my favorite song on "In Rainbows".
and, yeah, i really miss the verve.
spiritualized made a glorious comeback this year, but i have to say, it'd be nice to see richard ashcroft get off his lazy complacent @$$ and reform the verve...
Loved, Loved LOVED Goldfrapp's Felt Mountain... one of my favorite 3 albums of all time, and that's saying a lot since I have tens of thousands in my collection.
Was disappointed in their subsequent releases, though.
Can we get any love here for Bork's Vespertine? Her masterpiece, IMHO.
nicole, i will definitely be up for dinner w/you & john.
thanks to all for appreciation of my music selections, i'm a big orbital fan, have also fallen in love w/goldfrapp this last year, and that verve video is one of the best visuals i've seen.
as for bjork, i don't have vespertine, but i do have her & pj harvey doing the stones' satisfaction.
ps just a reminder that skippy's late nite music club strives hard to bring you a wide breadth and depth of sounds from all over the musical spectrum on a daily (nitely) basis.
our mission statement: as louie armstrong sez, they's only two kinds of music - good music and bad music.
our one rule: no rush, ever!
skippy, no Rush ever ? This Canadian chick sends her thanks.
Bjork's masterpiece is and always will be Homogenic.
poerba @ 4:
Except they didn't.
cool video. But, I hope these visuals don't become the next trend. It would spoil the magic if everyone got "on board".
Radiohead sucks almost as much as coldplay.
Two highly overrated bands, one wants to be the Beatles, the other just plain sucks.
If I offended anyone one, sorry. I just dislike most music on commercial radio and tv.
If I hear some dj, vj, or whatever tellin me how good some new band is, I rebel. It's instinctive.
Commerical music sucks.
liberalNmoderation @ 22:
um...that would be commercial...not sure what commerical is.
I realize that we can't all like the same stuff.
But how 'bout some old school stuff...The Cramps, Social D, Black Flag, DK, Misfits, etc. etc.
ya know...REAL music.
Anyone know any good blond bimbo jokes? :-)
liberalNmoderation @ 22:
If you pay close attention to commercial radio and television you'd know that Radiohead seldom appear on either.
Tom Piltoff @ 26:
You may well have a point, as I avoid both like the plague, but I remember them being ALL over radio and tv a few years back. When I worked at a restaurant and had to listen to commercial crap all night...GAH!
This song actually reminds me a lot of "Family Tree" by Sandro Perri. Some may recognize Sandro Perri as the man behind Polmo Polpo.
