New EP of covers from Amanda Palmer.
New Radiohead video was shot without cameras, instead using lasers to get 3D data which was visualized. Chunks of the data are available from Google, so you can have a go at processing it yourself.
Beautiful video of Radiohead’s “Nude” being “performed” on old hardware. (Slightly skeptical because I don’t recall the 48k Spectrum having multi-channel sound, but let’s not piss on the chips of a great clip.) Forward to 1:10 if you want to skip the Spectrum loading sounds.
Since the MP3s don’t have any cover-art, Jon Hicks is hosting a “Design your own Radiohead Cover Art” contest. #21 is my favourite so far.
The new Radiohead album is released on the 10th, and will initially be available in only two forms: 1) Pay £40 for a deluxe box-set of two CDs and two LPs, or 2) Pay whatever you like for an MP3 download. I’ve chucked in £4, though will probably end up downloading it off of OiNK when the official servers are predictably swamped next week.
