Radiohead - House of Cards
Radiohead's latest video, for the track "House of Cards" from the In Rainbows album, uses real time 3D recording instead of cameras, utilizing highly technical structured light and Lidar laser-enhanced scanners to model lead singer Thom Yorke and provide an otherworldly narrative accompaniment to the song. The video is insane. You can see an in depth interview @ Creativity Online. Below is the Music Video, and a "making of"

Big Ideas (Don't get any)
Big Ideas (don't get any) from James Houston on Vimeo.
This is a collection of computer parts performing Radiohead's "Nude". Really. It really is. James Houston, a student at the Glasgow School of Art programmed and arranged these
“I made the video as a final piece for my degree show. It’d been an idea which was burning for a while, so the actual execution of it only took around a week, although there were a few all-nighters. It was such a tight deadline, as I also had the rest of my degree show to finish in that time too.”
“When In Rainbows was released, the song Nude brought back this recurring idea of mine, as it was a perfect fit. Luckily, a few weeks later Radiohead launched the radiohead remix contest, which supplied each of the elements (bass, vocals, drums etc) of Nude, as separate unmixed audio files to play around with. I couldn’t believe my luck and started getting to work."
All music was made possible by the following machines
Sinclair ZX Spectrum - Guitars (rhythm & lead)
Epson LX-81 Dot Matrix Printer - Drums
HP Scanjet 3c - Bass Guitar
Hard Drive array - Act as a collection of bad speakers - Vocals & FX
Sadly this piece was created a little too late to enter the Radiohead remix contest, but Houston has recieved critical acclaim from Radiohead, who have even gone on and put the video on their website. This is honestly one of the coolest things i've seen in a while. Talk about thinking outside the box.

Nas - "Be a N****r too"
Nas is taking a politically incorrect, unsubtle approach with the first single off his new self-titled yet to be released album. The song is called “Be a N—-r Too” and it will accompanied by a "mini-movie-like" video which will directed by Rik Cordero. Look for this to be released sometime next month.

The Roots - Rising Down
"Add up [the crime and high school drop-out rates in Philadelphia], plus being in your mid-30s and working 300 nights a year and this being an election year — yeah, all that’s what this album’s about.” -Questlove
The Roots newest album entitled "Rising Down" is now in stores and is a must hear. The Roots continue to break norms and push limits while still producing classic feel good hip hop. The album is brighter than a usual Roots record while at the same darker than anything they've ever done. It's described by Questlove as,"the most incendiary, political album of our career to date." The cover work is in reference to what the general confederate fear was of blacks during reconstruction after the civil war. The fear that blacks would engulf everything and everyone, and destroy it soon after.
this drawing is entitled NEGRO RULE. and it pretty much sums up the
feeling of the Confederate Union towards the newly freed slaves and
the idea that if given power they would reek havoc and chaos on the
country.
somehow in watching this election one can't help but wonder if those
unspoken feelings----- (btw..."if obama was a white man" is also the
new nig---ok...im sorry....black)---reflect the looming figure of the
old figureheads of washington now? - ?uestlove
This album is an essential, make sure to give it a listen.
