radioheadのニュー・シングル「House of Cards」のPVは、カメラを使わずに撮影が行なわれた．監督 james frost は、ビデオカメラの代わりに Geometric Informatics およびVelodyne Lidar といった2種類の最新3Dキャプチャー技術を駆使して制作．前者はレーザーを使って近距離の対象物の詳細な3Dイメージをキャプチャーするもので、メンバーのパフォーマンスを撮影. 後者は、より広い環境を3Dでとらえることが可能で、セットやパーティー・ショットの撮影に使用されたとか．都市計画や建築で本来使われる最先端技術を、このようにビデオ表現に応用されるのはおもしろい．とてもハイテクなのに3Dの仕上がりが Pixarのようなものではなく、とてもlo-fiなのが美しい．3D dataは こちら.で見られます．メイキングは上記に掲載．
director james frost and radiohead decided to forgo the use of cameras altogether for their latest single, House of Cards. Using 3D video acquisition systems from Geometric Informatics, and 64-element, 360-degree LIDAR from Velodyne, the band was able to create a clip that eschews traditional video recording for haunting, complex data visualizations. the rendering has a lo-fi quality which gives a more interesting texture than the Pixar type shading we have grown acustomed to. the 3D data and viewer are available as google codes at this link.

Bill Calahan（バンド名はSmog）は、どの歌手よりもいい声を持っている. とにかく僕の好みの声である．dead man's shoesのサウンドトラックにも使われている．あえて分類するならば、lo-fi alternativeというジャンルに属するのでしょうけれど、分類されず、他の音楽と一線を画すのは、意味があることである．Smog（スモッグ、煙霧）は、その名の通り、環境、エコロジーに限らず、人の歴史、人類の教えなどをなんとなく取入れようとする意識が常に感じられる．過去の押しつけがましいうるさいプロテスト音楽と違って、時と空気を譜面のように読んで演奏される音楽．
Bill Calahan (aka Smog) for me has one of the best voices,
If one insist on categorising his music it would be lo-fi alternative. meaningful music with soft slow
strong melodies. the name comes from the famous urban pollutant not by coincidence, if you think of ecology end environment in philodophical terms you can grasp the grand picture which
feeds his songs, it's almost as if he reads a score from time and space around us.

1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fan, Jerry Levitan, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace with a reel-to-reel tape deck. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon's boundless wit, and timeless message うぃｔｈthe terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite.
Beck's new album and promo for modern guilt being pretty great, I try not to hold against him,his faith in the cult of scientology. His work does not reflect that of Hubbard as much as his early albums and videos.
An autist anthem singer at Fenway Park ball-game on autism awarenes day, nervous he interprets then anthemit very personally, which brings the crowd together with sympathy and join for support. You may say whatever you like America, but to have such a spontaneous reaction they must have something right. This reflects our(the world's) ideal of American democracy, U.S. government policies usually don't.

herman duneはスエーデンとフランスの混血で構成されたアンチフォークバンド．曲を口ずさんだり、人を抱きしめたくなる音楽．Jonathan Richmanのような前向きな歌詞と優しいメロディは貴重である．夏が来るとこの甘さが欲しくなってくる．
needless to say that herman dune is the one and only antifolk band in norther Europe, there's a lot of humming ang hugging involve in the process of the production. We need the gentlessness and Jonathan Richman inspired upbeat lyrics. Summer
makes you crave for this sweetness.
We had an apartment in the city,
Me and Loretta liked living there.
Well, it'd been years since the kids had grown,
A life of their own left us alone.
John and Linda live in Omaha,
And Joe is somewhere on the road.
We lost Davy in the Korean war,
And I still don't know what for, don't matter anymore.Chorus:
Ya' know that old trees just grow stronger,
And old rivers grow wilder ev'ry day.
Old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello."Me and Loretta, we don't talk much more,
She sits and stares through the back door screen.
And all the news just repeats itself
Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen.
Someday I'll go and call up Rudy,
We worked together at the factory.
But what could I say if asks "What's new?"
"Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do."Repeat Chorus:
So if you're walking down the street sometime
And spot some hollow ancient eyes,
Please don't just pass 'em by and stare
As if you didn't care, say, "Hello in there, hello."
After watching PBS American Masters MarvinGaye documentary I really understood the meaning of the title song "what's going on" from Marvin Gaye's protest album. los lobos' is the only convincing cover of the song, so i decided to post it side by side with artists against aids' version and perfect circle's one.
