Ever wonder why, where, who, and what all this is about?.. life that is. Well peep this short video and tell me that it doesn’t help put our existence here on this lil glowing orb of water and rock, which is floating around in an endless abyss of infinite space, into some sort of deeper perspective. I know it did for me any way.
Props to Brett Hamil for the tip, and to the American Museum Of Natural History for making such an amazing and accurate map/diagram/visual reference of our place in the cosmos.
Muzak and Video Editing by none other than: A_Scissors
Dig this?… Well, he’s got a ton of free music for you and yers ears over at Hairy Sloth Records. Look for his new full length LP entitled “Approaching Sunlight” to appear on the web pages of Tha SLoTH in the very near future as well. It will include the track above and be just as immaculate and then some. Count on it.
In my humble opinion.. AC are hands down some of the most creative, exploratory, influential experimental auditory artisans of the past 10 years, and their accompanying music videos and the directors they w3rk with to create these visual accompaniments to their futuristic soundZ have only fostered and expanded upon their already incredible visionary and immaculate artistic talents.

My wife, Dana and I go through the types of things represented in the footage below on a daily basis. The dynamics of the masculine and feminine relationship to and with each other, can be endlessly eternally satisfyingly frustrating. Back in the early 1980’s, the Czechoslovakian born Jan Svanmajer illuminated and enlightened these types of human behaviorism’s with his particular brand of artw3rk. Which is like none other. Uber Brilliant ideas and stop animationz galore.
The recently released Radiohead video for the track: “House Of Cards” is some high-fallutin’ high-techery at it’s finest. That’s right kids.. no cameras or lights were used in the making of this video!! The footage by Radiohead, director: James Frost, & a multitude of unnamed technicians.. employs frickin’ laser beams!, Geometric Informatics , and other uber modern devices and formulae to create this post millenial music “video”.
For those of you who want to see more than what Thom Yorke describes as, “the internet streaming pixellation squash” of the YouTube version and the likes. There is a high resolution .mov file version of the video currently available for free download, thanx to Mr. Yorke and crew:
