Radiohead-Not For Profit

August 19, 2008

Whether you’ve been able to engage in the mystique that was Radiohead’s summer tour and want to relive that very night, or if you are just curious what they sound like live, then please check out Radiohead Not For Profit.  As of now, its up to date with audio from every show this summer, along with other notable live performances.  All downloads are free as the creators only ask you not to sell them for profit.  I just downloaded the infamous Bonnaroo 06′ set.  Find your show!

Radiohead – House of Cards

July 15, 2008

The video for Radiohead’s House Of Cards has just been released on the web. The video, the making of the video are now live and you can explore data visualization through a 3D viewer and use your mouse to further manipulate the data and create your own visualizations.

No cameras or lights were used. Instead, 3D plotting technologies collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects. The video was created entirely with visualizations of that data. Wild stuff

Download the data and instructions on how to create your own visualizations. If you manage to create a data visualization that you’d wish to share, the band would love to see it. You can share your videos on the House of Cards YouTube group.

Radiohead Vinyl Reissues Coming Soon

July 13, 2008

Capitol/EMI plans to reissue Radiohead’s albums on vinyl.  OK Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac, and Hail to the Thief are going to come out August 19, followed by the Pablo Honey and The Bends shortly after.

Could be a dumb move on my part I don’t care, but I’d really like to have at least OKC just for collection purposes.  Gotta do some research before buying record player.  I’ll still buy the record without a player.  Awhile back on the Atease message board, someone uploaded a vinyl rip every album.  Sounds amazing.

I’m sure more than enough Radiohead fans will feel a need to buy this.  Of course some people are bitching about EMI being an evil corporation and the band not benefiting.  Radiohead realized what was up so they rolled out.  Yeah they rightly should have control of their past music, but as of now we have other ways to support them.
