MTV – Music Videos Again
Oct 28th
MTV launched a few days after I was born. They have redone their music video. I have been able to find every video I searched for. The classics seem to be the focus right now. I look forward to a new source of rick rolls.

Soft City Lights
Jun 19th
WOXY.com presents: Okkervil River from Soft City Lights on Vimeo.
“Soft City Lights is an experimental video project that was conceived in September of 2007 with the goal of creating online HD short films profiling Cincinnati based artists, happenings and well, whatever I feel. It’s since also become an outlet for documenting lounge acts for online radio station woxy.com.”
I have watched a few of these videos before. They are pretty well done and a good way of seeing local Cincinnati music.

Really cool idea. The song kicks in after about a minute. Worth the wait.

Radiohead held an online contest to remix “Nude” from their album – “In Rainbows” This was quite a difficult task for all the electronic musicians that entered, as Nude is in 6/8 timing, and 63bpm. Most music that’s played in clubs is around 120bpm and usually 4/4 timing. It’s near impossible to mix a waltz beat into a DJ set.
This resulted in lots of generic entries consisting of a typical 4/4 beat, but with arbitrary clips from “Nude” thrown in so that they qualified for the contest.
Thom Yorke joked at the ridiculousness of it in an interview for NPR radio, hinting that they set the competition “for a laugh” and to find out what would come out of such an impossible task.
I decided to take the piss a bit, as the contest seemed to be in that spirit.
Based on the lyric (and alternate title) “Big Ideas: Don’t get any” I grouped together a collection of old redundant hardware, and placed them in a situation where they’re trying their best to do something that they’re not exactly designed to do, and not quite getting there.
It doesn’t sound great, as it’s not supposed to.
