Morgan Freeman gets his radio head
Perfect video for this song, “15 Steps” from Radiohead’s “In Rainbows”. The title refers to the rhythm. They’ve been making music for 15 years now, too. This video is a mashup of the movie, “Seven”. http://www.radiohead.com/deadairspace How come I end up where I started? How come I end up where I went wrong? Won’t take […]
Radiohead: House of Cards
Radiohead probably won’t win a Grammy, but they should. If you haven’t heard “In Rainbows”, give it a listen. Hot ice. This song video was made without lights or cameras. Geometric technologies were used to capture 3D images. Radiohead took this siren song to a cold, electric place where nerve ends tingle and feelings go […]

I think I only pretend to disrespect words so I don’t […]
Pink by Aerosmith
A pink song of the week? I could have posted Pink’s “Dear Mr President”, but I don’t even want to think about the guy. Pink Floyd? Too serious. But Aerosmith’s Pink is old and it’s still nice. Back in 1997 when this was a hit I was writing about freaks and monsters. It must have […]
Arlo Guthrie: I’m changing my name to Chrysler
Some things just don’t change. Except the figures, of course. In this old song, just exchange “million” for “billion” or “trillion”. And, ok, ok, it’s all about jobs.
