Life and Radiohead

From one of the Radiohead Video contest winners for the song, Reckoner.

I don't know the literal interpretation of the video, but it looks like life proliferating on earth and then out into the cosmos. I may be projecting here, but it shares an idea I've always had about life in general - on this planet we evolved from unicellular organisms into human beings with civilizations that will inevitably burn the place down. But life will find its way around somewhere else in the universe - just takes a while before it develops the self-awareness we have. Makes me wonder how many times it has already happened in the history of the universe...

Beautifully and tastefully done. Radiohead are at the forefront on how to share and create art.

Microcosmos and Radiohead

I know, I've been veering off topic a bit, but someone edited Radiohead's "All I Need" with Microcosmos (a film I apparently need to see now), and it's pretty moving. Then again, you could play this song over a knife fight and it would look beautiful, but this was a nice way to spend four minutes.

The original video for the song is also pretty brilliant and gut-wrenching.
