radiohead house of cards - video
radiohead has taken it to the next level - as they always do - and created a video for their song “house of cards” using no cameras or lights…they used lasers and proved that to make an awesome video, they don’t need no stinkin’ cameras!
when i read about it on gorilla vs. bear this morning, i was just so amazed at how they did it and why thom thought it would be such a powerful video.
“I liked the idea of making a video of human beings and real life and time without using any cameras, just lasers, so there are just mathematical points — and how strangely emotional it ended up being.” -Thom Yorke

weekend review (finally)
so i’m just now getting around to posting my “weekend fun times” from last weekend. here goes…
friday was the wildflower festival in richardson, it was so much fun! we saw loverboy and bat benatar. pat was amazing i really had no expectations, just wanted to have fun, but man she’s still got it! the pics didn’t end up so great, so sorry about not having any.
saturday was definitely an adventure! i went with some girlfriends to the assassination city roller derby. it was in mesquite, tx, at a local skating rink. the first bout was inter-league with the bombshell brigade vs. the lone star assassins. for the second bout, the deadly kennedys beat the central arkansas rockin’ renegade. the halftime (not sure if that’s the right term…) entertainment was fun, first was the “urban glow”

radiohead live in dallas
i had so much going on last weekend, and i haven’t gotten to download all my pics yet but i just couldn’t pass this up. the radiohead show on sunday was amazing - one of the best live performances i’ve ever seen. gorilla vs. bear posted some of the mp3’s of the show, you can listen to them here and also see the video for “you and whose army.” on radiohead not for profit, you can download the entire set. my personal favorite was idioteque. here are some photos, also courtesy of gvb. i’ll post mine, along with video asap. enjoy!
happening in dallas this weekend
alrighty, another fun-filled weekend coming up! tonight i’m headed to the richardson wildflower! arts & music festival to see pat benatar play. since i’m tagging along with some girlfriends, i didn’t know much about the fest until i looked it up - there are some really good bands playing out there! tonight’s lineup is loverboy, eve 6, le freak, pat benatar and then everclear - blast from the past much?! but then tomorrow is america, blue oyster cult and the guess who! too bad i can’t make it for that night, but someone should go and tell me how it is!
tomorrow i’m headed to ikea to round up the rest of my baskets for the closet. saturday night i’m going to my first ever roller derby! the assassination city roller derby girls are playing against arkansas and i’ll be there to support them in their bout. the after parties i hear are pretty fun and are usually held at lee harvey’s so come on up! go to their site for more info on tickets, bouts, and parties. this should definitely be a good time! also on saturday night, kyle caldwell and the astonishing wonder featuring the kick-back kid are playing at alexandre’s starting at 10 pm. they are a riot and you will definitely have a good time. but if you’re not into that, tulsa local band congress of a crow is playing at the lakewood bar and grill.
sunday funday!! radiohead!! yes, it’s finally here, and i’ll be heading to the superpages.com center to enjoy the show (seriously, that name is so lame, i’ll still call it the smirnoff for a while). tickets sold out almost immediately, so if you wanted to go and you didn’t get tix in time, call me….and i’ll give you a rundown of how awesome the show is! oh that’s mean, but really, i’m sure there will be lots of scalpers out there. i’ll have pics and all that good stuff next week.
hope you all have a good weekend and maybe i’ll see you around town!

this is definitely my favorite song off the new radiohead album, in rainbows. j. tyler helms created this beautiful video for it using footage from the 1996 film microcosmos:

i had no idea that radiohead was conan’s first ever musical guest! yeah, way back in 1993 … that is so awesome. here they are on conan 4/23/08 for the greener than live performance of “house of cards.”
and just for a little nostalgia, and because i love radiohead and conan…here’s that original performance in 1993, with classic “creep.”
