Radiohead Open Sources Music Video 120
ruphus13 writes "Following up their 'pay what you like' music album, Radiohead is once again pushing forward with trying to innovate in an industry that has typically innovated with lawsuits alone. Radiohead has now decided to open source a music video. According to the article, 'Its new single "House of Cards" has a video that was created using advanced visualization techniques and various computer-rendered models. The band has teamed up with Google to release the data for the promo as open source using a Creative Commons license.'" The article links a making-of video on YouTube. The music of "House of Cards" was not open sourced, just the visual data. according to a story in the UK Guardian, people are beginning to play around with the data.

Though I think in the music business they call them re-mixes / mashups.

they're also like Anti-metallica in the sense that their new music sucks.
Wouldn't that make them exactly like Metallica?

I suppose the double capitalisation in the first sentence balances the lack of initial caps in the second.

Try starting with bluegrass. Any real music lover can appreciate the virtuosity and songcraft of Bill Monroe. Then broaden your horizons a bit, try some Jimmie Rodgers or Doc Watson. There's definitely good country, they just don't play it on the radio.
I think Waylon Jennings said "Garth Brooks did for country music what panty hose did for finger fucking."
