okay... so i have to post it.
i was reviewing some albums and artists on pitchfork earlier and it reminded me of this video.
so the band has divorced themselves from the previous record label - columbia records after an amazing viral album/mp3 campaign. the label still holds all the rights from the six previous albums and have decided to reissue them all with b sides added. columbia is sucking everything they can get riding their mainstream success. the best of flopped, but these b sides may prove intriguing....
the video house of cards was made using 3d plotting technologies: : Geometric Informatics and Velodyne LIDAR.
"Geometric Informatics scanning systems produce structured light to capture 3D images at close proximity, while a Velodyne Lidar system that uses multiple lasers is used to capture large environments such as landscapes. In this video, 64 lasers rotating and shooting in a 360 degree radius 900 times per minute produced all the exterior scenes."

not only is this an amazing song: haunting, but terrific visuals too: a dream. it brings to mind vaporization and the party scene.
heres a link to the making of video... it gives more information on the above mentioned technologies.
our lives are digital... everything is data. it's essentially a direct reflection of where we are in today's society....
