In Rainbows

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, in mine, religion interferes with good governance and Radiohead are the greatest band of all time.
Here is the single 'All I need' from their seventh studio album 'In Rainbows'.
Mature, informed and musically magnificent, but that's just my opinion, you decide:

P.I.M.P.

Snoop does what he does best.
The new video for 'Sensual Seduction/Sexual Eruption', sooo hot, shit, I'm a little out of breath:

I want a keytar so bad.

Olivo Barbieri: The Waterfall Project

Hovering in a helicopter some 300 to 500 feet above ground, Italian photographer Olivo Barbieri makes cities and landscapes look like children's toys or highly-detailed miniature models. Having shot cities like Rome and Las Vegas from above in the past, his current series aptly called "The Waterfall Project" looks at four of the largest waterfalls in the world.

Using a large-format camera that allows him to play with the layers of focus in a picture, Barbieri turns real scenes into spaces that seem impossible. But despite their unreal feel, all of his images have been created by carefully controlling the optical techniques of his camera and haven't been digitally altered or distorted after shooting.

A Pretty Good Year for Facebook.

Whether you realize it or not, social networking is something you do every day. Each time you tell a friend about a good movie, bore a neighbor with pictures from your kid's birthday party or catch up on gossip at work, you are reaching out to people you know to share ideas, experiences and information. The genius of social-networking websites such as MySpace and Facebook lies in their ability to capture the essence of these informal exchanges and distill them online into an expanding matrix of searchable, linked Web pages.

Nearly half the people who went online in the U.S. in October--83 million, according to the research firm comScore Media Metrix--visited MySpace or Facebook, making social networking one of the most popular activities on the Web. MySpace has the clear lead, with a U.S. audience of 72 million--more than twice that of Facebook's--and 2007 profits estimated at $200 million.
Although Facebook is expected to earn just $30 million, the three-year-old site is getting all the buzz. One reason: Microsoft recently bought a mere 1.6% of the company for $240 million, an investment that values Facebook at $15 billion, which is in the ballpark of Gap and Xerox. That's far smaller than Google, valued at about $200 billion, but both Facebook and MySpace think they are made of the same game-changing stuff. Like Google, they want to change the way you live and work online. And like Google and practically everyone else on the Internet, they are betting that advertising will make them, and their investors, unimaginably wealthy along the way.

MelonchOli...a (weak) attempt at Amateur Gastronomic Cellphone Filmmaking, starring the original Urban Monkey.

Urban Monkey!!!

I recently posted a magnificent video called DJ Matrix made by a couple of my friends (if you haven't seen it yet click here NOW!!)

Well, it seems that undiscovered filmmaking talent is surfacing all over, the following is a video made by the manifesto boys.(Word Nerds)
Some of the dodgiest cinematography ever, but it's beautiful to watch.
A contemporary metaphor for the degradation of post-modern society and the loss of innocence.
Takes a while to load but you'll laugh you're ass off!!

HHP Video to Feature Amerie

Strictly Come Dancing winner Hip Hop Pantsula is having the time of his life. HHP has just been selected to shoot a new music video with the internationally acclaimed director Nick Quested and the leggy R&B sensation Amerie.

The Setswana rapper, who was nominated for numerous awards this year, including an MTV Europe Music Award for Best Africa Act, was selected by thousands of South African music fans who were asked to vote for their favourite artist as part of MTV’s Making the Video with Shell initiative.

HHP, who was yesterday in the studio finalising his latest album, Acceptance Speech, is over the moon about shooting the video for his new track, Music N Lights, later this week in Johannesburg.

Quested, who has made close to 100 music videos for A-list stars including P Diddy, Nas, Common, Sting and Brandy, will be assisted on the shoot by South African music video directors.

Amerie, who was nominated for two Grammys last year for Female R&B Vocal Performance and Best Contemporary R&B Album, will make a cameo appearance in the video.

American Amerie is best known for her upbeat R&B tracks such as Why Don’t We Fall in Love? and recent chart successes such as Take, Gotta Work, 1 Thing and Touch.

Hip Hop Pantsula, who topped charts with his previous albums O Mang, O Mang Reloaded and YBA 2NY, said: “Nick Quested has worked with so many of my idols. It’s a fantastic opportunity to work with him to realise my vision.

“And the chance to have a star like Amerie appear in one of my videos is just a dream come true.”

The video will premier across Africa on December 7 on MTV.
