The ever brilliant John Lennon waxing to a 14 year old kid with a tape recorder who snuck into his hotel. The animation is new and beautiful and draws some nice parallels between then/now (via CDM).
The best Radiohead “Nude” remix I have heard (no easy feat considering Holy Fuck’s brilliant effort). + this video and it is one of the coolest things I have seen in a while. The equipment being used:
