Radiohead’s video uses laser scanning techniques, which are very expensive.

This time from the movie Crimson Tide.

You know those songs that for some reason are part of your life and will follow you forever?
The ones you always get back to on happy and sad days, like an old friend?
Well, this is one of those for me, and part of a series of posts I’m calling my permanent playlist.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRS_DZNGEyo

It’s about the music Paper, from Usher!

I dunno how Usher will respond to this in court, but the evidence is very very clear as you can see in this clip:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06CvUjLgK5g

See? I rest my case.
Oh yeah, a tip from the source blog: Play both videos at the same time. No, really!
