Radiohead - Street Spirit (Fade Out)

Radiohead make the most amazing music, we all know that. Derrr!
They have a truckload of amazing film clip too and Street Spirit is certainly one of them.

Just don’t cheer and carry on when they play it live…

"It drains me, and it shakes me, and hurts like hell every time I play it, looking out at thousands of people cheering and smiling, oblivious to the tragedy of its meaning, like when you're going to have your dog put down and it's wagging its tail on the way there. That's what they all look like, and it breaks my heart. I wish that song hadn't picked us as its catalysts, and so I don't claim it. It asks too much. I didn't write that song." - Thom Yorke

The combination of Yorke’s haunting vocals and striking imagery and super-slow motion (yep you all know I’m a sucker for the slow-mo) make this clip my song of the day.

Radiohead - Talk Show Host

Holy shit, that was one hectic weekend. Buck's shows rule, especially when they're you're own!

This song came on the radio this morning and hit me instantly as the perfect song of the day. The clip features a buck's night, plus it's gentle enough that my tired, tired head is able to actually listen to it.

Hopefully my pending wedding (5 days now) won't turn out as tragic as theirs, but I think there's 15 guys that can confirm that the buck's weekend would have put Romeo's to shame, that's for sure.

There's something about good dudes, handball, jam town, beach walks, smashed shins, broken maracas, broken guitar strings, microwaved plates, hazey heads, sausage fry up's, 20 boxes of shapes, 16 cases of beer, 3 cases of cider, and more PR meetings than anyone would like to remember, that make for one awesome weekend. Illustrated perfectly in this clip.
