VLMTV: New Clips from Radiohead, Buckcherry

I generally avoid music videos simply because they don't interest me all that much. But two came out in the last week worth talking about, so here we go:

Since simply putting a camera on images that might have been relevant to the vision for the song would be far too pedestrian, Thom Yorke decided that the video for Radiohead's "House of Cards" should be shot using lasers (or "lasers", for those who are still Mike Myers fans). The quote from the press release has far too much techno-babble in it, but Radiohead more or less looks like one part screensaver, one part test Visual FX from White Noise. The video itself is below, and here is a link to the making-of featurette.

On the polar opposite end of the musical spectrum, Buckcherry put out information about the release of its new album, the follow up to 2006's 15. The new album, entitled Black Butterfly, drops September 23rd, and the lead single, "Too Drunk To Fuck", will go to radio stations in the not-too-distant future, and is available for download both on their MySpace, and at the end of this entry. The song (NOT a cover of the Dead Kennedys song) is pretty much what we've come to expect from Buckcherry; raunchy, yet fun-as-hell sleaze rock with lyrics that should make you cringe, but ultimately don't. The "viral" video (not sure what makes this a viral vid) features Buckcherry straddling the line between Aerosmith and Alice Cooper at a house party, and in addition to serving as the promotional video for Black Butterfly, also works as a backhanded Public Service Announcement advising Buckcherry fans to enjoy both alcohol and the band itself responsibly.
