Books - - a Radiohead "Idioteque" music video

[spino4951]

Library janitor : " WHAT THE?!?!"

[NotAnotherPianoGirl]

Very thought provoking! And excellent job!

[YourReligionisWrong]

Very cool video. Great job.

Like the Hawking book at the end!

[99oh5]

i loved this video.

[Wwwizzardd]

Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you appreciate our work

[ederaugusto20]

For me aqui em Brasil very style man

!! I Like!! Just like this!!

[KittyMagicBox]

hey really cool video. i love the song chosen and the whole concept is original. at first I was like wtf books...but it works.

[secretMachine]

Cool video, but best album? You must be joking.

[futureblues26]

everybody has their own opinions.

Kid A is my favorite album from any artist.

[Petiber]

He's right actually. Kid A is better then OK Computer and The Bends. Together.

[secretMachine]

I dunno, when you get two albums that sounds almost identical (kid A and Amnesiac) you know a band is going through a stale moments. Don't get me wrong I love everything they have done, but it just got too repetitious during those years, even morning bells was given a second shot. Regardless, lyrically, nothing touches ok computer and the bends... well, thats just classic. but yea, too each is own.

[Petiber]

first of all, kid a and amnesiac don't sound similar at all.

Kid A is timeless. it never really gets old, it only gets better. OKC and The Bends are full of anthems that get old over time (Just, Bends, High and Dry, Karma, No Surprises, Airbag - even Paranoid Android), and right now I'm mainly interested in the other tracks like Climbing Up The Walls, Bulletproof, The Tourist and Let Down.

Nothing in Kid A ever gets old. you only appreciate it more with time. BTW Morning Bell is amazing.

[wafflestuffer2]

for sure. Kid A is by far their best album

[Wwwizzardd]

I did say, and I quote "off most arguably their best album," which implies their best album is certainly up for debate. Thanks for the comment though.

In Rainbows is pretty sick too.

[Cloud87man]

I so would have left that for the library staff to find and go "What the fuck?"

[puppo16]

this video was actually pretty cool. hmm.

[thundergirl666]

how many videos ARE there for this unique song?

[AmberCorwin]

This video fucking sucked, it was horrible and stupid AND the song was great.

[Wwwizzardd]

Yea? Sorry about that.

Its just Books.

[jimsterx3]

What? I thought it was great, well at first I didnt but near the end I did. So fuck Ya! and I thought this video did a great job on making books come to life. They all were dead and that shot at the end looked really cool with the book case behind it not moving.

[lovinlife909]

brilliant

[coldafrican]

Fucking Excellent video! What lens were you using?

[orihck]

awesome video dude. i watched it stoned. quite interesting. I'm curious as to the title of the last book.

[Wwwizzardd]

Ha ha. Good deal man. That was the way it was intended to be viewed.

The title of the last book is The Universe in a Nutshell by Stephen Hawking. Wrap your chemically altered mind around that.

[jimsterx3]

shit, I guess ill have to watch it again...still great though.

[Wwwizzardd]

Thanks man. We appreciate it.  I'm glad the video is recieved as well as it is. Our simple idea spreads with every mind seduced by Books.

[t1racyjacks]

I love books and I love radiohead, and I like the video but i just don't see books going together with the song. I dunno when I hear it I think of that which is anti-books really, burnt papers, ashes on snow, fire in the distance, broken buildings...

[spikestrokes]

damn !!! a grat video !!! so alternative !!! god...i didnt liked the idea of only books...but your video has so much as an alternative proposal...great job !!!

[hatti369]

What library is this? I've never seen books like these before.

[guessandcheck]

try reference sections at almost any real library. they are the usually dark recesses of libraries, containing volumes and volumes of nearly every topic. i used to work in one and it was amazing just seeing the rows and rows and rows of any magazine you could think of, many dating back 100+ years.

[whitelephantmusic]

I enjoyed this alot. you guys must of had fun filming all this in the library

[Wwwizzardd]

Yea... there was a lot of scurrying around and hiding after each shot so that the librarians couldn't kick us out. Plus, the students studying in the library weren't too fond of us

[ecuadorianitic]

good job bro...its very sad that groups like these are dspering...and now all music you hear is rap and that kin of shit

[radioheadkiks]

dude exactly

[icantfindanamethis]

um..... interesting interpretation....

[meggogarbage]

i liked the first 50 seconds but i would suggest that you should try opening the books...like focusing on an open window with a lot of breeze and suddenly the books fall and pages go crazy passing on. but thats only me...it could be a hidden msg of freedom of speech as a contrast of the song title "idioteque".

[xane7]

ohhhhhhhhhhh, haha now i get it joel. just books haha nice vid.

[Cid33]

well, You've done a great work, but I'm sorry, I find it a little boring... Books, Books, and errr... Books... Just books...

[Wwwizzardd]

Yea... its just Books.

[roxstar26]

this video is actually pretty cool.....good job

[SirFuzzalot]

wow, this is really artistic, even though it's simple. Great job, does this song justice.

[Wwwizzardd]

Good to hear. That is exactly what we were going for, and apparently it worked. Thanks for the good review.

[ilballodisanvito]

I like so much! ;)

[Wwwizzardd]

Thanks for the comment

[x9one9x]

Screw you fearsome, do ANYTHING creative and then you can speak - otherwise, shutup and continue being a stupid, conditioned-complacent American. Thanks and enjoy!

[fearsomestmoocow]

Erm. I'm an artist and not American. Fail.

[groupXonline]

nice song... simple video (personally, a little bit too simple)

[x9one9x]

AWESOME VIDEO! Well done! Elegant Simplicity.

[Wwwizzardd]

Thanks man, I'm glad you like it. Embed it, spread it, show it to others if you think it deserves to be seen. We tried to make an interesting film using mundane, boring, bland subjects like those of the thousands of books in the library and we think it worked. Thanks for the comment.

[asucomedy]

Such an easy concept, yet such a brilliant product. Clever, creative and constructive... Books is proof that a low budget means nothing to the best of filmmakers.

[maldune11]

Journal of the History of Ideas - Universe in a Nutshell: BOOKS!

[fearsomestmoocow]

Not impressed tbh. If it's a video piece, then you probably shouldn't use a WAY stronger audio than visual, especially when they don't really suit. Also, invest in a tripod.

[Wwwizzardd]

Yea, its just Books.

[mwtapia]

I am not impressed with your comment Mr. Fearsomestmoocow (even if that is your real name). You are missing the whole point of the video. Yes, the author of the story states that these books are warring, but to me they are committing suicide. As for asthetics it's a beautiful film. I think that you should invest in a brain, the director did use a tripod, it's obvious.

[mwtapia]

I know that you're probably disgruntled because Radiohead is your favorite band and the director didn't use this song to what was up to par for you in your head (the one that sits atop your pencil-thin neck and without a brain). So please, keep your dumb comments to yourself. jackass.
