The Disembodied White Gloves of Armageddon

I know I've seen these sorts of videos before, where a set of white-gloved hands lead you through how to do a simple task or a magic trick or something similarly benign, but I'll be gosh-darned if it don't creep me out every single time. "What are those floating white hands attached to," is all I can think, and then I start imagining pustule-faced beasts with dozens of eyes that vomit arteries and I can't go on. Ahem. Below is a fun little advertisement (say that with the British inflection: ad-vert-iz-ment) for Radiohead's In Rainbows, which gets an actual hard-copy CD release on January 1st.

Speaking of, since getting my disc-box the other day and listening to the CDs I've got to say to all y'all who downloaded the album (and it does bother me that I've become, in this instance, one of "these people"), that getting an actual CD is the way to go. It sounds sooooo much cleaner and crisper this way. So yes, I'm one of the tech-geeks who bemoan the low bitrate transfers. Kill me now.
