Speaking of galaxies, in celebration of the 21st anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope’s deployment into space, astronomers pointed Hubble at the galaxy group Arp 273. Arp 273 lies in the constellation Andromeda and is roughly 300 million light-years away from Earth.
Funny how the stuff we put in space gets such good mileage. I probably couldn't get a car to last 21 years. |

Sorry to pee on this guys parade, but there is absolutely no way those star shots where taken from the same place as the landscape/clouds. They look more like sweeps over Hubble telescope shots to me.

Yeah, I had the same thought; none the less, 'shooped or no, there's still some pretty stuff in those.

Shopped you say? Yeah, could be. I just watched it again and at 02:53 there's a shot where the stars rotate about a fixed point in the visible sky. Either I'm being dim or that should not be possible in Spain...
[Edit] Nevermind, I was being dim. Long hours, don't mind me.

best music video ever made
Not a country music fan but good on him anyway I just watched the video something creepy about it - in a good way though, it is quite a good video.
And at least The Prodigy made it into the final 10. Johnny Cash - Hurt Quote:
http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment...ideo-ever-made NME's Top 10 music videos of all time: 1. Hurt - Johnny Cash 2. Just - Radiohead 3. Wicked Game - Chris Isaak 4. Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden 5. All Is Full Of Love - Bjork 6. Everlong - Foo Fighters 7. Buddy Holly - Weezer 8. Sabotage - Beastie Boys 9. Vidrar Vel Til Loftarasa - Sigur Ros 10. Smack My Bitch Up - The Prodigy |

Is there a video on this list, other than Wicked Game, more than 10 years old? Hurt was poignant, but best, or even top 10? IMO, which is all these lists ever are, the golden age of the music video was over by 1990. Everything since has been retreaded, repackaged, been there, done that tripe. Some of it is good tripe, but tripe nonetheless. The video that launched hip-hop from the streets to suburban living rooms, Run DMC's Walk This Way, doesn't even make the list?

Just going on the list there, i'd go for Bjork, she is just awesome and the Prodigy rock as well. I always loved the Van Halen videos, when Dave Lee Roth was jumping around and doing his scissor kicks. He was a true showman! |

I have this video by Johny cash, brilliant. I wonder as I watch it from time to time if its not a reflective look at his own life, what ever it is, it's most definintely from the great mans heart.

Cash lived with a nerve disease the last several years causing much pain, I think that connected well with the song, along with hurt from his past. I think his death soon after gave the video such a connection to people.
