Though Rufus Wainwright has had a handful of releases since 2007, he hasn’t made the last five years easy on his listeners. The slick and supple “Out Of The Game” is the title track from Rufus Wainwright’s fresh LP. Well, Out of the Game certainly represents Wainwright’s return to more formal song structure.
Helena Bonham Carter, Tim Burton’s muse, is playing a frustrated, daydreaming librarian, while Rufus does the bulk of the hamstanding, in triplicate – as a bookish adventure type, a Sonic Youth-loving wastrel and a past-prime housewife type.
This Monday we are listening to this new song on repeat.

Here is a new song Skyscrapers by OK GO. Spring means new colours and new dresses.
Skyscrapers, please forgive me.
I didn’t mean a word I said.
Skyscrapers, I was just a tangled up in my own head.
And somehow in all the madness,
I thought that I was seeing straight.
It ain’t always pretty, but it seemed there was no other way.
And I guess all I ever loved was standing right before my eyes, and I was blind.
So skyscrapers, please forgive me.
I stand here a penitent man.
Skyscrapers, I’ll never look down again.
‘Cause I guess all I ever loved was standing right before my eyes.
Yeah, I guess all I ever loved was standing here all the time, and I was blind.
You were right here all the time and I was blind.

“The video you see in the end is purely physical frame by frame animation. Everything you see is photographs of paper with no effects whatsoever. One of the most challenging parts of making the video was looking at the computer screen during the pre-animation phase in rigid black and white with no shadow or depth, and trying to visualize how it would later look and work as paper in 3D space. We had to determine ahead of time which images to cut as positives or negatives, how to anchor the cutouts to the paper frame that surrounds it so the pieces wouldn’t fall out, and a host of other problems.
The final stage was photographing – good old stop-motion animation done at 15 frames per second. The frames were hung vertically from hooks in 23 rows, row 1 being closest to the camera, row 23 farthest away. The rig was setup in our makeshift cave of thick black blankets hung from the ceiling to keep out all light. The paper scenes were then lit from the front and below, and photographed with a digital still camera on a tripod. Each photo is viewed for 1/15th of a second and each cutout represents one layer within a frame. A single frame could have anywhere from 2-100 layers, with a setup time of 20 seconds to 5 minutes. Shooting took a full week of mostly sleepless nights, and Erez holds the record with 5 all-nighters in a row.”-says Sam Cohen
