After a week break for some good times and some sun in Israel, another Monday is upon us.

Today’s main feature is José González, a Swedish indie folk singer-songwriter of Argentine descent.

The song ‘Heartbeats’, from his first album, Veneer, is a cover of a song by fellow Swede duo The Knife.

The special for today is Readiohead‘s latest video clip, ‘House of Cards’ [from the album In Rainbows], which was done without lights or cameras, but with the use of a 3d scanner. Released last week, this is a unique collaboration between programmers and musicians, and with Google Code as the Host.

Enjoy!
