The ReacTable - a tangible virtual modular music making... thing

Every week, we, the MusicRadar team, submit our own personal favourite music videos and clips on the net. Some clips we really like, others are simply comedy classics or oddly intriguing. But all are worth watching…

Michael Leonard's choices

Tom Morello's tricks
"Rage Against The Machine headline the Reading Festival this weekend, and as well as checking out MusicRadar's exclusive new Tom Morello audio interview, make watch him demo some of his killswitch tricks on Last Call With Carson Daly." ML

Muse get hysterical
"And here's Morello fan Matt Bellamy and his Muse bandmates delivering a blistering and slightly unhinged version of their epic Knights Of Cydonia at Reading 2006." ML

Chris Wickett's choices

ReacTable demos
"We featured a clip of Björk performing with a ReacTable live in a previous best of YouTube, but the ReacTIVision-powered coffee-table-cum-tangible-modular-synth is too intriguing a device to cover with simply one clip. So the week we've got two more. Welcome to the world of TUI-synthesis. (Part one, part two.)" CW

Bill Bailey's Portishead-inspiried national anthem.
"From one end of the Tangible User Interface synthesis to the other – the theremin. Comedian/musician Bill Bailey uses one in his stand-up routine during his rousing, Portishead-influenced rethink of the UK's national anthem, and it's very good." CW

Ben Rogerson's choices

Ben Folds records There's Always Someone Cooler Than You
"Ben Folds' most recent project might have been to leak his own 'fake' album onto the internet, but I've located some archive studio footage of him working on some proper material (and doing a bit of trademark, 'goofing', obviously)." BR

Ray and Oscar jam together
"Tell you what, let's make it a pianists' special this week – how about a rare clip of Ray Charles (on a Fender Rhodes) sharing a bit of banter and swinging through a blues with Oscar Peterson? I'm too good to you, I really am." BR
