This week's One Week Only feature on Pitchfork.tv is the DVD accompaniment to Liars' terrific 2006 LP, Drum's Not Dead.

Available for purchase at Amazon.

Pitchfork is making the leap from pixels to the page: On November 11, Simon & Schuster imprint Fireside Books will publish The Pitchfork 500: Our Guide to the Greatest Songs from Punk to the Present. This handy paperback chronologically explores Pitchfork's 500 favorite songs from 1977-2006, constructing an alternate history of the past three decades of popular music-- one that extends beyond the typical Baby Boomer-approved canon of the Clash, Prince, Public Enemy, Nirvana, Radiohead, and Outkast.

From art-rock and proto-punk godfathers such as Brian Eno, Iggy Pop, and David Bowie to today's leading lights such as the Arcade Fire, the White Stripes, and Kanye West; from superstars to cult heroes; and from punk, indie, and pop to hip-hop, electronic music, and metal, we've created the ultimate playlist. Interspersed throughout are sidebars on the most vital subgenres from electro to grime to riot grrrl, along with pieces like "Career Killers: The Songs That Ended It All" and "Runaway Trainwrecks: The Post-Grunge Nadir."

Edited by Pitchfork Founder/President Ryan Schreiber and Editor-in-Chief Scott Plagenhoef, and written by an all-star team of contributors, The Pitchfork 500 is the perfect book for the train ride to work, a cozy winter's night by the fireside, or extended stays on the toilet.

For more information on The Pitchfork 500, go to www.thepitchfork500.com; to pre-order now, go to Insound. And remember to look for it at your local bookstore starting November 11! (It sure would make for a nice holiday gift, hint hint.)

Well, this makes sense. Radiohead let their fans buy the stems for In Rainbows track "Reckoner"; Kanye West gave away the stems for his Ellen-approved 808s and Heartbreak track "Love Lockdown". Just add water, right? Mash-up artist DJ Earworm has combined the two tracks by probably the most widely admired artists in rock and hip-hop, respectively, and the result sounds pretty much as you'd expect.

I'm not sure the sleek, moody Jonny Greenwood guitar lines are in perfect sync with West's Olympic-opening-ceremony percussion, but the tingling melancholy of the Radiohead track is a surprisingly natural fit for the heartbroken recriminations of "Love Lockdown". Looks like releasing your song's stems could be the new "let fans pay what they want for your new album." Hey, they're kind of smart, these Radiohead and Kanye guys, huh?

Dupli Casa, a private residence by the Neckar river, near the old town of Marbach in South- Western Germany, is a wonderful example of connection and fluidity. It connects the inside with the outside, up with down, air with ground and most cleverly past with present and even future. From the outside, the three-storey concrete villa looks like a bit like some sort of a fiberglass motorboat job gone funny, yet it also manages to look immensely appealing and intriguing. From some angles, the structure appears to be standing upside down the lower exterior rim spilling onto the lawn and forming a part of a roof structure, if the building were to stand the other way around. It could have been blown there by the wind; it could be a StarWarsian vehicle frozen in place; it could be just taking off to outer space. The outdoor swimming pool and the white surface surrounding it seem like a perfect reflection of the house, almost as if the house had been face down on the ground, and when it was lifted off the ground, the process had left an imprint of a swimming pool on the ground and the large window opening in the house. The views from the inside are amazing, especially from the vast ground-level openings that again, give the sensation of flying, being airborne, weightlessness. Everything is fluid, flowing and smooth. All of this is very much in keeping with the main inspiration for the house. The new residence follows the footprint of the previous dwelling and its numerous extensions. The idea was to let the family archaeology continue in the new building. Its a house that remembers its beginnings in 1984 yet projects boldly into the future. Dupli Casa is the work of Jgen Mayer H., founder and principal of his cross-disciplinary studio. J. Mayer H. Architekten (http://www.jmayerh.com/) in Berlin. Other team members include Georg Schmidthals, Thorsten Blatter and Simon Takasak, plus Uli Wieslers architecture studio based in Stuttgart. - Tuija Seipell

Trust Melbourne (the city that holds Design close to its bosom) to be the home of the latest initiative from ANZ Bank; a Breakout Learning Centre designed by Hassell. (http://www.hassell.com.au/en.html)As the title suggests, this large, flexible, multi-purpose space is designed to encourage creativity, however it is in the execution that the freedom from constraints of a normal office environment is apparent. Forget about boring corporate colors, obvious branding and drab office furniture (in the style of hit series The Office). The use of unexpected materials and contradictory colors in the space and its furnishings produces startling results. Plywood, paint and patterned rubber with industrial raw finishes are topped off with a pop of fire-engine red and frog green! Various-size meeting rooms are equipped with state-of-the art technology to enhance the group experience. Perhaps my favorite design features are the Tree of Knowledge and the Giant Foot. Just like in a fairytale, the tree grows between floors in a natural raw shape reminding us that the childlike imagination is where creativity is ripest. Beneath the tree, the Giant Foot reminds us about reality and perception. Kate Vandermeer

Hector Serrano Studio (http://www.hectorserrano.com) has curated and designed the exhibition Spain Emotion as well as the communication campaign of the Spanish participation at this years Tokyo Designer's Week. The event is organized by the Spanish Institute for Foreign Trade (ICEX) and will take place in the Spanish Embassy in Tokyo from 30 October to 3 November 2008.More than an exhibition, Spain Emotion is a celebration of the best Spanish design in the Tokyo Designer's Week that encompasses not only this exhibition, but also conferences and seminars; a forum that provides with an exceptional opportunity to get to know at first hand those who are behind the products. The aim of Hector Serrano Studio this year is for emotion to be the guiding threads of their story, and the products its main characters. To this end, they have created a space that aims to surprise, entertain, seduce and encourage, rather than simply showing; four large stages where light dramatises and bathes the surroundings and the pieces in color. Color to communicate the vitality and energy with which the Spanish character is so often identified. In short, an experience aimed at revealing the latest in Spanish design, in a most emotive way. - Tuija Seipell

"Dying" former EastEnders star Wendy Richard marries her partner ahead of receiving treatment for cancer.

he classic neo-hippie band, Blues Traveler, who first made it big with their self-titled debut album in the early 1990&rsquo;s, are back with their seventh studio effort, <span style=\"font-style: italic\">North Hollywood Shootout.</span>&nbsp; Featuring a diverse range of material, John Popper&rsquo;s crew returns to a modern musical landscape with new material that is grounded in what originally made the band successful, catchy melodic hooks, introspective lyrics, and a hearty dose of classic rock and roll.

Gossip in the Grain, his third offering, finds LaMontagne at the top of his game, with his voice again being his best weapon of choice. <br />

Following their mega-successful debut double shot of 1994’s Definitely Maybe and 1995’s (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, Oasis were poised to rule the rock game. But 1997’s underwhelming Be Here Now put an end to that.

>> News Alert: Noel Gallagher Has a Sense of Humor!

Ever since, the band has been stuck in rock'n'roll Triple-A. Not quite major leaguers on par with Coldplay, the Chili Peppers, or Radiohead, but able to fill arenas nonetheless. And even though the new Dig Out Your Soul is a welcome return to the supersonic guitars and straightforward songwriting of those early albums, Oasis’s cultural moment has passed. The brothers Gallagher won’t be getting called back to the bigs anytime soon.

But for sheer entertainment value, they deserve better. It doesn’t matter that Noel has no longer got a multiplatinum platform, he still talks like everyone’s listening, whether that means beefing with Jay-Z or ragging on Radiohead.

I love it.

And Liam is no quote slouch either. Take, for example, the following Wildean zinger, leveled at the fool who tackled Noel in Toronto: “If it were up to me, I’d have cut his dick off and made him eat it.” Not exactly something Chris Martin would say. Come to think of it, what is something Chris Martin would say? Only Gwyneth knows for sure.

And that’s why we need Oasis. Slagging people in the press, public intra-band squabbling, releasing albums of tunefully kickass guitar rock, speaking in a British accent -- this is what rock stars are supposed to do! Now, it just so happens that rock stars are a little like dinosaurs these days, but guess what? Dinosaurs are awesome.

From the release of their sophomore effort, Pretty. Odd, to a visit to London's Abbey Road studios, to their exhaustive North American tour, Panic at the Disco have had a very busy year -- and according to frontman Brendon Urie, the band doesn't plan to let up.

In a recent interview with Billboard.com, Urie said the quartet have been "writing non-stop" since the completion of Odd, and that their yet-to-be titled third full-length could arrive in spring 2009. According to Urie, the new material's sound is similar to Odd's classic-rock revivalism: "There's so much music we haven't discovered from 30 years ago or more. We're still trying to pick up on that stuff."

Until then, fans can hear Urie on Fall Out Boy's forthcoming full-length, Folie A Deux, along with many other diverse collaborators.
