Music Broken Bells get interactive

Music Monday: In case you missed it, Broken Bells — the collaboration between Brian Joseph Burton (Danger Mouse) and Shins frontman James Mercer — went live last week with what appears to be the world's first interactive video. Viewers can use their mouse to create blue lines (think of an Etch-A-Sketch in which the lines quickly fade like comet trails). While you're squiggling around, the video itself shows a black screen in which stars, figures and other stuff float toward you in what's supposed to be 3-D. (Not sure about this last claim.)
You can watch a promotional clip for the new "October" video below — and don't forget to read the Indy's interview with James Mercer here. (Thanks to Sarah White for letting us know about this.)
