Thom Yorke’s red hot supergroup
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009
New Moon soundtrack contributor and Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has a new band. Today he announced on Radiohead’s website that he’s formed a new touring group to support his 2006 solo album The Eraser.
Flea from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers is joining him on bass, which makes us think this is going to be quite the supergroup. Radiohead’s producer Nigel Godrich has also joined the line-up.

Less Is More When You’re A(head)
Wednesday, September 9th, 2009
Almost two years ago, Radiohead welcomed a new experimental dawn with the introduction of their “pay-what-you-want” economic model when they released In Rainbows online and offered it to anyone who wanted listen – for free (with an option of leaving something in the post-modern tip jar).
After thousands of fans came knocking on Radiohead’s virtual door, and before the release of the physical album on Oct. 10, Radiohead was able to surpass the total income of their previous album Hail to the Thief.
So what about the fancy (and now poor) labels? They can still feel the aftershocks that quaked through the music world (suckers), as it remains flipped on its axis and looking for a way to cure the digital hangover.
But let’s get back to the point.

Something Grizzly and Disturbing
Monday, May 25th, 2009If you were looking for a good psychological scare today, and who isn’t, why not check out this video that New York’s Grizzly Bear just released for their song “Two Weeks”. These guys opened up for Radiohead at a whole bunch of shows last year, and I’m thinking maybe something a little strange rubbed off on them. The song itself is actually pretty good, and I am enjoying listening to it.
But holy cripesicles, it is hard to concentrate on the song when these guys look like they are dead and bloated zombies with huge anime-style eyes coming to eat me in the suits they were buried in! Did you notice how that one guy blinks his eyes at different times? What IS that? And that smile on the blond dude is not natural.
Patrick Daughters, the director, also worked with Feist on her 1234 video, which was crazy because among other things, it was filmed all in one take. I am having a hard time imagining the dude that could go from that extreme to this one.
This aside, good work Grizzly Bear dudes! You have successfully provided me with nightmares for the rest of the week.
PS: WHY are they GLOWING?!
