Jimmy Eat World – Bleed American (Dreamworks) There are 10 other tracks on Jimmy Eat World’s fourth effort besides “The Middle” but you’d be hard-pressed to find any average music fan who could name one. Which is a shame because the others are just as good –…
This post is part of our “Top Albums of The Decade” series. Follow the series to read about the best music to grace our ears in the 2000s. The New Pornographers – Mass Romantic (Mint Records) Hailing from the snowy Canadian plains, The New Pornographers shook everyone from the ground up when their incredible blend of contagiously joyful pop first hit record shelves. The band simply oozed of freshness, delivering stunning melodies, amazing riffs and…
I was confused, but now I’m really messed up. A few months ago, Thom told The Beliver Mag in an interview, that “none of us want to go into that creative hoo-ha of a long-play record again. Not straight off. I mean, it’s just become a real drag. It worked with In Rainbows because we had a real fixed idea about where we were going. But we’ve all said that we can’t possibly dive into…
It’s been so far so good for Thom Yorke’s latest project, with two shows in Los Angeles that have earned rave reviews with critics and fans alike. Although with such impressive backup, it was hardly going to be any different. The idea that Flea’s funky bass stylings would slip neatly under Yorke’s darker sound and esoteric vocal style is not a thought that would have come to many, but the singer’s solo material seems to…
This just hit on the DAS Radiohead blog a few hours ago, signed by Thom Yorke: hi in the past couple of weeks i’ve been getting a band together for fun to play the eraser stuff live and the new songs etc.. to see if it could work! here’s a photo.. its me, joey waronker, mauro refosco, flea and nigel godrich. at the beginning of october the 4th and 5th we are going to do…
Last week Radiohead revealed a new, non-LP, non-EP track called “These Twisted Words.” “We’ve been recording for a while, and this was one of the first we finished. We’re pretty proud of it. There’s other stuff in various states of completion, but this is one we’ve been practicing, and which we’ll probably play at this summer’s concerts. Hope you like it,” said Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. We really like it, Jonny, but no one expected…
Boy, am I baffled, though. I’ve spent the last couple of days scorching in the sun while sipping mojitos on my recent, way too short vacation, thinking “Hey, it’s mid-season. Nothing interesting never really happens this time of year. The internet can do just as fine without me.” Was I surprised to find out Radiohead is the hot trending topic everywhere again, especially since Thom Yorke stated the band won’t be releasing a new album…
After last week’s cover of All For The Best, Thom Yorke is back once more, this time with a splendid new song. During his stint at the Suffolk-based Latitude festival Thom premiered the acoustic darling “The Present Tense,” which simply shined among the rest of the Eraser, Radiohead gems. In other related and hilariously sad news, Thom Yorke is reported to have shown interest in contributing to the soundtrack for the upcoming Twilight sequel. “Fortunately,…
A few weeks ago we reported a bit about this year’s Grammy Awards nominees, noting, among others, that the Grammys are finally stepping the game and picking up. The last two editions were disastrous, from multiple perspectives, especially ratings-wise. The nominees are a bit more relevant (don’t expect for miracles, though), the organization seems better and even the promotion process is a lot more interesting, the latest project being a cool awareness campaign, featuring various…
Yes, I know this has been all over the Internet this past summer, but I’ve just found out about it a few minutes ago and thought it would be awesome to post it. I’m talking about Radiohead (half of it actually – Thom and Johnny) and their cover of Portishead’s “The Rip,” off this year’s awesome comeback album, “Third”. The song’s acoustic nature and the video’s casual setting (try to ignore the MAC) makes the…
