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 [...]
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 [...]
Yesterday, the 5th of November, will most likely remain in the history books as one of the most important dates of US culture. The day the first colored American President was elected, President Obama. Fireworks, bonfires and loads of other celebrations swept the US and world, alike, in honor of this momentous day. I, for [...]
The so called Radiohead In Rainbows model has been praised, criticized, analyzed, turned over and regurgitated so many times I’ve lost count myself. Their act of musical revolt against the major labels and conventionality for that matter, has lead to a wave of enlightenment among similar bands, who’ve since then released albums under the same [...]
When one of my favorite DJs, Diplo, and one of my favorite contemporary rock bands, Radiohead, mix together, there can only be goodness getting out of the whole business. Diplo first posted a remix of Reckoner a while back, for the Radiohead Remix contest, now he just posted a final version of the remix down [...]
I’m really late with this, but I’ve been away in the Carpathian mountains this weekend for some serious hiking and had no chance to see it, let alone post it. Anyway, last Thursday Radiohead played its last gig off their ginormous In Rainbows tour in Santa Barbara, CA. The band ended the tour with an [...]
While on tour, playing in Auburn, WA, Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood moved close to each other and started playing a “Faust Arp” duet, like they always do shows, however… this time Thom forget the lyrics. Anyway, after a series of jokes and ramblings around the matter, to escape this somewhat embarrassing moment, the [...]
I was really impressed and ecstatic about the new Radiohead video, for In Rainbows slow jam “House Of Cards,” when I first talk about it last week. Now, finally, the video has surfaced on the web (well actually it’s been on for a few good days now, but I’ve been away and stuff like that) [...]
[tag]Radiohead[/tag] has a long history of forgetting conventions and experiencing new things. So there’s virtually little things that could surprise us coming from them. Or so we thought…. Apparently, it seems the video for their latest single, House of Cards, has been filmed projected in a whole different manner, with the help of two ultra-high [...]
It seems the people behind [tag]U2[/tag] aren’t too fond of the Radiohead model of selling their latest album, In Rainbows. Specifically, U2’s manager Paul McGuinness confessed recently that he feels that Radiohead’s pay-what-you-want policy “backfired.” He also assured everybody that in no way U2’s upcoming album, that will probably see the light of day sometime [...]
