AHHH

Sort of old news.. but in case you fell off the face of the earth a few days ago, may I blissfully inform you that Radiohead's LP7: In Rainbows wil be digitally released in exactly 8 days. ONLY 8 DAYS?!?! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?! Obviously, you do.. I'm just having difficulty grasping the whole Radiohead's new album is finally being released reality. Details about the release (as per the album's website):

THIS CONSISTS OF THE NEW ALBUM, IN RAINBOWS.
IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE EXTRA MATERIAL CONTAINED IN THE DISCBOX.
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE FILE DIGITALLY FROM THE 10th OCTOBER 2007.
YOUR PURCHASE MAY BE SUBJECT TO A TRANSACTION FEE.
THIS WILL BE SHOWN AT THE CHECKOUT.

The transaction fee is basically whatever you want it to be. Meaning that you can pay, if you wanted, 12 cents for the digital download in it's entirety. Insane.

Catching Up

Nice that the Justice track went over relatively well.. Yelle's Pop-Up comes out September 3rd. Even if you aren't French, nor understand a word of French, even if you hate 80s homage entirely, EVEN if you can't stand the idea of hearing a french-american-80s-pop inspired integration, I would still, even then, recommend listening to the album in it's entirety before you go off judging it and calling it bad names. Give it a chance. I did.

MP3: Les Femmes - Yelle (YSI)
MP3: 85A - Yelle (YSI)



Other than jamming out to/trying to understand Yelle's new album, however, I've been busy getting overly excited for Radiohead's new album/ep/whatever it's going to be that's due out sometime in 08. Rather than celebrating by putting up yet MORE Radiohead tracks, I've decided to post a few live recordings from Thom Yorke & Jonny Greenwood. Intricate songs like Lucky and Knives Out sound amazing sans all of the extra production. Enjoy the Mp3's, savor them, take them in and give them their own playlist on iTunes.

MP3: Lucky (9/29/03) - Thom Yorke & Jonny Greenwood (YSI)
MP3: Knives Out (9/29/03) - Thom Yorke & Jonny Greenwood (YSI)



A couple more things. One is that These New Puritans are awesome. If you've got the time (I understand you want to give the Yorke & Greenwood tracks your absolute attention, be patient) You can watch them on a new episode of Practice Space on VBS. You can also go their myspace page, and listen to them even more. And then, when you're finished with all of that you can download these:

MP3: En Papier - These New Puritans (YSI)
MP3: C16th - These New Puritans (YSI)



I'm DJing this Friday @ The Annex. So is Jake. I'll be playing awesome stuff. Like maybe:

MP3: Legal Tender - The B-52's (YSI)
and
MP3: One Hundred Years - Nancy Sinatra (YSI)

Ehh, maybe not. I know for sure that I'm playing a Clor Love + Pain b-side that I just recently found purely on accident. So, so good.

Prove Yourself

There aren't many bands that have many albums that I like equally. Radiohead, an exception though. I was making up playlists from random bands' discographies when I realized how hard it is. I ended up making a Radiohead Mix, because that was wonderfully easy, aside from making a Beatles playlist, probably easiest. Besides a few, all of the songs are basically b-sides, the ones that aren't, well.. they're just as cool anyway.
