I post music news, album reviews, playlists, best of's, music I research, music I'm digging on, music you're digging on, etc. And sometimes, obscure references and Thom Yorke praises.
And highly unnecessary animation.

On February 25th, Thom Yorke played a low key, solo show at the Cambridge Corn Exchange to support friend and environmentalist Tony Juniper’s Parliament campaign.
All proceeds went to the Green Party.
Thom performed some of his new material including “Give Up the Ghost” (see above), “The Daily Mail,” and “I Froze Up.” Also played a great Casio-heavy version of “Weird Fishes.”
Most of the videos of Yorke’s performance at Cambridge Corn Exchange are on YouTube.

BREAKING NEWS:
From what I have just been told, it will be the “sensory experience of your life” to watch this if you are high.
In the latest issue of NME, guitarist Ed O’Brien confirmed that Thom Yorke was misquoted in his latest interview in The Believer, which led fans to believe that Radiohead would only be releasing singles from now on.
Radiohead has scheduled recording sessions for this winter and will release a full-length album in 2010.
VIDEOS:
“Skirting on the Surface”
“Lotus Flower”
“Open the Floodgates”
They are so popular that people have already done their own acoustic covers of them and posted them on Youtube. THE SAME NIGHT.
“Follow Me Around” (Live at Latitude) - Thom Yorke
Opens with Thom saying “I’ll be your bitch.” Perfect.
I don’t know where I’m going with this but it ends with me being able to go see his show in L.A. in 30 minutes.
1,114 MILES AWAY FROM ME.
Hey, Thom, you could just personally come punch me in the guts, instead.
