--- - |- Photo by Kirstie ShanleyOh Radiohead, will your innovations ever cease? One minute you're dropping an album and a ground-breaking pay-what-you-want pricing scheme on us totally out of nowhere, the next minute you're blowing us away with one hell of a light show, and now you're adding two whole dates to your 2008 tour. Two dates! In Japan, no less!Yes, Radiohead's previously announced ...
No surprise here really. After flanking his mug on billboards for this year's Grammy awards Thom Yorke and the rest of Radiohead have been confirmed as performers for the awards show. Radiohead is up for Album of the Year for In Rainbows, plus four other nominations.

MOM is being a bit wonky with my computer this morning (I guess it hasn't had any coffee yet), but I figured I'd share with the MOG-O-Sphere that, much like many other MOGgers today, any time not being spent transcribing videotaped interviews at my desk is being spent listening to Radiohead's In Rainbows ... It's a wistful, dreamy whirl of an album thus far, and it's really accentuating the chi...
Don't try to sing along with Radiohead while drunk. I think I made my neighbor's dog cry. I had something significant thought out to say about this song, but, again, I've had too much to drink to remember something important from at least half a minute ago. I'm sorry. Please listen anyway. Oh, in case you were wondering, and I can't imagine you were, I was singing along with the background voic...
Wednesday, October 10, 2007Nothing like waking up, poring a cup of coffee, flipping on the computer, and seeing that the new Radiohead is sitting in my inbox, just waiting for me to download it.I've listened to it four times already, and there's not a weak track on the album.

You may recall the aniBoom-sponsored Radiohead animated video contest, announced back in March and narrowed to a field of 10 finalists as of mid-spring. In accordance with the contest rules, Radiohead were meant to pick one grand prize winner out of the ten finalists, which a...
The first in a series of posts showcasing my eternal appreciation for the fine art of the perfect backing vocal. Nailing the backing vocal is the easiest and best way to take me to musical nirvana.Just listen here as Ed transforms "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi" as he comes in when Thom sings "Turn me on to phantoms / I follow to the edge of the earth" at the 2:11 mark.Perfection.[mp3] Radiohead | We...
