Radiohead

By Nathaniel(noreply@blogger.com) You, You're Awesome are releasing their third EP sometime soon (this Fall) and hopefully some more remixes too; judging by their press photo they not only love wearing Radiohead but manipulating them too. Check out their stellar rendition of "Reckoner" below:

By connor(contact.iguessimfloating@gmail.com) Three sequence programmers - Charles Delaporte, Arnaud Via and Hugues Payen - with a love of electronic music and swing jazz, together with Toustou, Zoé and Chapi make one hell of a band. They will soon be heard at the famous Paris Olympia - proof that Caravan Palace are becoming rather popu...

By contact.iguessimfloating@gmail.com (connor) Two years ago Montreal native Patrick Watson was nominated for the Polaris Prize, one of Canada's top music honors, along with some heavy hitters (Arcade Fire, Feist, Chad VanGaalen, Junior Boys) and picked up the award despite the odds. That was for his album Close To Paradise which was a...

By contact.iguessimfloating@gmail.com (connor) In anticipation of White Rabbits' sophomore album and TBD Records debut (home to Radiohead... yeah), I went YouTube'ing in the hope of unearthing some hidden new material. "Fox Hunting" is new track from the forthcoming It's Frightening LP, and the video below sees the band performing the s...

By contact.iguessimfloating@gmail.com (connor) I was a latecomer to electronic music. Instead of Boards of Canada and Aphex Twin, I jumped onto Ratatat, E*Vax, Clue To Kalo and electro-jazz stuff from St. Germain and Soel. With the relatively new "blog house" movement dominating what gets pimped and promoted across the music world, I hav...

By noreply@blogger.com (Nathaniel) MP3 Update: During the countless (needless to say) fucking terrible performances of last night's 51st Grammy Awards, I kept imagining Thom Yorke sitting somewhere in the crowd, holding his head in his hand, wondering where he went wrong. The idea that we applaud these "musicians" as som...

By noreply@blogger.com (Nathaniel) The neat thing about most bands is how they come to be, that is, what kind of crazy obstacles, shifts, and changes a band (usually) endures before growing comfortable within their own skin. Calico Horse, a band featured a few Thursdays ago via their douzy of a Radiohead cover, has definitel...

By noreply@blogger.com (Nathaniel) Well, my friends (ew, John McCain), you and I have some impeccable timing to write about this young and upcoming act from the land of cheese. For, today, The Chairs are releasing their debut November EP to the worldwide web for absolutely nothing. In this regard, says the band, they are like R...

By noreply@blogger.com (connor) There’s a lot of buzz surrounding the new material from Melbourne’s The Temper Trap and no wonder, because the first taste of their 2009-due album, Sweet Disposition, is a delay-driven melody fest. Recalling the sounds of ’80s U2, Sweet Disposition was recorded in the UK with famed produ...

By noreply@blogger.com (Nathaniel) Starting of this Thursday's session of covers, I'll be sticking to a handful of bands that are lesser known. Well.. lesser known for now anyways, think of this as a precursor to an upcoming dose of exposure to each band's original works sometime next week. Calico Horse capture the pleasant war...

By Nathaniel(noreply@blogger.com) It'll be interesting to see if one mega-musician responds to another, especially considering both Prince (released his first CD to internet in 1997) and Radiohead (e.g. In Rainbows experiment) have been forward thinkers in the internet medium.
