The Smile : A Light For Attracting Attention

The Smile I’m sure is the kind of project that fans of early Radiohead get all riled up about. Worried for Phil, Colin, and Ed because Thom and Jonny are off doing their weird artsy stuff and leaving the rest of the band behind. “How will they eat?” “Who’s making sure Colin’s shoes are tied?” […]

Thom Yorke : Anima

Thom Yorke’s output sans Radiohead has been both more dystopian and personal. A mish mash of jittery electronics and claustrophobic vocals; it’s as if he was creating these songs locked away in a darkened room with no windows or signs of life to speak of. Trapped with nothing but a laptop and a looming existential […]

Thom Yorke Announces New Dystopian Album ‘Anima’; I Rejoice

Maybe it’s the fact that I’m on holiday, renting a home barely 15 feet from Lake Erie listening to the waves crash behind me, but I’m in a good place right now. Yesterday, after a 3 hour drive to Ann Arbor to take in some local burgers at Krazy Jim’s, hit up Underground Sounds for […]

What the hell, Hubner? You’re the first to get all stupid and fanboy when they drop a crumb on […]

Thom’s Diner

It rose from the ether of the internet and got a whole lot of flack, really. “Sounds like The Eraser”, “Boring”, “More […]

Thom Yorke :: Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes

Out of the blue on what was thought to be just another normal Thursday afternoon Thom Yorke dropped a brand new solo album. No real warning, other than some random tweets of some mysterious white vinyl spinning. Thom and Radiohead are no strangers to the surprise release, with In Rainbows and The King of Limbs […]

Atoms For Peace-Amok

Amok is a record not about stories and narrative. It’s not a record about capturing that magical spark created by five musicians playing together in the studio. It’s not even a concept record about a dystopian society. No, Amok is a record about feel. It’s a record about movement and flow. If you haven’t been […]
