For all their laurels, Radiohead’s kind of like the Pope – zealots claim infallibility, rationals know better. If you’re not in on the inside concept (or only had your elder brother’s Brother Word Processor 10 years ago), OK Computer is a cold, confusing mess. And Kid A and Amnesiac - both stellar portraits of a [...]

I don’t know why fans are [...]

“After the surprise success of his self-titled, low-key debut on Hyperdub , Burial returns with an eagerly awaited follow up album, ‘Untrue’. The new record is weird soul music, hypersoul, lovingly processing spectral female voices into vaporised R&B and smudged 2step garage. Voices are blurred, smeared, pitched up, pitched down and pitch bent until their [...]

Music for Kids Who Can’t Read Good has a nice collection of downloadable tracks that work well with Phase, the iTunes/iPod video game.
Personally, I’ve enjoying playing Phase with DJ Shadow, Depeche Mode, Death Becomes Even The Maiden, and Smashing Pumpkins. Oh, and Future Sound of London. I tried Battles, but it was a [...]

Ahead of the Neo-Shoegazing resurgence by at least 5 years, Virginia’s Skywave [1995-2003] channeled My Bloody Valentine, Jesus and Mary Chain and more. An experience they apparently parlayed into an effects pedal business, appropriately named Death by Audio. Today it would appear that they are producing records [scroll right] by some of the [...]

To complete the circle, somewhat. A while back I asked if anyone had ever heard Eno’s Music For Airports playing in, well, an airport. Pat, lacking access to a specific Music For Airports playing airport, decides to bring Music For Airports with him to an airport of his choosing.

I figured that I could [...]

Ryan Adams’ alter-egos are tiny windows into the man’s genuine insanity. He looks like Roy Orbison on acid in this deliberately lo-fi clip. Hilarious and uncomfortable at the same time. Get off my spaceship, bitch!
