last time I checked he didn't have sole creative control over what Radiohead produce? It's a bit bizarre to attribute the creative processes of a band to one man, especially when you consider the talents of the other people present..

You make some pretty valid points but this is a really clumsily written article.

He likes his cheasy vocals though, 'walls' has quite a few (arcadia in particular). I dunno, maybe i'm just relieved that it isn't as big a mess as 'auf kosten der gesundheit' but i really enjoy it as an album, sounds like they had a lot of fun in the studio..

Four tet's remix of atoms for peace is indeed awesome, i'll check out the jack white remix, sounds interesting

but yeah some of his stuff can be a bit hit & miss. Moth sounds awesome on first listen..

have you listened to the new moderat album? It sounds pretty ace to my ears, a really nice mix of the crunch of modeselektor and the more synthy stylings of apparat with a bit of burial style dubstep thrown into the mix...

I'm liking the Red Cloud Ep/ the slava album is dowloading as i type, thanks!

tbf even if it is a retread of some of the ideas of chromophobia i'll probably still love it..

thanks to emusic, it feels like the sort of album that will unravel nicely after some cocerted listening :) Some of it sounds kinda post-rocky ('nowhere' in particular kinda reminds me of explosions in the sky...)

I'v just downloaded the sight below Ep and it's sounding pretty great so far, perfect armchair listening :) This is definitely the sort of writing DiS should be promoting...

it's an incredibly absorbing album, definitely one of my favourites of the year

1) Why?- Alopecia
2) Grouper- Dragging a Dead Deer up a Hill
3) The Notwist- The Devil You + Me
4) Tv On The Radio- Dear Science
5) No Age- Nouns
6) Hauschka- Ferndorf
7) Deerhunter- Microcastles
8) Frightened Rabbit- The Midnight Organ Fight

i really like the world's end girlfriend track :)

'Blue Notebooks' and 'Songs from Before' are both incredible albums that match Johannson pound for pound for emotional intensity/ despite the new effort being quite gimmicky it has some really involving moments

nevertheless on first listen this sounds pretty amazing, something to challenge the new grouper album for my late night listening

band i saw this summer and i had the mispleasure of seeing does it offend you yeah? too (at least they got the crowd going). They were on after battles and before bjork and, needless to say, both acts absolutely owned them

stadium electronica *shudders*

hopefully they'll play 'you an whose army' when i see them..

Worst band i saw at great escape by

were the worst band i saw all weekend, seriously terrible (the lead singer sounds like Mika for gods sake) + the time it took to remove all their equipment from the stage meant no age came on really late, which meant i was late for okkervil river. Not that i'm bitter or anything...

It was a great three days though, highlights for me:

Saul Williams (mindblowingly good)
Broken Records
Nina Nastasia (the taking of requests was a nice touch :P)
No Age (the crowd weren't amazingly responsive but they sounded awesome)
Bon Iver (first act i saw and definitely one of the best)

DiS had Zap last time tho so i guess it makes sense...

should be good :)

..

just the berlin show (which i'm going to :D)

I

"the spooky, crawling claustrophobia that occasionally threatened to engulf them on their first records"?

I'v got your number was pretty much my favourite song off of cast of thousands (that or ribcage)/ part of the reason i love Asleep in the back is that sinister clostrophobic feel that underpins it all...

but yeah i'm looking forward to this :)

i agree; there isn't much incentive to go back and actually pay for it if you'r trying it out/ 5dollars is a bit low for a full albu (be it a purely digital release)
I'v never been really into NiN but i admire the way they'v done this, it seems lot more structured (perhaps learning from the saul williams attempt, i mean they seem to work together a lot). It certainly seems like a good template from which established artists could release their stuff..

5 dollars seemed like a more than reasonable price to pay for an album/ some money actually went to an artist i appreciate. I'm not an audiophile but i like to pay artists for the music they create...

but 'prospectors arrive', in particular, sounds stunning even without the film context

there will be blood is definitely one of the films i'm looking forward to this year..

so far

i really should get a ticket soon

please

can't wait for the new album :)

i'm guessing they'r mainly on that list because the lead singer is a sibling of one of the maccabees...

new song from the album sounds awesome too :)

Asleep in the back is just genius...

it really is pretty amazing..

he any good?

how strange..

..

i thought they were pretty good live, some entirely unnecessary monitors on stage/ a bit of indie pretentiousness but the songs themselves were pretty catchy

there wasn't any mobile waving either strangely enough...

your first point was that they'v played the media off precisley by saying nothing and then you say that you hope thom yorke will shut up.

Truth is thom yorke hasn't really said anything about the downloading/ record company issue.. (at least not to my knowledge)

XL and radiohead seems like a pretty good fit to me

all this bollocks about challenging the record industry came from the media not the band itself, what the download release did was pre-empt enivitable leaks.. instead of the album filtering out slowly eveyone got to hear it at the same time, a jesture i find pretty admirable..

by about a country mile

but then maybe that's just me...

??

johnny foreigner- the twilight sad- idlewild

sounds good to me :)

i wasn't entirely convinced by the new stuff live but maybe that's just a familiarity thing...

how v exciting :D

are goooooood live

how bizzarre

should be good though :)

so's the album really, bit of a grower...

good album

one of my albums of the year so far..

he has an amazing voice :)

the video is ace :)

:D how v ace..

..probably the most sensationalist article i'v ever read in said paper

but worse! in fact this probably would be v if it was a 3 day event (Except the friday on the other stage maybe)
