Radiohead: How much is at the end of the rainbow?

Let the hype begin!



Leave it to Radiohead to always leave us in awe with their marketing plots and schemes. In an industry ailing with trouble and a need for new creation outside the box, Radiohead has yet giving us another surprise. Letting fans pay what they might think their In Rainbow album is worth. But be wary, as there is a tempted option to purchase a “Discbox” worth £40.00 (appox. $80). To true Radiohead fans… I’m sure it’s worth it; nevertheless I have qualms due to that sooner or later it will be released in some other packaging and as we all have been burned by some deluxe or limited addition of whatever fancy us, this will sure leave a scar in all, whether it be a healing or permanent scar we are just going to have to jump in the fire loop and cheer/jeer to the tune of Radiohead.

You'll be able to pre-order your download and receive a link by October 10th (name your price). If you chose the discbox above, it will arrive after December 3rd 2007. A regular album release will be early 2008. More details here. More to come, after Oct 10th... from all over!


In all their glory!

DEAD AIR SPACE

Tegan + Sara + Walla

Chris Walla (Death Cab for Cutie fame!!!!) collaborated on the new album for Tegan & Sara, The Con. It's already getting hype as of one of the best albums of '07. Head to MySpace to stream the record if you haven't spent time with it yet, and click the little YouTube play button below to see the girls debate prospective album titles (Sara wanted it to be Sugar, Spell It Out) and watch producer Chris "Polyethylene" Walla help shape the killer title track. The three really bonded! Long lost triplet? Just a hair-dye job away, dear Walla.

Note: MP3: Polyethylene (Part 1 & 2) is one of Radiohead's b-sides from OK COMPUTER. Mr. Walla did a good job in covering it. More on OKX: a tribute to OK COMPUTER soon.

Thom Yorke "Harrowdown Hill"

Finally, After two months I had the energy to finish my blog! Thanks in part to Joshua's DIE CULT URE! I Could not decide what to post first... and after seeing DIE CULT URE! I almost said it was not necessary.

So here it is... Even though this came out July 2006, I choose to start with something that I would wrap myself into and become one... A few words: London, Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood (creator of mostly all the artwork for Radiohead). He also was the artist behind Thom's solo album, The Eraser. He used his London Views exhibit for the artwork, truly inspirational. Also, great vid & lyrics on Harrowdown Hill.


More importantly, this blog will be diverse and open to all sorts of media-culture, music, art and anything worth inspiring others to see points of views other than what we hear and see in our daily routines... including mine!
