Last night Thom Yorke paid a visit to The Boiler Room in London to celebrate the launch of Radiohead‘s Remix conglomerate of “The King Of Limbs”, with beatness from Jamie xx and Caribou too. It was broadcast live over Ustream and it’s now up on YouTube that you can check out below.  At about the 11:20 mark [...]

Listen to Massive Attack and Burial‘s collaboration “4 Walls” below. No, you’re not seeing things, this IS a collaboration between Massive Attack and Burial.

If this seems like a very obvious question to you, then congratulations: you officially have some serious musical chops. If not, I wouldn’t [...]

A couple of weeks ago a new track by Bjork showed up called “Virus” but it sounded like shit, as if it was recorded inside a tin can rolling down a very steep hill, so I refrained from posting it. Today though we have a studio recording of it and it’s gorgeous. Taken from her [...]

See Land is the side project of Doug Kaplan, electric guitarist for college/post/math/prog/heck, pretty much anything-rock outfit The Earth Is A Man. Where The Earth Is A Man demand repeat listens to fathom out the intertwining layers of their fascinating grooves, See Land’s self-titled debut needs to be heard over and over for just the [...]

It’s been ten years since The Strokes released the raw, genre-defining album “Is This It”, which has since been named the Best Album of the Decade by NME, among other titles and accolades. Holy shit! Ten years? It still sounds hip today, which cannot be said for a lot of other popular releases from 2001. [...]
