Buy Be He Me. No seriously, buy it.

Radiohead is returning to the studio to record their new album. They released “These are my Naked Words” for download back in August and now they’re returning to finish the job. Ed O’Brien had this to say about the direction of the band and the new album:

“The vibe in the camp is fantastic at present (…) I am so genuinely excited about what we’re doing, but for obvious reasons I can’t divulge anything more.. anyway we all love surprises don’t we? 10 years ago we were all collectively (that’s the band) in the land of Kid A .. and although hugely proud of that record, it wasn’t a fun place to be .. What’s reassuring now, is that we are most definitely a different band, which should therefore mean that the music is different too and that is the aim of the game….keep it moving.”

Stay tuned for more.

i finally got my tickets to see the get up kids in iowa city. i’m so excited. when i heard that they had broken up i was devastated because i had never seen them. myself and a bunch of die-hard get up kids fans/friends of mine are super psyched.

hopefully you can get to see them on this tour because who knows how long this reunion will last. hopefully it will last a long time.

the title pretty much says it all.

download a new radiohead track, these are my twisted words, for free here.

stay tuned for news regarding radiohead’s new album.

something, something, something, dark side,  family guys remake of star wars episode V: the empire strikes back finally has a release date.

s. s. s. d. s. is the first episode of the eighth season of family guy. according to imdb, season eight will premier on sunday, september 27th on fox.

something, something, something, dark side will later be released on dvd and blue-ray on december 22nd.

the video for king rat was fully conceived and developed by none other than heath ledger. the members of modest mouse became friends with ledger through their tour manager and while touring his native australia. ledger outlined the video idea to the band members for the then unfinished song, in opposition of “the illegal commercial whale hunts taking place of [sic] the coast of australia each year.” he intended the video–which shows whales poaching humans to make pet food– “to raise awareness on modern whaling practices.” the video was unfinished at the time of heath’s tragic and untimely death, so it was finished by the los angeles art collective/production company, and ledger was later given director’s credit.

even though no one’s first and you’re next is only an eight track ep of previously unreleased songs, don’t let that discourage you. it’s a great compilation of songs that play just like a new album with the same great sounds of good news for people who love bad news and we were dead before the ship even sank.

no one’s first and you’re next was released on august 4th, if you don’t have it yet, get it.

humbug comes out august 25th.

update: ok, so i’m not going to post anymore arctic monkeys videos because they always get removed. apparently arctic monkey’s p.r. team is averse to free advertising, so fuck all that noise.
