Radiohead news

Thom Yorke wears a headband to try to look like an entry level alt

 

Gonna try to wear an accessory
that makes me look younger
that helps me appeal to a younger generation of bros
that helps me recapture an entry-level spirit.

65daysofstatic @ Wedgewood Rooms


I arrived at the venue around about 8:30 with a couple of bros. Electronic three piece Nedry took to the stage, armed with two laptops/guitars, a couple of synthesizers and an asian woman. Nedry combined elements of trip hop bands such as Portishead and Massive Attack fused with modern day dubstep/drum and bass. Lead singer Ayu thrashed and stumbled around the stage whilst laying down some haunting vocals, like a kid who has drunk too much fizzy pop.

It’s not for the cock, it’s for a review of the decade

george-bush-eats-a-kitten

The Recession, 9/11, The Internet, Terrorism, George Bush, July 7th 2005, Big Brother, Reality Television, Social Networking, Celebrity, Tony Blair, Online Shopping, The First Black President, The Smoking Ban, I-Pods, Borat, Banksy, Chavs…

In no chronological or logical order, these are just some of the things that the decade dubbed “the noughties” may be remembered for.

New Blogger in Action for hipsterrunoff. Mike is my name and here is my Top 10 albums of the decade.

What’s up guys. This is Mike.. Go ahead and call me MikeBro in honor of Carles the #1 altbro of all time. haha. Go ahead, give me shit cause I’m not him, but give me a little bit of room to grow, too. Sure no one can match Carleses style, but I think if you guys keep coming back, you’ll start to open up to new ideas and words, and just give me a chance to shine. Maybe I need to make a new dotcom for this site, but thats something we can chat about later.. Right now, I have the keys to the badboy, so lets just buckle our seatbelts and take it for a wild ride….

If you haven’t heard about this new Radiohead song, then you probably don’t have the best Internet connection. Which is fine. It’s just a song. Nothing to freak out about.

DOWNLOAD: Hatcham Social - So So Happy Making

British indie-pop group Hatcham Social have enjoyed some stellar company, sharing their drummer with a rising Klaxons, collaborating with The Horrors’ Faris Badwan, and signing in the States to TBD Records, home of White Rabbits and this band called Radiohead.

Did yall watch the Grammys?

Yall.. I didn’t watch the Grammys cuz I’d rather just read reactions to it on the internet, then pretend that I watched it/was there/I am connected to the modern world. Seemed like a real celebration of things that are kinda mainstream but letting more alt artists in2 the show. Some of my favourite bands like MIA, Radiohead, and the Jonas Bros were on display. Maybe next year I’ll be invited?

Radiohead perform “15 Step” at the Grammys with USC Marching Band

radiohead

I didn’t watch the Grammys last night, but you had to pretty much be living under a giant rock to not know about Radiohead performing with the USC Marching Band. Well, I did flip channels to look for the telecast for a few minutes, but ended that pretty quickly as I didn’t even know what channel it was on. As per usual, the video of the band performing “15 Step” from In Rainbows made its way onto YouTube, so definitely check the video out before it gets removed (or maybe it won’t).
