The “Reckoner” that was part of the band’s live sets sounds nothing like the “Reckoner” on the album, which includes the lyrics “in rainbows.” When the band returned from touring, it decided the song needed a second part, and then a third one; eventually it discarded the original. For “All I Need,” Mr. Greenwood said, he wanted to recapture the white noise generated by a band playing loudly in a room, when “all this chaos kicks up.” That sound never materializes in the more analytical confines of a studio. His solution was to have a string section, and his own overdubbed violas, sustaining every note of the scale, blanketing the frequencies.
“The first time we ever did ‘All I Need,’ boom! It was up on YouTube,” Mr. Yorke said. “I think it’s fantastic. The instant you finish something, you’re really excited about it, you’re really proud of it, you hope someone’s heard it, and then, by God, they have. It’s O.K. because it’s on a phone or a video recorder. It’s a bogus recording, but the spirit of the song is there, and that’s good. At that stage that’s all you need to worry about.”
Pitchfork: Speaking of the visuals, why isn’t there a DVD of this tour? Do you ever look up yourself on YouTube just to watch audience members go nuts? Thomas Bangalter: We are really excited by the idea that so many different people captured a video of their experience of the show in their own way. The thousands of clips on internet are better to us than any DVD that could have been released.
Thomas & Thom both share a love for Youtube.
I’m sure all of you have seen this but I can’t get enough of how hilarious/genius it is.
One of the goals set for ‘In Rainbows’ was to prevent the album from leaking on the internet beforehand, as had happened with the previous three albums. Colin: “It felt like a gigantic risk. Like Mission: Impossible, almost. We destroyed all CDs after every day of recording. And on the master we’d always write a name which would probably nobody would listen to if we had lost it; ‘Eagles: Greatest Hits.’ ‘Kula Shaker Demo’s.’ ‘Phil Collins’s Hip Hop Covers
Sébastien Tellier – L’amour et la Violence * Link Removed by Request*
Another new track off his up and coming album, Sexuality coming out next year, co-produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo. This is a fusion of his classic overcompressed piano with his new found love for 70s synths. Dark & epic.
Stockhausen was a huge contributor to European Avant-Garde music and has had some lasting impact on todays musical landscape. Jonny Greenwood is a huge fan.
For all you who don’t remember here is Kanye’s VMA flip out.
Kanye with Thomas & Guy-Man
Kanye West is in the lead with 8 nominations. Amy Winehouse comes in second wiht 6 nominations. Timbaland seems to have his hand in every category. Smart guy.

No wonder Sebastien Tellier is so musically inclined. His dad was in a 70s Euro Prog Rock band. Magma, a fusion spaz jazz prog rock band that reminds me of a Mahavishnu Orchestra with the rambling vocals of Damo Suzuki meets the crooner vocals of Bryan Ferry. The drummer is a tank and Zach Hill from Hella adores him.
Frantic Thom Yorke vocals, guitars tuned down to Drop-A, a hardcore drum part and heavy bass action. Oh Radiohead!!! This is my favorite track off of the Bonus CD from the boxset that everyone has been waiting for. This track is like Bodysnatchers taken to a new level. Radiohead is so badass.
1 1/4 cups butter or margarine, softened – 2 cups granulated sugar – 2 large eggs – 2 teaspoons vanilla extract – 2 cups all-purpose flour – 3/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa – 1 teaspoon baking soda – 1/2 teaspoon salt – 2 cups chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350*F (175*C). In large mixer bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; gradually blend into creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 8 to 9 minutes.

“LOTO is the coolest band in Portugal :), they are massive in the land of the “francesinha” (it’s a traditional portuguese dish…soooooo good) theirs latest CD “Beat Riot” is out now, and it include huge collaborations with a couple of big names, Peter Hook (Joy Division/New Order) and Del Marquis (Scissor Sisters)..enough!? : )”
Checkout the original “Back to Disco”. Great synth part.
