For ramblings on how I came to compile this list go here . And for commentary on previous selections: [ #50-46 ] [ #45-41 ] [ #40-36 ] [ #35-31 ] [ #30-26 ] 25. Kid A - Radiohead (2000) While I completely understand my own enthusiasm for this album, I can't say that I really get why everyone else loves it so much. I've noticed that it's already topped some other 'best of the decade' [...]
Whether you followed Spin Magazine 's lead to boycott Radiohead's "special" sound , or you are willing to do anything for a Yorke solo, nothing can prepare you for such blasphemy. You may have seen this spunky blond girl portraying Miley Cyrus' best friend on Hanna Montana , perhaps you just noted the resemblance Emily Osment shares with her clairvoyant brother Haley Joel - either way, this video is hard to stomach regardless of the camp you represent. I suppose it is fathomable to grasp a tween pop newbie like Emily Osment [...]

My favorite piece of news in the past week is Beck's musical response to that clueless buffoon from The Fiery Furnaces , who tried to insult Radiohead, blog-style, but missed the point completely. And in attempting to cover his ass retroactively, took a swipe at Beck. Well, Radiohead, in their lofty chairs of utter superiority, ignored the noise from the male half of a middling indie rock duo, but Beck took a measured swing and, of course, won handily. As you may well be aware, Radiohead wrote and recorded a song a few months back [...]
We may have thought, yesterday, that the now three-way Fiery Furnaces-Radiohead-Beck feud instigated by the Furnaces' Matt Friedberger was over. Instead of whining via publicist or ignoring Friedberger's random attack, Beck responded by offering a fairly awesome free track called (what else?) "Harry Partch." All seemed right in the world: Radiohead had kept its silent dignity, Friedberger had been thoroughly PWNED and Beck had made sure the kids at least got something out of the media circus. But Friedberger, we've learned, just doesn't know how to gracefully accept defeat . He's [...]

Beck pays tribute to sound architect Harry Partch with 10 minute opus, defends Radiohead who pay respect to WWII British solider Harry Patch. Beck - "Harry Partch" -mp3 Radiohead - Harry Patch (In Memory Of)" -mp3 Charlotte Gainsbourg & Beck - "Heaven Can Wait" -video
![[MP3] Beck: "Harry Partch"](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2137900_lg.jpg)
You like feuds, right? Because this new Beck song is the baby of the feud of the year and it's pretty messy. The story goes like this: Radiohead wrote a song back in August about Harry Patch, the UK's oldest surviving WWI veteran (aww!). Well The Fiery Furnaces' Matthew Friedberger heard this and mistook it to be a song about apparently trendy 20th century composer Harry Partch . Because this upset him so, Friedberger lambasted Radiohead for being obnoxious and writing about trendy things. When he realized his mistake, he released a statement that read: "Matt would [...]

The Twelves have released 3 fantastic mixtapes and so far I've posted two and it's been one of the most downloaded files on this site. The time has come to complete the series with the with yet another jewel, Episode II . Aside from Steph Lund's Le Miel du Mois (recently crowned mixtape goddess on The Clink ), I can't say I've heard many mixtapes that can keep my attention for more then a song but this series has absolutely no problem accomplishing that task. I quoted my friend Ben when I posted their last mixtape [...]
We respect the work that Spin Magazine does. We respect the good, hardworking journalism that's created in-depth features and profiles, which add to the greater lexicon of music criticism. Plus, they're one of the few that are still around! However, in a move that we find giggle-worthy and that is bound to stir up a storm of annoyed music geeks, the magazine has buried deep into the annals of history and unearthed the truths behind music's greatest myths. The list of 16 ranges from the near blasphemous (Myth: Radiohead can do [...]
I've already said all I care to about Spin and The Fiery Furnaces ' recent attacks on Radiohead . But while the latter has chosen not to respond to Matt Friedberger's provocations, it looks like a minor target of the indie rocker's wrath is having his say - in a singularly musical way. You may remember that when The Fiery Furnaces issued a press release clarifying that they, in fact, do not like Radiohead, they got in a parting shot at another musician with both mainstream popularity and critical cred: "Matt would have much [...]
So, if you an obsessive Radiohead'er or hardcore indie kid who spends way too many hours on the Internet (like us!), you probably know that at some point in the last month, The Fiery Furnaces' Matt Friedberger talked some shit about Radiohead because he thought Yorke and Co. had written a song Harry Partch, the American composer. He said (via Spinner ), "'Oh, please listen to our new song about Harry Patch'. Fuck you! You brand yourself by brazenly and arbitrarily associating yourself with things that you know people consider cool, That is [...]

Filed under: News Beck appears to have responded to remarks made by the Fiery Furnaces ' Matt Friedberger in song. Recently Friedberger took a pop at Radiohead , describing the band as "bogus" for releasing a song as a tribute to the late Harry Patch, who was the last surviving British World War I veteran. It then emerged that Friedberger may well have been misinterpreted after confusing the aforementioned Harry Patch with Harry Partch, the experimental music composer. Instead of leaving it at [...]
BEST ALBUMS OF THE NOUGHTIES The daunting task of putting together something that you know lots of readers won't agree with is never easy, but then we thought you could always go make your own lists. At least we had the balls... So the 50s had rock n roll, the 60s had it's pop and folk, the 70s it's punk, disco and glam, the 80s it's pop, hip hop and hair rock, the 90s it's grunge, brit pop and dance music. It begs the question - what standout genre defines the [...]
