When I was single, I would "impress" women by telling them about some of the cool mid-'90s concerts at which I spent generous portions of my college life. I managed to find a spouse in spite of this behavior, but since you asked, these were my surefire closers: Blur at the Academy in '94, touring for Parklife , supported by Pulp, touring for His N Hers ; Hole, also at the Academy , also in '94 (five months after Kurt's death), touring for Live Through This , supported by Weezer, touring for the Blue [...]
Lista de invitados del concierto que ofreció Radiohead en 1997 en Nueva York Por si alguna vez se ha preguntado en un concierto: ¿Quiénes conformarán la lista de invitados especiales del artista? A continuación la respuesta, específicamente la lista de invitados de Radiohead del concierto que dieron en el Irving Plaza de Nueva York en 1997 (vía The Fader ) Los siguientes puntos nos parecen bastante acertados por parte de CoS , por lo que decidimos replicarlos. 1. Mike McCready y [...]
Why can't you get tickets? There's a permanent sway that has held over the music festival market, drifting in one improbable direction in the past six years. Availability for music festivals, such as Lollapalooza , Bonnaroo , and Coachella , have become slim in recent years, selling out earlier and earlier every season. What results is a fundamental change in the way we, as fans, approach the idea of festivals. What resulted of this furious whirlwind attempt to get tickets started six years ago, at [...]
Here are 10 things about this incredible guest list from Radiohead' s 1997 show at Irving Plaza in New York City (via The Fader ): 1. Mike McCready and Eddie Vedder planned to arrive separately so the question is, "Who had to waste their +1 on Jeff Ament?" 2. It's unclear if Brad Pitt had Gwyneth Paltrow or Claire Forlani as his +1 (Oh shit, what if it was Thandie Newton?) 3. Courtney Love may have brought Edward Norton as her +1. 4. The chances one of U22s 17 guests hooking up with one [...]
If you're a product of the 90s or before, then one thing is for certain – you probably had some angst built up inside you. Whether you were stoned out of your mind listening to Nirvana or dancing around your room screaming the lyrics to No Doubt, music of that time was your solace and got you through the long, drawn out treachery of high school and everything in-between. Below are five tracks that helped me get through my melodramatic teenage angst stage - but this time around, we have some interesting new elements added to the mix. [...]

On avait quitté Thom Yorke sur un concert avec Radiohead qui marquera à vie la mémoire de ceux ayant pu y participer. On le retrouve seul ou plutôt avec ses acolytes de la tournée Atoms For Peace , nom du groupe réunissant notre chanteur britannique, l'emblématique producteur de Radiohead Nigel Godrich , le bassiste fou-fou des Red Hot Chili Peppers Flea , le batteur Joey Waronker (Beck, R.E.M, Elliott Smith) et enfin Mauro Refosco aux percussions. En bref, une belle équipe pour former le dernier supergroupe (rassemblement de talents confirmés [...]

With all this recent talk of Smalltown Supersound , one would be forgiven for thinking there was a global conspiracy behind their ubiquity. With incredible records from Lindstrøm and Tussle still fresh in our minds, we now have news of a debut album from Four Tet collaborators RocketNumberNine . The story goes that a session with legendary percussionist Steve Reid led to a chance encounter with Kieran Hebden, who produced and released 'Matthew & Toby' through his own Text label. From there they ended up collaborating live with Hebden, at which point [...]
It's my last night in town, I’ve seen so many great acts so far and played some great showcases. Now I’m approaching an act that I have waited a long time to see- Black Radio has been not only a huge influence on myself, but as well as every other young musician I’ve met. Robert Glasper, one of the most innovative piano players out there; accompanied by his backing band of some of the top musicians in the world. The crowd is thick and the addition of guest vocalist Erykah Badu brings along several excited whispers that pass [...]
In an interesting cosmic coincidence, this week marks notable anniversaries for two of the more significant debut albums in the world of rock 'n' roll: 25 years ago yesterday, the Pixies released Surfer Rosa , while 50 years ago today, the Beatles released Please Please Me . Perhaps the most interesting thing about this is the contrast between the quality of the records — Surfer Rosa was a fully realized artistic vision, while Please Please Me only hinted [...]
In its two decades of existence, " Creep ," the anthem of disconnect that introduced Radiohead to the world, has endured all manner of covers. Prince sang it at Coachella, Korn sang it on MTV Unplugged , you probably sang it when Rock Band 3 included it, and I can vividly remember an entire mob of eighth graders attempting the big falsetto finish when the song was having its radio-dominating moment. But "Creep" might just now be in its silliest iteration, as two of the leads from Fox's high-school musical Glee have used the song [...]

Is that Thom Yorke? No it's the opening track of the debut album from the Radiohead doppelgangers known as Muse. You have to remember though when this record came out Radiohead had abandoned the guitar-driven rock songs in favor of making robot music. The post "Sunburn" - Muse (1999) appeared first on Merchants of Rock .
For all the placidity to the music of Radiohead and Atoms for Peace , their fans sure are vicious. Between violent pushing/shouting matches laying claim to space and one turning around to tell me and a friend “I’m literally going to kill one of you” for briefly chatting near the front of the set, there is a deep sense of ownership to this music. When I walked by Le Poisson Rouge at around 8:00 p.m., the line out front already stretched around the corner. Doors were not until 10 o’clock and the [...]
