new video: thom yorke | all for the best

new video: thom yorke | all for the best Rolling Stone is proud to premiere the video for Thom Yorke's cover of "All For the Best" from the upcoming tribute disc Ciao My Shining Star: The Songs of Mark Mulcahy . Directed by Melinda Tupling, the video is a David Lynch-like odyssey that fits perfectly with Yorke's stirring, Eraser ed rendition of the Miracle Legion song. The song is also noteworthy because it features the first time the Radiohead frontman and his brother Andy Yorke, lead singer for the Unbelievable Truth, have appeared together on a song, with Andy's background vocals complimenting his big bro's trademark [...]

thoughts for tonight: best of british 2009: 10-6

<< 15-11 Continuing the countdown, the final five come next weekend. 10. Daniel Fridholm - Daniel Fridholm May 2009. Unreleased Some may remember Daniel Fridholm's praising review earlier this year. Since then popular, Record of the Year-nomiated blog 'Cosmic Disco' has also ran features articles, and 2010 should be seeing more material. 'I Need Green' is a synthpop masterpiece that feels as at home under December's darkened skies and drunken nights, as it does; picnics in the fleeting days of British [...]

guest feature :: mike fox GLASSJAW by Mike Fox First and foremost I would like to thank my buddy Danielle at musicisart for allowing me to give this guest review for one of my favorite bands. On Wednesday November 25th 2009 at The Chevrolet Theater in Wallingford, CT, GlassJaw took the stage with a very dim lighting set, a backdrop of green Puerto Rican flag, Mr. Daryl Palumbo lead singer/front man of GJ bearing a very dapper suit. The intro started with (You Think You're) John Fucking Lennon which has not been released on cd as of yet but [...]

guest feature :: max vernon

guest feature :: max vernon Words by Max Vernon I personally love when music tells a great story, so I try to create portraits of the people I meet. I admit I'm not above writing songs to get back at people who suck (as in the case of "Around Your Finger" and "Your Girlfriend"), as long as there is some kind of disconnect between the emo-ness of the music and the lyrics to keep it interesting. To me there's nothing worse than a whiny, pissed off break up song that sounds like [...]

Thoughts for Tonight: Best of British 2009 15-11

Considering its the year I decided to pen 'Thoughts for Tonight'; the self-indulging, British, rant about what's good on this side of 'the pond', it was an incredibly disheartening task coming up with an end of year list. Yet, after much careful deliberation, many re-listens and such extensive hair-pulling, that it looks like I've had [...] Related posts: Thoughts for Tonight: Geddes About five years, in a rather misguided part of...

Thoughts for Tonight: Codeine Velvet Club

To be underwhelmed by The Fratellis was an easy task to accomplish; their catchy but lifeless pop melodies, senses-dulling guitar hooks, and lyrics such as "I was good, she was hot/Stealing everything she got," didn't do them any favours outside of the British mainstream. When I woke up today (Friday), I finally got round to [...] Related posts: Thoughts For Tonight: Daniel Fridholm I really hate disco. I am aware as a...
