radiohead :: thumbs down
recently, the cover of radiohead’s “in rainbows” was released. unfortunately, no album artwork ever graced our downloaded zip file but now its nice to have something official.
its been quite the experience enjoying this entire album, taking in what is new and combining all the emotions of love, chaos and uncertainty that comes with listening to your favorite band’s recent release. only radiohead could get away with placing their music online, having their faithful fans pay as they choose and placing us all into some type of pyschedelic and colorful daze.

in support of the new album, radiohead shared their *thumbs down webcast* that nicely filtered through the modem lines last week. based in their own residential oxford recording studio, the entire band seemed to have alot of fun spinning their own favorite records, laughing, dancing and staring into the camera while changing their own physical shapes and reflections into visual rainbow watercolors.
radiohead played various cuts from *in rainbows*
and covered a few special songs including
bjork’s unravel
new order’s ceremony
the smiths’ the headmaster ritual
however, the true beauty and excitement of the entire show was to hear the music that radiohead actually enjoyed and love to listen to. as with all their webcasts, they have been known to share a broad spectrum of amazing personal recommendations. below, please enjoy a playlist from the dj sets that were created by each member.

I like that Radiohead keeps doing creative things as they progress. They must love that new Burial… which is a little weird.

bjork’s unravel was amazing surprise (very personal song)… thanks for letting us in, to viewing a creative fun ‘hang out’ session….

Excellent job compilling the tracks that each one played. Those Jorge Ben tracks on Ed’s set are amazing, best taste and best moves imho. I’ve also enjoyed Jonny’s sets on the past very much and have to say I was very dissapointed of his brief appearance, he’s the one who finally got me into Louis Armstrong’s and Neil Young’s music. Oh well, hopefully they’ll do a new one around December.

thankyou, ms. moka :) i agree completely.. i love jonny’s taste and was expecting much more especially after listening to his prior compilations. those jorge ben, asian dub tracks are really amazing and ive been hooked on that kings of leon lil tune too :D
