Nice!
Radiohead are set to release their Record Store Day single ‘Supercollider’ / ‘The Butcher’ as a free download.
Radiohead and the internet eh? A match made in heaven. ‘In Rainbows’ may have been a game changer, but since that epochal moment the band have refused to slow down with follow up ‘The King Of Limbs’ also utilising the web.
In case you missed it, the Oxford group followed this with a single for Record Store Day. ‘Supercollider’ and ‘The Butcher’ were recorded during sessions for ‘The King Of Limbs’ but were deemed surplus to the final running order.
Released on 12 inch, Radiohead pressed only a limited edition of physical copies. Once they were gone, they were gone…
Now the band have sent a message to fans indicating that ‘Supercollider’ and ‘The Butcher’ are set to be released as free downloads. Opening with ‘thank you’ in 27 different languages, the email says:
“This is not part of a new loyalty points scheme, a Radiohead clubcard or even an air miles redeemable reward type thing… It is just a big old-fashioned thank you!”
Meanwhile, some of the physical copies of the Record Store Day release went out with flawed labels. “Unfortunately, due to err…unforeseen circumstances that we didn’t foresee, some of the vinyl have the labels on the wrong way around” the band wrote on their official blog.
“It is too late to recall the vinyl and stick them on the right way round, so here is a copy of the labels for those of you who wish to download, print, cut out and stick on yourself with pritt stick (other glues are available) thus correcting the error. Or we could just rename the songs.”

Good way to pick up your day…
Beethoven’s Fifth Gold Digger [Kanye West vs. Beethoven vs. Walter Murphy]
Mashup by A Plus DTomorrow night I’ll be talking about the pervasive presence of Beethoven 5 in popular culture, so it seemed particularly appropriate to offer up this remix of a remix of the symphony’s first movement. Besides, wasn’t it Kanye himself who boasted, ‘I just threw some bassoon on this muthafucka’?

Wonder if anybody else is going to copy this idea?
Mumford & Sons are set to tour the US on a vintage train for one week in April, stopping to play six gigs in California, Texas and Louisiana. Also touring with the band are Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros and Old Crow Medicine Show, on what the bands are calling The Railroad Revival Tour.

That’s some good news right there!
Radiohead - “Lotus Flower”
The new Radiohead album, King of Limbs, came out a day early! No, it wasn’t leaked by some internet no-good-doers… it was released, by the band, a day early. Thom Yorke was so excited he started dancing around in a warehouse. If you’d like to purchase your “copy” you can head over to kingoflimbs.com and get the tracks for only $9. You might also want to take a look at the “Newspaper Version” of the album which comes with two 10” records and and all kinds of artwork for only $48. If you do decide to buy the physical album, it will ship on May 9th but you can download the tracks today.
I’ll leave the reviews for later after everybody has had a chance to get a feel for the album but I will say that music lovers everywhere are going to have a busy weekend.

Give this a listen and see what you think.
New tUnE-yArDs!
“Bizness” by tUnE-yArDs
Her voice is ridiculous. I mean, it’s just so good, so ridiculous and distinct and good. I love when a musician you found interesting but not your favorite has reached “the next level” in his or her career and talents. It’s so satisfying.
