Fans of falsetto-laden cock-rock and spindly Englishmen in catsuits have been shit outta luck since the Darkness broke up in 2006, amid out-of-control tension and lead singer/guitarist Justin Hawkins' heading off to rehab. Then a performance at last year's Download Festival heralded the reformation ... More >>
In an effort to stanch the flow of stale complaining about its "elitism" invite its readership into the magical world of music-publication listmaking, the online-tastemaker behemoth Pitchfork is putting together The Pitchfork List, which purports to count down its readers' favorite albums released b ...

Radiohead w/ Caribou Prudential Center Friday, June 1 Better than: Spazzing out (ahem, dancing) in a warehouse all by your lonesome. Any inclination of Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke being, as he put it, "sick as a dog" was not obvious until the band screwed up "Idioteque" and Yorke walked off wit ... More >>

A modern spin to a timeless story of heartbreak
Rosie GrayA protester's sign at Zuccotti yesterday: "Where is Radiohead?" There was a lot of confusion down at Zuccotti Park yesterday, where protesters -- and the media, and about a zillion music fans -- thought that Radiohead was going to come and perform around 4 p.m. They didn't, despite ...

Radiohead Roseland Ballroom Thursday, September 29 Better than: Groceries for the next six weeks. When Radiohead took the stage at 10:07 p.m. on Thursday night, people were talking. When the amusingly Cobain-coiffed frontman Thom Yorke acknowledged the sold-out crowd of 3,500 with a one-word salut ... More >>
Last May the season finale of Saturday Night Live was prefaced by Lady Gaga fans setting up a mini-campsite in the middle of Rockefeller Center so they could get the chance to see their heroine perform on the show. Not to be outdone by silly fans of pop music, a bunch of Radiohead fans have also sta ... More >>
Out standing in their field.

This morning Radiohead premiered "Staircase," a moody, somewhat noodly track with a bouncing bassline and drones buzzing past each other. The performance of "Staircase" was recorded during the filming of Radiohead's forthcoming From The Basement episode, which premieres July 1 on the BBC; Ra ... More >>
Last week we spent a lot of time searching for solid ground in a world where Arcade Fire win Grammys and Odd Future take over Fallon. This week Tyler got his shoe back, Thom danced, and we all moved on.
So maybe you heard that Radiohead put out a new album, The King of Limbs, on Friday, one day earlier than planned, a gift that triggered a "live-Tweeting my first listen" torrent of unprecedented volume and ferocity, a glut of Internet-borne insta-opinions that seemed at odds with the band's reput ...

Well, things move fast on the internet, don't they? It was only earlier this week that Radiohead announced they had a new album finished and ready to go; this time it was gonna cost money, and be available tomorrow, Saturday, February 19th. Except they got annoyed about Odd Future stealing al ... More >>

The man behind your favorites
Kevin WestenbergMore than happy to outsource the drums for this oneAlmost exactly a decade ago, the purring electronics of Kid A threatened to marginalize real-life Radiohead drummer Phil Selway's role in the band he'd initially co-founded in name of alt-rock--the sort of alienated-by-technol ...

This years Coachella headliners wont take your indie-snob guff
Lot of New York bands representing: LCD Soundsystem, Vampire Weekend, Grizzly Bear, Yeasayer, Lucero, Sleigh Bells, Dirty Projectors, De La Soul, Julian Casablancas, Matt & Kim, Gil Scott-Heron, etc. Pretty fucking good show. Some other big ones--Public Image Limited, Grace Jones, Gorillaz, P ... More >>
Massachusetts metalheads Cave In have had quite a varied career, vacillating from screamy hardcore to what Spin once dubbed "emo-metal Radiohead" (2000's Jupiter is indeed pretty righteous to not-quite-ascendant major-label hopefuls to... whatever they are now. They'll be it, whatever it is, ... More >>
--Entertainingly, Bob Dylan was apparently put into the back seat of a police cruiser in Long Branch, New Jersey last month while in town touring with Willie Nelson and John Mellancamp. The artist had been wandering around Long Branch wearing sweatpants, two raincoats, and a hood over his hea ... More >>
--A new Radiohead track was mysteriously posted at the fan site Atease yesterday. "These Are My Twisted Words" is a two-minute number that may just well be the sing-along anthem of the summer. Just kidding. It's an eerie, echoey five-and-a-half minutes of noise and Thom Yorke's vocals don't e ... More >>
'If they're waiting for the next Thriller to come along and save everything, they're really, really misguided. I hope they've figured it out by now.'
