2 more unreleased Radiohead recordings from the...
Two more (yes, there seems to be a spate of ‘em now) previously unreleased tracks by Radiohead from the late 80s/early 90s have surfaced. Low quality demo tape recordings of ‘Fat Girl’ and ‘Fragile Friend’ are up, and both have quite a pop alternative feel to them, quite reminiscent of some of their earlier work. Nonetheless, at a certain level it feels just about...

Happy Birthday David Bowie
It’s David Bowie’s birthday today.
That should give The Flaming Lips and Neon Indian the answer to their question.
Happy Birthday! May you have always have your oddities filled with stardust as you ziggy beyond Mars in space.
Just try keeping away from spiders, will ya!

'In Your Nature' - Zola Jesus remixed by David...
There isn’t much one could do when David Lynch offers to do a remix of your track. Of course, you CAN’T SAY NO! And that wouldn’t be out of trying to be polite at all either.
‘In Your Nature’, from Zola Jesus’ ‘Conatus’ has been mixed by David Lynch. Not entirely surprisingly, the result is a very carefully weighed down, heavy on the mind experience...

Munky's New Project - Fear And The Nervous System
James ‘Munky’ Shaffer and his solo project Fear And The Nervous System.
Sounds like Korn, but then not anything like Korn either. You can listen to the single ‘Choking Victim’ here.
(I’m still wondering if human innards are as hairy and scaly as the guy above)

Runway Music - Thom Yorke style
Thom Yorke - Stuck Together by ObscureSound
Two relatively unknown tracks have surfaced which trace their origins back to sometime last year when Thom Yorke composed runway music for a clothing label.

Born to Lose - Sleigh Bells
The first single from Sleigh Bells’ sophomore album ‘Reign of Terror’.
Alexis Krauss’ layered vocals add the missing haunt needed for Derek Miller’s guitar noise to push you over the edge. The track drums its way into your head, drilling in with its chaos to push out whatever noise might be inside that cavity. Contrary to what the lyrics sound to be on the surface...

The Weeknd - Echoes of Silence
For the start of a brand new year on a weekend asks for the party to go on longer.
‘Echoes of Silence’, the highly anticipated third album by The Weeknd is up and streaming for a free listen. And it makes good sense to give it a listen as the new year weekend slips past. Smooth grained R&B vocals cruise on mid tempo thumps, leaving you in a space that isn’t exactly...
