February 14, 201115 yr I'd like to thank both of you for making me feel 100 years old. Bad Religion IS still a band and they are still REALLY good.
February 14, 201115 yr And...they're back. Radiohead have just announced their eighth full-length record, The King of Limbs. Billed as the world's first "Newspaper Album," an extravagantly packaged version of the record will be issued on May 9; however, the music itself will effectively be issued on Saturday, February 19 when digital downloads become available to those who made pre-orders. So Radiohead have set aside the "pay what you want" patronage model that dominated the conversation surrounding the In Rainbows release, yet have retained that album's more important business aspects: Packaging their music as a high-end collectable and controlling and monetizing its leak, which has the effect of creating what these days is a rare, worldwide, collective listening experience. Once again, we all know exactly when we're first able to hear a new Radiohead record and therefore will largely all experience it together, something almost completely lost in today's pop music landscape. This in effect is also what Kanye West did so successfully with his G.O.O.D. Friday project. The King of Limbs will be released by TBD Records in North America, XL in the UK, and Hostess Entertainment in Asia. Full information is quoted below, and pre-orders are currently being accepted at Thekingoflimbs.com. At present there is no track information. Link

February 14, 201115 yr QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Feb 14, 2011 -> 12:34 PM) Please tell me Bad Religion is not opening for Rise Against. Times have changed, my friend. The show's listed as "Rise Against with Bad Religion".
February 14, 201115 yr Awesome news about Radiohead. Off the top of my head I don't know that there was any release that I was looking forward to in 2011.
February 15, 201115 yr Drive-by Truckers (a band I first heard about from previous versions of this thread) are on Jimmy Fallon tonight (2/15).
February 15, 201115 yr Not a single mention of Arcade Fire winning the Album of the Year Grammy? I didn't watch but looked ahead (on the west coast) and saw they won. SHOCKING choice... And the masses were NOT happy haha http://whoisarcadefire.tumblr.com/

February 16, 201115 yr QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jan 19, 2011 -> 12:28 PM) Foo Tease Yes, I'm stoked. Sounds like the boys are getting back to a little 'harder' sound, I can't wait. More teasers on their "FM Radio" website http://foofighters.fm/101.5 91.0 has All My Life live. There's others, too, and they even announced a secret show through it.
February 16, 201115 yr This dude will be on Fallon tonight. Take heed top 40 rap artists lovers. **couch** Eminem and Jay Z **cough** This is what I'm talking about.
February 17, 201115 yr QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Feb 15, 2011 -> 03:27 PM) Drive-by Truckers (a band I first heard about from previous versions of this thread) are on Jimmy Fallon tonight (2/15). They played a free concert in downtown Knoxville last summer, so of course my buddies and I went. They were pretty good. I'm not a huge fan or anything, but I've liked their music ever since I DJ'd for the campus radio station here. Just got a song of theirs for free on AmazonMP3 the other day. Not sure if it's still free, but it's called "Everybody Needs Love." Pretty solid.

Take heed top 40 rap artists lovers. **couch** Eminem and Jay Z **cough** This is what I'm talking about. I've known about Tyler & the rest of OFWGKTA for a few months now. Their performance on Fallon was one of the dopest I've seen on a late night show. With that being said, these kids still have a bit to go. It's obvious all of them have talent, but as much as us "top 40 rap lovers" must take heed. These kids aren't even in the discussion for being in the same league as a Jay or Em. QUOTE (TomPickle @ Feb 18, 2011 -> 03:06 PM) The new Radiohead album is pretty good. This. These guys simply don't disappoint.
February 19, 201115 yr QUOTE (Felix @ Feb 18, 2011 -> 06:27 PM) Anyone ever listen to the Residents? I just like the claymation thing for Constantinople.

Even if you are just a backpacker at heart. QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 18, 2011 -> 07:32 PM) Tyler the creator just seems like a less polished Scarface. Hmm, never thought of it that way.

Agreed. Oh and check out this verse from Tyler back from his first album. Sounds like he's reading my mind. I know you f***in' feel me, I want to f***in' kill me But times I'm so serious you think I'm silly I'm doin' Big Style Willy couldn't touch 11-7 What's religion n****? I am Legend I roll with skaters and musicians with an intuition I created O.F. cause I feel we're more talented Than 40 year old rappers talkin' 'bout Gucci When they have kids they haven't seen in years, impressin' their peers With the same problem, the only way to solve them Is to go to Father's Day convention with a gold revolver
February 23, 201115 yr For anyone into their House / Dance Music, this site is very good for keeping up with that. Just listening to the new Laidback Luke Essential Mix currently; http://djdavidbitton.com/blog.php
