These are new songs but not the first performances ever. And I think this may be the best they've been recorded (I couldn't find them elsewhere online).
It was mentioned by a few artists! I had to edit all the statements a bit, but I'll add the embed because it's worth including. Here are some words from Jody Stephens on "Blue Moon" and his favorite recording moments: “Blue Moon” and “Night Time” and “Thank You Friends”... there are some great, extraordinary moments. I’ll pick “Blue Moon” because I don’t think I did anything on it. Just a beautiful song. And again, the songs are always what I appreciated. At the time my perspective of listening to it was different, it was just wacky to the point of "How could anybody appreciate this wackiness?" In retrospect, in putting that behind me and just listening to the record and what it is, it’s a pretty brilliant revelation of where Alex was at the time.
I think you're right! It's been a while since I've seen the episode.
It was the American Skins. I thought it was a nice nod to the UK show. Here's a video thing about the Northern Soul dance scene: http://www.mtv.com/videos/misc/615539/behind-the-scenes-northern-soul.jhtml
It's from the K-Holes video.
I'm sure he's been asked to do a ton of TV scoring and theme songs, so maybe if the right AMC/HBO show or episode of Two And A Half Men came along he could get his Emmy that way.
Cool, thanks. I'll update!
Thanks for the reminder. Changed!

This album is 37:29 long, so it's also the shortest Radiohead LP. For comparison: Pablo Honey - 42:11 The Bends - 48:37 OK Computer - 53:27 Kid A - 49:57 Amnesiac - 43:55 Hail To The Thief - 56:35 In Rainbows - 42:43
Feel free to discuss this as well:
Or they would go back in time to shoot the director and stylist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSzrTLnffQ0
You're right! He also wrote the Band-Aids jingle ("I am stuck on Band-Aids.."). So this is also a Barry Manilow cover.
According to Promo News: "As Adam confirms, it was 'shot, animated, submitted, rejected, reworked, resubmitted, unintentionally leaked, written up in Rolling Stone and appeared all over, was pulled and shelved for over two years before being worked on and approved finally by Modest Mouse. It was a pretty crazy ride but we’re soooooo proud of this film.'"
I never saw 500 Days of Summer. It's good?
I just replaced the stream with a higher quality version, so it should sound close to the download now.
Their "Mother" and "Gin And Juice" commentary are some of my favorites. "Liar" too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBjtghitGOM. I'll add in suggestions!
The early 2010 release date (Jan 26) made it easy to overlook, unfortunately. Great album though.
Even though I listened to Snoop Dogg and Dre and Nirvana growing up, the only warning about music I got from my mom was about Beck's "Loser," which she said was "not a very nice way to think of yourself."
I don't think it's likely either, but it came from a somewhat reliable source so I decided to put it in that column.
The fake poster has both Jeff Mangum and The Talking Heads, so I think it's more a "dream line-up" than "line-up to fool blogs."
It turned out Beck lied about Muse's management calling him. From NME (http://www.nme.com/news/nme/47689): "After raving about Muse for four minutes, Glenn made a joke about their representatives emailing him to stop," Balfe said. "While it is entirely possible that Muse does not like having Glenn as a fan, he was making a joke and their representatives never reached out to him." ... "Despite Beck suggesting on several occasions that he believes Muse share his strong libertarian views on western power, the band's spokesperson said they would be making no comment about the issue. "
Andrew Garcia looks even more like Strummer than Franco. Or is it just the hair? http://img.poptower.com/pic-28519/andrew-garfield.jpg
Yeah, I said both of those things in the post.
I didn't watch all of the Matt Lauer interview with Bush, so I'm curious, does he fish for apologies from him in the same way?
This link http://stereogum.com/news/ puts the posts in reverse chronological order, blog format style. Makes it easier to see the 19 posts that have gone up since this one.
Obviously he's still angry about "Range Life" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VVj1zqbWpU#t=03m38s
Also surprising: No M.I.A.
I fixed the title. For Tokyo Police Club it was "Feat. Luke LaLonde," Warp Records has the reverse. Says Warp: "'First Date Kid' is the new track from Born Ruffians off the "Plinky Plonk EP". The track is a collaboration between Born Ruffians' Luke LaLonde and Tokyo Police Club's David Monks.The EP is available now on tour, and by digital download on November 15th 2010."
I misread the string of tweets... fixed! Thanks!
I feel like the song's lyrics can't be a random string of bullshit to truly be "sad."
Yeah, 24Bit is great. Updated the credit.
