Radiohead strikes again...

Seems like just a year ago, (January 2011), Radiohead was in LA doing some recording. And then...nothing. Until this morning that is, when upon waking to shake off the Grammy hangover, one was greeted with frothing on the internets.

"The King Of Limbs" will be available Saturday 19th Feb as a download, and the deluxe vinyl version will follow in May. Download is 320K MP3 or WAV file, Deluxe is 2 clear 10" vinyl, cd, artwork & choice of download file, and it's billed as 'perhaps the first Newspaper Album'. Hmmm, we shall see...

Rough But Right...Sebadoh live

Sebadoh kicked off their tour last night in Santa Barbara at the Velvet Jones, throwing down a set the focused mostly on 'Bakesale' & 'Harmacy'.

Lou Barlow & Jason Loewenstein were in good form, trading instruments for each others songs, fighting a sometimes ragged mix while falling back on the goodwill of an eager audience.

Barlow seemed winded after a sparkling take on 'Ocean', noting "That song sure had a lot of words..."

With Bob sitting in on drums, (on loan from The Fiery Furnaces), the set alternated between cruise control and willing themselves forward. At sets end they were called back for a well-earned encore, admitted that they had only learned 30 songs for the tour, but managed to find a few more.

All in all, a fun start to a tour that will surely tighten up as the dates progress. Looking forward to a progress check in LA at the end of the month.
