Radiohead
Filed under Entertainment, Music, Video.
According to a post from guitarist Ed O’Brien on Radiohead’s Dead Air Space blog today, the band is close to finishing their new album. Producer and recording engineer Nigel Godrich posted a minute mash of their new songs to give us a teaser.
From what I hear there are no electronic sounds on it, I really regret that, cause I loved Radiohead’s electronic phase with the Kid A album and lead singer Thom Yorke’s solo project. Nonetheless I’m very excited, cause Radiohead always delivers.
Let’s end this post with a video of my favorite song from the Kid A album, Idioteque performed live after the jump.

The Sopranos
Filed under Entertainment, Video.
It’s a sad time for television right now. One of the best TV series of the past decade ended last sunday, after 6 seasons and 86 episodes. The Sopranos was the best thing that ever happened to television, and to me, I can’t get over it..
There has been a lot of controversy in the blogosphere and on the IMDb forums about the finale but I won’t get into details. Without any spoilers, I do have to say it ended the way I wanted, very fulfilling.
What now? There’s a new show starting on HBO, called John from Cincinnati. I got to see the pilot on the HBO site for free, it’s already taken down, but I wasn’t really into it. With Six Feet Under gone too, I really hope there’s another big HBO series coming up.
What else are we gonna watch?
Unkle - War Stories
Filed under Entertainment, Music, Video.
After 3 years of musical silence James Lavelle and Richard File, aka Unkle, finally released their follow-up to the highly underrated Never Never Land. War Stories’ guest vocalists include Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), Ian Astbury (The Cult), 3D (Massive Attack), The Duke Spirit, Autolux and Gavin Clark (Clayhill).
After listening to the album, I would call this the band that hardly evolves or tries to keep their original sound throughout the years. People say their songs are repetitive, but actually I think they have a way of setting the mood like no other.
Check the video for the new single “Burn My Shadow” after the jump and one of my favorites “Rabbit in Your Headlights” featuring Radiohead’s Thom Yorke.
Social Media Websites in Illustrated Form
Filed under Art, Entertainment, Humor, Technology, World & Business.
Social news/bookmarking sites these days are controlling what gets popular on the internet, with their users that is. Once a story gets popular on one community driven site, it’ll easily get picked up by its competitors and the blogosphere. Therefore these sites play an important role in discovering new trends beyond the internet and making people aware of things we wouldn’t normally read about.
I personally was a longtime fan, but now I’m distancing myself a bit of digg.com, cause the community has gotten too large after a lot of media attention and the youngsters keep ‘digging’ the lightweight stories. A perfect example is the Paris Hilton jailtime thing going on right now.
So now I’m in search for an alternative with more serious articles.
Anyway, check these very funny and oh-so-true sketches of some social bookmarking sites.
