We already know you’re having a party for Halloween. We know you’ve covered your home in spider webs, candles, blacklight-reactant posters and ghouley, ghosty things from Rite Aid.

In an interview Monday, singer-songwriter Ryan Adams compared the latest Oasis release, Dig Out Your Soul, to Radiohead’s most experimental album, Kid A, saying the new Oasis material represents a new brand of music experimentation for the Manchester five-piece. If so, it’s about four albums late, but I’m definitely curious ... read more |

Rather than allowing download sites to hand out their songs to the masses, they’re doing it with real, live street musicians. It’s like a free Internet song giveaway, but cooler because the songs are performed live, and by random hobos. If free downloads became such a successful trend, I definitely hope this does, too ... read more |

Radiohead made their first Seattle area concert appearance in half a decade this past Wednesday night at Auburn’s White River Amphitheatre. Radiohead clearly came to play, and did just that with a spectacular two hour set that went heavy on the band’s latest album In Rainbows, but also drew from their catalog ... read more |

I was completely bewildered when, during the 3/4-set arrival of “Plush,” a nearby group of sorority chicks suddenly got all antsy, huddling together in a secret conversation until one of them finally turned to the people next to them and said, “Oh my god, what’s this song called?" ... read more |

In case you’re Tom Hanks (3) in the Saturday Night Live Mr. Short Term Memory sketches or just new to the magic of Cinema Blend Music, I’ll give you a little run down of how this article works. I was at Lollapalooza all weekend. You probably weren’t. Therefore, since I’m an affable sort of guy, I’ll fill you in about all the goings on ... read more |

If you’ve had your fill of musical vandalism and want to release some aggression, the “Not-So-Believable Punk Rock” station will help you out – especially if you’re pissed off about your parents and you don’t wanna talk about it, you don’t wanna talk about it, you don’t wanna talk about it, x10 for each of 15 choruses ... read more |

If you caught a glimpse of Prince covering Radiohead’s “Creep” at last month’s Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival either live or in the following days over the internet, consider yourself lucky. I didn’t – and apparently, neither did Radiohead ... read more |

The majority of Sonic Youth fans find the unusual pairing a bit ironic, but mostly rather tragic. This, despite the fact that those who helped choose the songs are very much among the anti-corporation dogma, including Beck, Eddie Vedder and Radiohead. The same cannot be said for Portia di Rossi. ... read more |

Liars, the opening act, penned a lengthy diatribe on the green-thinking ways Radiohead follows while on tour. Among the measures taken are water tour flasks, which everyone uses rather than disposable cups; an entire fleet of tour buses and trucks that run on biofuel; and the banning of air freight ... read more |

Traffic is backed up outside the Verizon Wireless center so we don’t arrive until 8:30. There’s no music being emitted from the stage area so we haven’t missed the optimal performance, the main attraction, the band named after that Talking Heads song, Radiohead. Some woman feels me up thoroughly before allowing me to enter ... read more |

No other phenomenon can explain Oasis tribute bands (they seem just as argumentative as the originals), idol worship for Ewan McGregor, the simultaneously vitalizing and devastating power of Vanity Faire, and 35 nearly identical versions of the quote, “It was like … something was happening … but no one quite knew what it WAS” ... read more |
