Seven Ways to Listen to the New Radiohead Album

1. Lying on the roof of the abandoned building where you once went to elementary school

2. Staring at a broken bicycle

3. Drinking gin in an Ikea parking lot at 6 am

4. Naked in the front of the mirror crying softly

5. Painting your bathroom black

6. Combing the hair of a child that isn’t yours

7. Baking a cake that you’re just going to throw away

The band commissioned a 30 feet (9.1 m) porcine balloon (known as Algie), and photography began on 2 December, with a trained marksman ready to fire if the balloon escaped.

Next Girl by The Black Keys

Just discovered that chorus to Gamma Ray’s “To The Metal” rips off Mercyful Fate’s “Into The Coven” something fierce. Still love the Anvil!-esque video though.

Peep the chorus to “Into The Coven” at 1:23 here.

Skip to 4:21 – Kim Thayil still has it.

I recently learned (via AV Club) that there’s an 65-minute bootleg of nothing but KISS guitarist Paul Stanely’s stage banter called “People, Let Me Get This Off My Chest.”

Mastodon used to play this at their concerts before they went on stage. It was like Chinese water torture.

FUNKY. Can’t wait for this album to come out.

This song has been stuck in my head all day. Be careful; it’ll get you too.

“Mountain Song,” by Jane’s Addiction, features one of the most copied riffs in rock music.

Many people cite the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Readymade” as ripping off the Mountain Song riff
