Here are a few pics from tonight’s Radiohead concert. I’ll add a link to the full gallery later.

Here’s a track from UNKLE’s upcoming album, End Titles…Stories for Film. It’s a re-working of instrumental track “Chemistry” from their previous album, and now features Josh Homme of Queens Of The Stone Age on vocals.

Thanks to Pitchfork for the embed.

I’ve been listening to some great new records lately. Here is some information about a few of them:

Grand Archives - The Grand Archives (2008) (US) (myspace)

Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid (2008) (UK) (myspace)

The Gutter Twins - Saturnalia (2008) (US) (myspace)

Portishead - Third (2008) (UK) (myspace)

The Envy Corps - The Envy Corps (2008) (US) (myspace)

Radiohead is having a contest to remix the song “Nude” from In Rainbows and are posting the top 10 remixes here.

My friend Vicente and I went to check out Irish singer-songwriter Fionn Regan. It was a great show, except for the annoying girl who kept asking me to move over, but who was talking continuously through each song.

Here are some pics and videos from the John Vanderslice concert from a couple of weeks ago.

There is too much music and not enough hours in the day.

Currently I am trying to ingest as much John Vanderslice as possible (I have no idea how I acquired Pixel Revolt, but thank God for shuffle mode). Almost daily I listen to Joseph Arthur, Nada Surf and Sufjan Stevens (check out this cool non-Sufjan-like track that he did for The Believer).

I’m fairly disappointed with Interpol’s latest [edit: I am now a fan - it was a grower!] but am surprised to be enjoying the new White Stripes album. Finally, Modeselektor’s new album “Happy Birthday” is really good and features a cool callaboration with Thom Yorke.

Concert Buddy and I went to see Sondre Lerche at Toronto’s MOD Club on Friday, April 2. I’d seen him before while he was supporting the album Phantom Punch.

It was packed and a ton of fun! He’s a great performer and really knows how to keep a crowd entertained (I mean with things other than his music). Below are a couple of video clips that I took from the show.

Here are my current picks:

Sean Lennon - “Friendly Fire” (2006) (US)

Tipper - “Relish the Trough” (2006) (UK)

Rhett Miller - “The Instigator” (2002) (US)
