Despite headliners U2 having to cancel their appearance, Glastonbury, one of the biggest and greatest music festivals, still seems to have been wholly successful this past weekend (even the English weather cooperated). There were many surprises at the 40th Glastonbury, including Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood performing “Karma Police”; Shakira covering The xx’s “Islands”; Stevie Wonder paying a tribute to Michael Jackson, and many more. Check out the videos. More

Thom Yorke Publishes Election Day Playlist

“Avert Your Cynical Eyes.”

May 06, 2010

Today is election day in the U.K. and Radiohead band leader Thom Yorke weighed in (via the Dead Air Space Blog) on the proceedings, not with a pointed rant (That was saved for the recent oil spill where Yorke said “This is not just a accident. This is a terrible crime.”), but with a playlist. Titled Out of Office Reply, the list was accompanied with the warning, “Avert your cynical eyes.” More

Coachella 2010 Day Three Report – Pavement, Thom Yorke, Gorillaz, and more

Plus: Phoenix, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Deerhunter, Florence and the Machine, and others

Apr 20, 2010

Day three of Coachella 2010 more than made up for a lackluster day two, with set after set of strong artists and ending with perhaps the three best performances of the whole festival, all in a row: Pavement, Thom Yorke, and Gorillaz. It would have been nice if the wealth of great artists had been spread out a little bit more over the three days, but then again, Sunday wouldn’t have been so strong if they had scheduled it that way. Here’s what I saw on the last day of Coachella: Local Natives, Owen Pallett, Mayer Hawthorne, Deerhunter, Florence and the Machine, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jonsi, Spoon, Phoenix, Pavement, Thom Yorke, and Gorillaz.

Sep 29, 2009

Lending credence to the belief that all cool people know each other, Yorke has gathered friends—including Red Hot Chili Pepper’s Flea and longtime cohort Nigel Godrich—for a two-night stint at Los Angeles’ Orpheum Theatre.

Twilight: New Moon Soundtrack Listing Confirmed

Features Thom Yorke, Grizzly Bear, The Killers, St. Vincent, Bon Iver and Lykke Li

Sep 21, 2009

The official soundtrack for 2008’s Twilight wasn’t much to sniff about (kind of like the movie). Only a few scant cuts from blood letters Paramore and Linkin Park littered the tracklisting. Conversely, the marketing blitz for Twilight sequel New Moon has been nothing short of buzz-worthy and downright confusing. The final tracklisting was announced today on Myspace and writer Stephanie Meyer’s website and it’s just as ripe for hipsterdom’s cognitive dissonance as we surmised. More

Thom Yorke has never had an issue with conversation. Whether at the center of the world’s greatest rock band—as he has been for nearly 30 years—or as a solo artist, he has built a career on engaging his fans through the big ideas that have defined our generation. More

Anything Jonny Greenwood can do, Thom Yorke can at least have a go at. Greenwood branched into the world of movies over a decade ago, usually as Paul Thomas Anderson’s in-house composer. More

The final day of my maiden Coachella voyage I learned an important lesson: after two packed days, less is more. While I danced to Phoenix, got slanted and enchanted with Pavement, caught Gorillaz‘s “animated” set, and enjoyed bits of performances by Owen Pallet and Deerhunter, it was two frontmen on break from their high profile bands that truly caught my attention: Jónsi and Thom Yorke.
