A story about "In Rainbows"

by Radiohead

Since the unexpected & unconventional release of Radiohead’s In Rainbows, (which is, in my not-so-humble opinion, their best album to date) the blogosphere buzz on music industry news, rumors, and reviews has grown exponentially. The most recent hype you’ll undoubtedly encounter while cruising through music & tech blogs alike, is the alleged inaccuracy of the data used by comScore to support a claim: the “name your price” guerrilla marketing technique used by Radiohead for the October 10th release of In Rainbows, was unsuccessful. Apparently all that Radiohead achieved was some serious, industry-wide panic.
Read Radiohead’s argument: comScore’s data is inherently accurate.

Ho hum. I am so sick of hearing about Radiohead. Well, at least I was-~~until today. While conducting top secret Orphan research on Last.fm, I came across the music networking site’s overall (we’re talking SITE-WIDE) charts section~~-I was completely bowled over by the data it displayed.
...but all hats off to Radiohead.(read more)

Why I recommend "Electroma"

Electroma

by Daft Punk

Dude, daft punk seriously pisses me off. I mean, just look at the photo! Will someone please tell me what the hell this is about? They swear like it’s ok to be this cool. You know that song from Grease 2 that Michelle Pfiefer sings, about how she wants a to date a bad ass-I think it’s called “cool rider”, right—ok well Electroma ascribes a whole new meaning to the letters she sings in the chorus (C-O-O-L R-I-D-E-R). Not to mention that it’s ALSO the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Ever. In fact, Daft Punk should really consider re-writing the book called “How To Be Cool”-I’d totally buy it.

Some highlights of the film are as follows:

1. THE SOUNDTRACK. It’s amazing. And get this: Daft Punk isn’t even on it. And seriously, these guys actually have really good taste in music.

Curtis Mayfield – ‘Billy Jack’
A Sei Voci Ensemble – ‘Miserere’
Todd Rundgren – ‘International Feel’
Brian Eno – ‘In Dark Trees’
Linda Perhacs – ‘If You Were My Man’
Jackson C. Frank – ‘Dialogue’
Sebastian Tellier – ‘Universe’
Haydn – ‘String Quartet in E Flat Major Op. 64, No. 6’
Chopin – ‘No. 4 in E Minor [24 Preludes, Op.28]’

2. THE BURNING MAN SCENE, which you really just need to see for yourself. http://www.youtube.com/v/R_93XGd5nFo
