Double Douche Alert Alert

Man, Stereogum sure does hate the way Rolling Stone does things. I guess you can’t blame them. Is Rolling Stone to Stereogum as Pitchfork is to RTP?
Either way, I digress. Check out this piece where Billy Corgan dares to question Radiohead’s musical integrity. He questions Amy Winehouse in the same breath, which I could have […]

I wonder if Mr. Jones hates him too

After getting a ton of grief from my blog-mates as a result of my recent email inquiry regarding the new Counting Crows album, Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings, and whether or not any of them could hook a brother (me) up, I started wondering if I was alone in what I now realize is an […]

More handheld hotness and synthesizing nerdery

This is, in my opinion, the coolest one we’ve seen so far: a Korg synth on a Nintendo DS…

Weekend Wrap-Up: St. Vincent, Angels & Airwaves, Glen & Marketa

Lots happened over the weekend, but keeping in line with RTP’s historic eye toward environmental awareness, I’ve condensed three bits of news into one post, saving at least a few eTrees.

Saturday night Quirken, Rev Dave and I all saw St. Vincent at Schuba’s. Rev was at the early show and Quirken and I were […]

Douche Alert: Someone needs to kick Kanye’s ass

And I think it should be Vince Gill:

Seriously, though, Kanye West might be the perfect embodiment of everything that is wrong with the world today. His display during last night’s Grammys made me fucking sick. Someone seriously needs to smack those retarded white sunglasses off his big cocky head and convince him that god doesn’t […]

I have these bell-bottoms I used to wear in like 1996 that I loved…

Is anyone else as excited about this as I am?

Rockommercial: Band of Horses Drive Ford Edge


New music to bone to

That’s right. It’s official. Portishead’s long awaited follow up to 1997’s self-titled and oft-boned to release will hit the musicsphere on April 14th care of Island Records. And I’m so excited I just might send out valentines a full three weeks early.
A secret prize for the first RTPer to “find” this puppy ahead of its […]

Another Radiohead Webcast

Listen up! Another Radiohead webcast has been announced. This one’s an in-store performance at London’s Rough Trade record store, and it starts just about two hours from now (3pm Eastern/2pm Central/Noon Pacific/etc.).
Go to Radiohead.tv to watch, and get ready to be entertained radioheadweb-style. I’m personally excited to watch one of these live, as opposed to […]

Fill in the Blank: Bono, Chris Martin, __________

The last person I would expect to fill that blank is Arcade Fire’s Win Butler. Via the Fork, Butler took to his blog recently to voice his choice re: the two lefty front-runners in this year’s poli-race:
I am watching Hillary Clinton in her victory speech in new Hampshire…they just threw a bunch of college kids […]
