I remember Nine Inch Nails doing something like this about a year ago, and it was really cool. Radiohead is offering four separate instrument tracks, or “stems” (bass, drum, guitar, string, voice), along with their “Nude” single for sale via iTunes for about $6. The challenge? Remix the tracks and upload them for consideration, judgment […]

Two of my favorite electronic bands (and yours?), Daft Punk and Hot Chip, are featured in the new iPhone commercial. Here’s to hoping “Aerodynamic” becomes the new “1234” …

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 […]

My preferred candidate officially throws his hat in the ring.

So last week Pitchfork announced Pitchfork.tv which actually sounds pretty cool. They tout it as what Music TV should be and I can’t argue. Me thinks it a pretty good idea.

Blues guitar virtuoso Jeff Healey succumbed to cancer on Sunday at 41 - the same disease that took his vision, that he’s been fighting all his life. His own website doesn’t even have a notice of his passing yet.
He was both gifted and unique for his self-taught, stand-up lap style of playing. I saw him […]

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.
ONE

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 […]

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 […]
