Redbull & Adderall: Your Afternoon Pick-Me-Up
In a preview to the photos I’m going to be posting later of Duran Duran from last week’s Central Park’s Summerstage show, above is the band performing The Normal’s “Warm Leatherette.”
GorillaVsBear posted a video of Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood of Radiohead covering Portishead’s “The Rip.” That’s some good ‘head.
And in more Radiohead goodness, YouAinNoPicasso has a fantastic new Radiohead song up which they played on the 6th in Ireland! I’m really loving the fact that the band is kinda sounding more like their old self.
I can’t believe that Miss ModernAge was at the MisShapes.com launch party and I didn’t see her ass. Check out her site for photos and celebrity sightings… WHICH I ALSO MISSED! WTF. Or wait, actually, I did see some of them. And Gideon Yago was my date, does that count? Oh, and I fell and twisted my ankle and in the process flashed everyone? Good times.
So, Stereogum accidently answered the question that I’ve been meaning to ask: How is Julian Casablancas making money these days? By collaborating with Santogold and Pharrell on a song for Converse. Duh.
The Violent Femmes did a cover of “Crazy” by Gnarls Barkley that’s pretty delightful. I imagine that “Hey Ya!” is up for the next cover?
Meanwhile in the land of covers (I’m cover crazy today), SoMuchSilence posted Elbow’s cover of Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black.” With all the covers I’m posting today, it’s like indie American Idol or some shit.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOGM! ShortAndSweetNYC totally just gave me a hard-on. Check this shit out: “The ARChive is a not-for-profit archive, library, and research center for music with a vinyl collection more than 1.5 million records deep. This sale spans the world of music, literally, and they even acquired hit radio station Z-100’s LP collection when they moved, so expect lot’s of 80s albums.” Click the site link for DETAILS.
MusicIsArt posted info for this year’s After the Jump Fest featuring Pela!
It’s all Radiohead and all covers all day here. I’m not kidding. I Guess I’m Floating posted a video of “Big Ideas (Nude)” that’s some sort of remix. Man, this song is so fucking old, but so fucking good.
Lastly, this is kinda incredibly fucked up of the dude… Hayley Williams from Paramore’s Ex-Step father has been auctioning off her personal items on eBay. Chicka posted his phone number. LOL.
