My name is Thom I’ve written some of the most important CD albums of the past 100 years become a global visionary environmental leader and an internet marketing and music industry guru [via In_Rainbows] But it’s time for...
We recently found ourselves arguing about the importance of band names. Our point was that a great band name can never be undervauled or carelessly chosen. And while the difference between a good one and a bad one is entirely subjective, we can all agree that no one would be rushing out to see Atoms For Peace if wasn’t what Thom Yorke was calling his Flea-studded backing band. The Joy...
I arrived at the venue around about 8:30 with a couple of bros. Electronic three piece Nedry took to the stage, armed with two laptops/guitars, a couple of synthesizers and an asian woman.

We then saw that she was touring with some MOKB-beloved bands along with playing SXSW for some of our favorite...
Michael Zapruder defies pigeon-holing. This San Francisco singer-songwriter can emulate Nick Drake in his Bryter Layter phase in Ads for Feelings, do a convincing Thom Yorke whine and channel the lyricism of Leonard Cohen (White Raven Sails). Dragon Chinese Cocktail Horoscope is a folk record when you strip away all the other layers - Zapruder does it him self on >Harbor Saints. All his songs...
Radiohead- “Amnesiac” Recorded mostly during the same sessions for “Kid A”, Radiohead described these two albums, released in 2000 and 2001, as “twins separated at birth”. Considering that “Kid A” is on fairly good terms with bleakness, it shouldn’t be taken lightly that “Amnesiac” is the creepy, fucked up sibling...
