New Thom Yorke Cover

This song is gorgeous. Originally by Mark Mulcahy, cover by Thom Yorke of Radiohead. As an interesting note for Yorke fans, his brother Andy sings vocals with him on this track. It's part of a tribute album dedicated to Mulcahy, with covers by various artists. More info over at stereogum.

Remix 9: Thom Yorke

With the return of my now weekly (I promise) remix post, I present a remix from Thom Yorke's album, The Eraser. This electronic album was definitely hard to listen to at times, but I think it held some of the most overlooked gems of 2006. Recently a friend of mine picked up a Japanese version of an album called The Eraser Rmxs, which is comprised completely of remixes that are pretty hard to find otherwise. Here's a remix of "The Clock" done by Surgeon. It's a hypnotic song that makes Thom Yorke's vocals even creepier. If that's possible.

Song o' the Week #4

The real song of the week for me was "Summertime Clothes" off Animal Collective's upcoming LP Merriweather Post Pavilion, but even if I attempted to upload it I'm sure Web Sheriff would find a way to take it down. So, alas, a different track must be selected.

Thom Yorke's debut album The Eraser was released in '06 to mixed reviews, which is reasonable considering how parts of the album sound like decent Kid A rejects. Closely related to the familiar Radiohead sound, Yorke's solo effort is reminiscent of past material, just a little more electronic. The standout track is "Black Swan" which sounds like it could have a been on In Rainbows, with it's digital sounding drum beat and minimalistic guitar. The addition of great lyrics make this song a great little addition to the Radiohead fan's music library. And I chose that picture of Thom because I wonder what happened to make him look so miserable.
