New Radiohead Album!
That’s right, my little RSS feed from Pitchfork shocked the pants off of me this morning when I saw that there is a new Radiohead album out this Saturday! As in February 20, 2011.
They are doing sort of the same thing as they did with In Rainbows but this time the mp3 download has a set price of $9. Still very fair. The super deluxe physical album will come out later this spring, in May.
The album is called The King of Limbs and I know nothing about it. I’m just super excited! Here’s the album art.

Cool Little Song
Penny Sparkle by Blonde Redhead
Blonde Redhead just released their new album, Penny Sparkle, today! Enter the code PICKDEAL when you check out to get the mp3 version for just $5. Sweet.
I haven’t even listened to it yet, but I’m pretty excited. Good stuff!
Marina and the Diamonds – Shampain
Marina has a new video out. For site visitors who know me, Marina’s music may seem a bit off the spectrum of what I usually listen to. Well, you’re right, but look at her, she’s smoking hot! Also, she writes her own music, as far as I know, and I respect that. So yes, it’s quite poppy, but I don’t mind watching and listening. She’s got a pretty cool voice as well. So enjoy!
Röyksopp – Senior
Röyksopp has a new album due out on September 13th, 2010. You can listen to it via stream right now over at Hype Machine or also at the bottom of this post.
Here’s how they describe the new album, which is a follow up to Junior, in their newsletter:
Senior is the introverted, dwelling and sometimes graceful counterpart to last year’s Junior: brim-full with dark secrets and distorted memories, insisting “I’m old, I’ve got experience…” Senior is furthermore an album about age, horses and being subdued, with devils breathing down your neck.
Each track is equally as important as its predecessor and successor. We feel that none of the tracks should be regarded outside of this context. Quite a “brave”/stupid thing to do in this day & age of iPods and cherrypicking, one might suggest. We couldn’t agree more – hell that’s even probably why we did it.
I dig it!
Mines by Menomena
New Menomena album! Woo! I haven’t mentioned them on this site before, but they are a trio from my home state of Oregon.
I am streaming the album to my ears right now from the site linked to below. I suggest you do the same if you like quality original music.

Familjen
I just returned from a 20 day trip to Sweden, ja! It was good fun, I was coaching some young wakeboarders. That’s what I do for a living, which has its perks.
While there, I was introduced to some more Swedish music. This band is called Familjen, and they make good stuff! How’s that for an intro? The first song has a pretty crazy awesome video. It is called Det snurrar i min skalle or It spins my head.
Next, there is no video for this song yet, but it’s also super happy good times. This one is called Det var jag or It was I.
Radical Face – Welcome Home, Son
Thank you Pandora for playing this song for me! It’s my instant new favorite. I think it may have come on while my Fleet Foxes station was going, not sure. I had a big quick mix going and this song popped up and just perked my ears up. Give it a listen, turn it up! I love when this happens! I just remembered it was the Beirut station, nice!
