[News] Thom Yorke: Radiohead Touring in 2012 x Atoms For Peace Album Finished

During an interview last night on Gilles Peterson’s show on BBC Radio 1, Thom Yorke made a lot of Radiohead fans very, very happy. Having played a surprise set at Glastonbury this year many fans were left wanting more and it seems like those fans may have had their wish granted by the man with all the dance moves. Thom revealed that Radiohead will be touring in 2012 after figuring out how to actually play KoL live stating:

"The idea is to go out and play next year on and off during the year."

Additionally, Thom spoke about his his side-project Atoms For Peace which is made up of Flea, Nigel Godirch, Joey Waronker, and Mauro Refosco, and says the band have recorded an album and it's on the way. It's just being finished up by Godrich at the moment. 

So all in all a very good night for Radiohead and Thom Yorke fans alike. You can listen to the broadcast for the next 7 days on the BBC website. Hat tip to the Radiohead fan site Green Plastic.

[Listen] James Blake - "Enough Thunder" (Live on KCRW)

Somehow, someway, James Blake manages to keep his name in the limelight. After releasing his debut album last year, the UK artist has kept the momentum going, whether it's his extensive touring, collaborating with indie darling Bon Iver, and, more recently, announcing his upcoming EP titled Enough Thunder. The EP will include Blake and Bon Iver's collaboration, titled "Fall Creek Boys Choir," Blake's cover of Joni Mitchell's "A Case Of You," as well as four original compositions. Yesterday, we got a taste of Blake's original compositions with a live version of "Once We All Agree," and today, we got another live version of one of those original tracks. The title track from the upcoming EP was played live for KCRW, and you can listen to it in its entirety below.

The Enough Thunder EP is due out on October 10th.

[News] Coldplay Announce UK Arena Tour For December

Coldplay are to follow up the release of their new album Mylo Xyloto next month with a UK arena tour.

The band will start out at Glasgow's SECC on December 3rd and hit up Manchester's MEN the day after before a 5 day gap and finishing up at London's O2 Arena. Anyone else thinking that some more dates are probably going to be added to this sooner rather than later?

London, O2 Arena – 9

[Watch] Tubelord - "My First Castle" (Video)

Okay, there is way too much going on in this video. I guess that's a pretty decent tactic to use if you need to get someone to watch your video enough times that you end up liking the song, but Tubelord did not really need to do for "My First Castle". There's all these picture in picture things going on, plus I kept trying to follow along with whatever was scrolling across the bottom. TOO MUCH!

Anyway, "My First Castle" is from Tubelord's upcoming sophomore album, R O M A N C E, which is out on October 10th courtesy of Pink Mist. The single will be available on October 3rd.

[Watch] Hanni El Khatib - "Come Alive"

Considering the song is called "Come Alive" it's pretty amusing that Hanni El Khatib ends up hanging out with a young troublemaking grim reaper and helps her get into even more michief. The video was shot by Wyatt Troll and co-produced by Milla Jovovich. If you look closely, you'll notice that tattoo legand Mark Mahoney makes an appearance in the video as well. "Come Alive" will be on Hanni's upcoming album, Will The Guns Come Out, which drops on September 27th.

Hanni is playing out in the NYC area over the next few days. Make sure you catch him if you live around these here parts:
