Ed Banger Starts Gay Trend
With Justice came the revival of the leather jacket, the handlebar mustache, Christianity and the mainstream popularity of would-have-been-otherwise unknown French musicians and artists. Even for those who aren't fans of Justice it's undeniable the impact they have had on 2007/08. That being said...Justice might be the new Chuck Norris. The only reason Justice would have sex with men is if they ran out of underage girls at their concerts. The only people that are worthy of Justice cock are those equal on the Ed Banger-ometer, like SebastiAn. I heard that the only way to fully understand Cross is to take it in the ass from Justice while listening to their live sets backwards. FMLY, believe it or not, had a nice chat with Pedro Winter aka Busy P aka Daft Punk manager aka owner of Ed Banger at Coachella which is why we feel close enough to the camp to reveal these secrets. Will anal sex among hip straight males wearing leather jackets donning the handlebar mustache become big in '08?

A few last notes...
So there have been a couple of things that I've failed to report on today assuming that I didn't need to. Then I realized that there is ALWAYS need to!
Lil' Wayne's Tha Carter III is set for release in June. The cover art features Weezy F. Baby as a...baby? Yeah, it's actually a Lil' Wayne baby photo. Expect this to be in the running for album art of the year - it is on our end.
FMLY fav, MC Spank Rock, has been hospitalized. If you went to Coachella hoping to find Naeem more fucked up than ever and ready to grace an audience with his over-the-top hypersexualized dance-hop like I was, then you were sadly disappointed to find that he had been replaced with a 30 minute Devlin and Darko DJ set followed by a 20 minute Amanda Blank set - both of which you could easily see on a nearly weekly basis in NYC. What happened is that Naeem was rushed to the hospital only an hour before he was scheduled to appear, "you know Spank Rock is always ready to party but this time the party got him," says partner in crime and apple of my eye (along with Santogold), Amanda Blank. Whatever happened to him must be serious because he underwent some type of surgery on Monday and is still in a Palm Springs hospital. Our thoughts are with you Naeem, you'll be pounding Smirnoff and blowing rails onstage again in no time!

My Last Animal Collective Post For A While
I realize that I post A LOT about Animal Collective, especially as of late. Currently I'm writing my final paper on the human perception of "Peacebone," the first track from Strawberry Jam, so until anything major happens in the AC camp, this will be it for some time.
What I did want to briefly say - as I've said many times- is that Animal Collective absolutely blew me the fuck out of the water at Coachella. Unleashing an arsenal of new music at Coachella it was a monumental event to hear Panda Bear break out into solo and deliver "Comfy In Nautica," a track that defined my 2007. Animal Collective has big things to come in '08 but in '09 we will hopefully see a new release from Panda as well as Avey; I'm also curious to see what Geologist has in store as his role in the group has become more distinguished since the release of Strawberry Jam. AC closed their set with the enchanting "Brother Sport" where you can see much influence from Panda's move to Portugal as tropical sounds overwhelm the chorus in an ecstasy inducing manner. Please Avey, pass me the Strawberry Jam, prep the Water Curses EP and let me dig into what's next!

Grand Theft Auto IV
If you have a video game system compatible with the new Grand Theft Auto then I really have no idea why you're reading this blog right now. The graphics in Liberty City are spectacular as well as the game-play, but for a moment I'd like to talk about the great choice of music. I'm not familiar with the game as I've never had a system that would allow me to take part in such an awesome idea, but I get the basic idea. In the game there are radio stations with DJs, but in this case the stations are so distinguished and were curated by actual DJs such as Francios K, Juliet Lewis, Iggy Pop, Daddy Yankee, etc... The DJs narrowed their selection so well that the game features music from SebastiAn, Kavinsky, !!!, Cheeseburger, The Black Keys, Boys Noize, Bad Brains, Aphex Twin, K.I.M., Simian Mobile Disco and possibly the most talked about - not necessarily in a positive way - group on the FMLY blog, Justice. To check out the full list of radio stations, DJs and tunes on your game, just click here.

Monolith Festival Revealed
FMLY FRNDS The Morning Benders have been added to the lineup of Monolith 2008 taking place in the Red Rock Amphitheater in Colorado this September. You may recognize the venue name from the back of your Daft Punk Alive 2007 tour shirt as the robotic duo has played this arena. The festival does have somewhat of an awkward lineup coughMickeyAvaloncough but overall looks to be a more than decent indie dance weekend.

Santogold at Virgin
Alright, so I'm in love with Santogold, I believe in Santogold, I want to be Santogold's best friend...if M.I.A. and Rose hadn't both taken that position. After catching Santi's set at Coachella I was blown away by her charisma and the expression within her voice - it is as if she has an endless range that can extend as far as ears can hear. Last night at the Virgin Store was absolutely no different, her beautifully written world influenced pop was the perfect touch to a Tuesday night. Performing much of the same set that she did at Coachella, Santi was filled with an energy as if she had never let anyone hear these songs before. "I waited a really fucking long time to release this album," she tells a starstruck crowd, "but it was all worth it, dance!" You can catch Santi and the crew on tour in England come May - if you' swing from that part of the ocean.

St. Chella
(Thank you for the photo Los Anjealous!)
The past couple days almost everyone I see asks me what my favorite performance at Coachella was. It was sort of a surprise to me when I heard myself saying St. Vincent for the first time. I have always been a fan of St. Vincent (Those of you who listen to FMLY Radio know this) but I wasn't expecting such intensity and strength. Unlike her very produced CD (which I am a big fan of), her live performance evokes honest and powerful emotion. If you have just heard the recordings or haven't heard her at all, take a look at these videos.

Back in NYC today and Coachella news is to come...
If you're lucky enough to be in the big apple today you should make your way over to the Virgin Megastore in Union Square around 6:30 to see Santogold (starts at 7). While you're there make sure to pick up her new album which you can find in stores today.

Four Eyed Monsters
So for the past few years I have been following the story of two struggling artists who tell a story through their relationship. They made a movie based on their relationship where they agreed never to speak but to communicate through different mediums. Prior to the release of the movie they made a series of podcasts documenting their adventure. This might be the most honest and human thing I have ever seen. It has made me feel emotions that few things can. They also turned me on to all sorts of great music including the Spinto Band, National Eye, Paper Jones, and Apes and Androids.
All the podcasts are available here and more are being released in coming days. You can now also get the movie on DVD including all the podcasts at Borders.

DJ Burial?
This is huge news: dubstep royalty, Burial, whose identity still remains unknown (aside from the William Bevan theory), is next in line to craft one of those highly regarded DJ-Kicks mixes that you hear about Hot Chip and artists of the like making. Aside from releasing an interview here and a Thom Yorke remix there, the world has not seen much of Burial since releasing his highly acclaimed 2007 release, Untrue (Hyperdub). It will be interesting to see which tracks Burial chooses to "treat." Although he could go with the expected El-b, Digital Mystikz or Skream tunes, I'm hoping that he follows a different route and goes to a part of Burial that hasn't been introduced to fans. Burial's DJ-Kicks will be released in the states July 8 via !K7. Coincidentally, I'm writing a final paper on the cognitive science behind Burial's "Dog Shelter." If you haven't picked up a copy of Untrue, it is a timeless must-have album...in CD and vinyl format!

Animal Collective Gets Pantha'd
I'm not sure how long ago this happened, but the infamous experimental techno artist Pantha du Prince worked his magic on Animal Collective's "Peacebone." In a blogosphere of Justice and Chromeo it's nice to take a breath and listen to the pre-MySpace professionals handle shit.

Mashin' Up, BMSR vs Webbie
What do you get when you combine DJ STV SLV and a Chicago summer? Well...you get a FMLY favorite band mashed together with my favorite Spring Break jam. The Hood Internet's DJ STV SLV mashed up Black Moth's "Drippy Eye" with Webbie's I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T to create a mash worthy of a sing-a-long.
DJ STV SLV - Drippy I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T
And if you're feelin' Webbie like I am...
Webbie - I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T

System of a Down Meets Wu-Tang...Literally
I was surprised to have not heard about this. FMLY is a big fan of Wu-Tang.
System of a Down bassist Shavo Odadjian and key Wu-Tang Clan member the RZA have finished their first album as Achozen, a self-titled effort that's due out through Odadjian's digital label (urSESSION) this summer. Following the self-proclaimed mantra of "many shall come, only a few shall be Achozen," the group features the vocals of Kinetic 9 (a.k.a. Beretta 9 of Killarmy) and Chicago's own Reverend William Burke.
While RZA contributed a decent amount of beats to the project, Odadjian actually generated most of the album's original, largely sample-free productions. The estranged SOAD member also played bass and sitar. A number of high profile guests also helped out with the record, including George Clinton, Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante, Killah Priest and GZA.
Song titles are unknown at this time, but the quartet is debuting a track called "Deuces" on urSESSION.com Tuesday, April 22, at 4:22 p.m. PST. [cred]

Late Night TV
[Radiohead live on Conan in '93]
Wow, it was quite a crazy holiday weekend, but if you happened to be in New York City then it was quite a hot one as well! Lots of work is coming up as this week IS Coachella week, one of the busiest times of the year for FMLY. Today I would just like to quickly mention that Grizzly Bear will be on Conan O'Brien tonight followed by M. Ward and Zoey Deschanel's lovely She and Him tomorrow all building up to Radiohead on Wednesday...yeah, Radiohead.
One of the biggest bands in the world, Radiohead, will make an exclusive appearance on NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" Wednesday April 23 (12:35-1:35am ET).
The band - who made their network television debut on "Late Night" and were O'Brien's first-ever musical guest in 1993 - has recorded an exclusive live performance from their critically acclaimed and record-industry-paradigm-shifting release "In Rainbows" to air on O'Brien's contribution to NBC's "Green Week" of environmentally conscious programming.
Recorded live in London, Radiohead's performance of "House of Cards," represents an ongoing effort by the socially conscious band to act in the greenest manner possible. By opting to record this exclusive performance rather than fly over for a one-off appearance, the band - as frontman Thom Yorke notes in the introduction to their performance - avoided leaving a carbon footprint equivalent to driving one's car for a solid year.
Other guests on "Late Night's" "Green" show are a bit more literal - "Robot Chicken" creator and actor Seth GREEN and "Today" show travel editor Peter GREENberg.

Newer Newest New Animal Collective
Time must be flying by because I feel like Animal Collective just released Strawberry Jam. I was impressed enough when I heard the intricacy of the Water Curses EP but now to find out that there is even more material is outstanding! AC have been playing a new track, "Brother Sport," during recent shows and this could definitely be their finest song yet. Every shift in style throughout the song varies so greatly, I just can't wait to hear it at Coachella. Check out the video above from Pitchfork.tv.

Fucked Up Fridays
After seeing Jason Segel down some pretty yummy looking drinks in the Hawaiian setting of Forgetting Sarah Marshall today, I found myself craving something tropical for this week's Fucked Up Friday. So without further ado, this week's drink is the Tropical Breeze. Enjoy!
1. Get some Malibu Coconut Rum, some Blue Curacao, some Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice, and a pineapple.
2. Fill your glass with ice and fill 1/4 of the way with rum.
3. Fill the glass 1/2 way with the Blue Curacao.
4. Fill the rest of the way with the grapefruit juice.
5. Slice up your pineapple and then separate that slice into fourths. Then slit the fourths in order to slide easily on the edge of your glass.
Your drink should hopefully look like this.

Up-To-Date! Party Sequence
So for this week's Flashback! Party Sequence I'd like to choose a more contemporary song, Walter Meego's "Girls." XLR8R really turned me onto this group and especially this particular song (although the entire album is of the same quality). So download and enjoy this at Silent Rave Night! Don't like new music on your Flashback! Party Sequence Friday? It's chill, this is a special circumstance.

Silent Rave NY
So if you know where Union Square is then you should come by Silent Rave night, here are the official instructions.
The basic premise is thousands of people turn up in a public place, plug in their own ipods, listen to their own music and dance and rave for hours!
The prospect of raving like you really don't care about what other people think, with thousands of fellow dancers, is a bloody brilliant one I think you'll agree!
THE OFFICIAL START TIME TO THE SILENT RAVE IS 6:17PM, NO RAVING BEFORE THIS TIME! IGNORE WHAT THE FACEBOOK TIME SAYS (it doesn't let you put minutes like 17 in.)
I will be underneath the big statue of Washington, and people shoulod congregate on that front area. SPREAD OUT ACROSS THE PARK ONCE THAT GETS TOO FULL, people need room to rave!
There is never an official end time for Silent Raves, its just whenever you're done that it ends. Facebook requires an end time which is why I put one in.
There will be an afterparty at the NY FMLY headquarters just two blocks away with DJ'ing by Ecks and Your Majesty - if you like, make today's Fucked Up Friday drink and then come on over!

Alright, so I don't really understand this video, but does anyone really understand Animal Collective? I'd like to think that an in depth look at the music and lives of the group will be written in a few generations as AC is looked at with the same passion that we look at figures such as Radiohead and Bob Dylan (being Panda Bear). AC will play Coachella, and more AC news in the post directly below this one. I've had the Water Curses EP on repeat since I received it and it is yet a new level for Animal Collective, they somehow managed to raise their own bar even further.

Animal Collective's Water Curses EP
Have you heard Animal Collective's new EP? Well FMLY has.
Water Curses, due out May 5 on Domino, features four new tracks by Animal Collective. The new songs are total summer beach jams, if you can find a beach that's in a brightly lit forest. The EP is very textual, very fresh considering the short time that it has been since Strawberry Jam was released, and still very Animal Collective. Stream the title track on the band's MySpace page.

Fucked Up Fridays
Salut! This week's drink is a Melon Ball Shooter. Happy drinking!
1. Gather ingredients: Vodka (this week I used Ketel One brand), any melon liqueur (I used Midori), Pineapple Juice (I used Dole), a martini shaker, a honeydew melon, a long kitchen knife, a shot glass, and either a melon ball scooper or a one teaspoon round measuring spoon (which I have used).2. Halve the melon with the knife, then scoop out the seeds with a tablespoon and rinse with cold water. Dry off the melon halves with a paper towel to avoid sliminess.
3. Using the one tsp measuring spoon, scoop out as many melon balls as needed. Then place them aside in a dish.
4. Fill the martini shaker 3/4 of the way with ice.
5. Fill halfway with vodka.
6. 1/4 of the melon liqueur.
7. 1/4 of the pineapple juice.
8. Shake vigorously as I have done above.
9. Strain into a shot glass.
10. Place a melon ball in the shot glass and serve.
Voilà!
Ahhh! Fuckedupidly refreshing.I'll see ya next Fucked Up Friday.

Will you tell them about your still favorite band, Vampire Weekend? How about when you saw a shitty Justice performance on the MySpace music tour and then a shittier one at Coachella? Well...to make it easier, here are some milestones for you to keep track of.
FMLY presents...shit to remember at the end of the year and maybe be thankful for during Thanksgiving.
Chanel will release, with their Spring collection, the first "couture" bicycle for a mere $12,000. It's like a car that you can't take outside!
The hipster Indian FMLY with a two-faced baby. I see evolution and superhero potential.
Or will you remember how The Cobrasnake and friends took over the world and rewrote history with Mark's time-altering super high resolution camera?

Tell FMLY what you'll remember. Personally, what I remember in 20 years will be the Hipster Runoff remix of Radiohead and the Party Time 2000 remix of the HRO remix of Radiohead - both of which you can download on this blog!

Justice Does Lines...Of Clothes!
Thanks Hipster Runoff for the heads up.
Justice, now being dubbed the Radiohead of France, is going one step farther than world and MySpace domination, design and marketing. If you're a fan of looking like a douche in a leather jumpsuit, feel free to purchase your own Justice designed outfit!
It's great for parties because it won't beer stain.
Or if you're a strictly cardigan kinda soul, feel free to snag yourself some Justice pants!
And never leave your cross behind.
Please send in pictures of people wearing these!

Tapes 'N Tapes at Virgin, Review
Tapes 'N Tapes has always been a band that I've enjoyed but have never become passionate over. Sure they have great tunes like "Insistor," "Beach Girls" and "In Houston," but during the time that they were becoming a prominent band in the indie community I was chillin' with Night Ripper (Illegal Art) and Classics (XL) on my iPod not leaving much room for the formulaic verse chorus verse band. I did catch Tapes 'N Tapes at Coachella '07 and it was a good performance, I had a good time with their songs and with my friends but last night, although a good show, just didn't do it for me. Yes, it was a free show in a Virgin store with an audience that wasn't very enthusiastic and daylight was overwhelming the room, but I was expecting some kick ass shit!
Tapes played a good portion of their new album, Walk It Off (XL), which I have not yet become familiar with. The songs seemed well done but none of them really sparked enough interest for me to buy their album, they were all very much what you would expect from a new Tapes album - which is both good and bad. They played a strong set, and I do have the compliment the drummer for being so fashionable and having so much fun, but I would have liked more audience interaction considering that was their album release show. I guess that I really went hoping to hear some songs off of The Loon and was left with songs that I did not recognize except for the closer, "Hang Them All." As a review in a nutshell, if you're a real fan see them, if you're just into them then check out their album first - I'm gonna give it a shot, maybe it just needs to grow. As of right now my opinion is that music has grown since we saw The Loon, but Tapes collected their $200 before passing Go. Remember, this is a preliminary review, I have only seen a portion of the new album live and have not heard it in its entirety. If you have, please let FMLY know what you think. I'll let you know what P4k thinks.

Jeffrey Lewis On Crass
Maybe you've seen the Jeffrey Lewis stickers around Williamsburg? Well, if you've been curious as to who this christmas colored mystery man is, he is one of you. Lewis is an anti-folk artist from New York fitting into a genre somewhere between The Moldy Peaches and Why?. Actually, he has collaborated with Kimya Dawson and gone on tour with Adam Green, both of The Moldy Peaches. If you're having a slow Tuesday, but some Jeffrey Lewis and the hours will just fly by. His most recent release is an album entirely of Crass songs rewritten to fit his anti-folk style. Crass is an old British punk band whose lyrics still ring true today.

LA Riots Remix Weezer
It's been a Weezer heavy week here at FMLY, AND I'm still waiting for the Lil' Weezy remix of Weezer, but until that happens here is a sneak peak of the LA Riots remix of the new Weezer tune, "Automatic." The vocals in this track are done by Pat Wilson, the drummer of Weezer, not Rivers. Enjoy!

Matt & Mano & Kim Go Hollywood
Matt & Kim will always hold a special place in my heart. I can still remember how impressed I was when the video for "Yea Yeah" was released, to this day it's still a favorite. Anyways, Mano and Hollywood Holt did what they do best and worked their magic on M & K's "It's a Fact." The track was featured on Franki Chan's Scion/IHEARTCOMIX mixtape which made its premiere at SXSW.

Lollapalooza Preview
The Chicago-Sun Times did the reading world a favor and leaked some of the confirmed acts for Lollapalooza which so far looks above par from other festivals this year. If you haven't heard, Grizzly Bear has been confirmed to open for Radiohead on the second leg of their North American tour. This didn't come as a surprise because Thom Yorke has publicly acknowledged his fondness for the Brooklyn group. BOTH groups will appear at Lollapalooza this year, along with a strong lineup consisting of Wilco, Rage Against The Machine, Nine Inch Nails, Kanye, Girl Talk, Battles, The Go! Team, Broken Social Scene, Mates of State, The Cool Kids, and Kid Sister. The entire lineup will be revealed by festival promoters on Monday.

Kanye Glows In The Dark
So after hearing about Kanye's upcoming Glow In The Dark tour and what is in store for his performance, I'm either disliking his methods even more or just very curious to check it out. Here's a few giveaways for what you can expect on the tour via Kanye's blog (not his travel site):

Fucked Up Fridays
Hello again, this week's drink is called the Black and Blue Berry. Best served at your next swanky cocktail party. Enjoy!
1. Gather ingredients . You can either use champagne (middle) or any sparkling white wine (left), Trader Joe's Sparkling Blueberry Juice (right), and blackberries for garnishing.
2. Fill a champagne flute 3/4 of the way with the blueberry juice.
3. Using a Black and Tan styled spoon, float the champagne on top of the juice as seen above. If this proves to be too difficult just let the two mix and skip to the next step. If done properly your drink should look like mine in the third photo.
4. Gently place a blackberry on top of your drink, allowing it to float.
Mmmmm.

HIPSTER RUNOFF IS THE NEXT JUSTICE
FMLY's best friend (whether Carles likes it or not), Hipster Runoff, has made blog waves with his remix of Radiohead's "Nude." Just the other day I posted about the Radiohead remix contest that Holy Fuck had entered. Well, Holy Fuck is STILL in first place by quite a lot of votes, but Carles is in third and gaining. This is truly an incredible sight and maybe when this contest is over we'll see a change in remixing. You can hear Carles' voice on his "Nude" remix, but if you're a superfan of the blog like I, then you'll also notice that Carles' voice has also been featured in Party Time 2000's remix of Leolaw's "Good Fortune," a song about Mel Gibson. On blogs ranging from Gorilla vs Bear to FMLY friend Pretty Much Amazing, Hipster Runoff will be big in '08.
Hipster Runoff is the next Led Zeppelin.

Sebatien Tellier's "Divine" Video
Filmed in Los Angeles, Sebastien Tellier's video for the quirky "Divine" has been released. If you haven't caught onto Tellier yet, now would be the time. His album, Sexuality - produced by Daft Punk's Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo - is a frontrunner right now for my favorite electronic pop album of the year. The guy is a bit of a weirdo, but you there is no room to argue with his results.

Geocaching My Life Away
I began Geocaching yesterday, read on to find out about it...
Geocaching is a journey game for gps users and those who think that they have a great sense of direction like myself. The basic idea behind it is that active 'Geocachers' set up caches all over the world and share its location on the internet. The point is for anyone who stumbles upon this well kept secret to find these caches and leave their name on the log and/or take and replace the item that you find within the cache with something of yours. You find these caches using a combination of riddles and coordinates, like a global scavenger hunt. There are thousands within each city and I guarantee that you pass at least 15 daily.
If you would like to be a part of this game, which I suggest you should, go to the website for more information.

Kicking it French
With their fast paced drums, catchy guitar lines, full bass and dreamy voice, New York based French Kicks' new album Swimming is a perfect spring time album. The album is available on iTunes right now and will be available on CD May 20 and will be playing at the Echo May 22.
This music video isn't from the new album but it definitely gives you a feel for what they are about.

The Fall of an Empire
As the old music industry claws at the sides of the hole they have dug for themselves, three of the four major record companies, Universal Music, Sony BMG and Warner Music Group with EMI prospected to follow, will join Myspace as a last attempt to turn the books black. Later this year you will be able to share custimized playlist with your friends and listen to music online for free paid for by advertising. Thank god I will finally be able to listen to Hannah Montana for free while being bombarded with pop ups! You can download tracks to put on your portable music device as well (for a fee) and they are also considering a subscription component. This would be pretty revolutionary if it were 1999...
I say too little too late. Maybe the reason wee aren't buying the music isn't because we can get it for free off the internet but because the music isn't worth our money.
...This segment is becoming too easy to write...

Also announced is that there is a new Weezer song, "Everybody Get Dangerous," in the movie 21, LA Riots has remixed the song "Automatic" for Gran Turismo Five, and the first single off of the new album is "Pork and Beans." The name of the album has also been called...Weezer, more specifically, The Red Album. The album title is not 100% confirmed, there is no word whether this is legit or just an April fools joke.

The man who brought you Death Cab, The Postal Service, Ben Gibbard (solo), Revolutionary Hydra, and All-Time Quarterback is now exposing a new color to his musical spectrum, Just Jazzin'.
"....there’s this side of me and my music that desires a lack of structure and Just Jazzin’ does that for me," says Gibbard, "I am allowed to just play whatever note comes into my head."

Radiohead Nude? Holy Fuck!
Holy Fuck have really blown me away since I caught them at CMJ in October. Pre-CMJ there was never much mention of the band and some live mp3's would pop up occasionally. Since CMJ, they've toured with Super Furry Animals, are playing Coachella and opening for M.I.A., not to mention all of their great remixes coming out!
Related:
Radiohead, iTunes and Garageband are giving fans the opportunity to remix the band's new single "Nude" at
http://www.radioheadremix.com.
To make remixing easy, the separate 'stems'* from the song will be available to purchase from iTunes. The 'stems' available are bass, voice, guitar, strings/fx and drums. Fans can mix them in any way they like, either by adding their own beats and instrumentation, or just remixing the original parts.
Fans who purchase all five 'stems' from iTunes during the first week they're available, will be sent an access code to a GarageBand file ready to open in GarageBand or Logic. However, you don't need GarageBand to do a remix, all the stems are available in iTunes Plus and compatible with several music software platforms.
Finished mixes can be uploaded to http://www.radioheadremix.com where the public will listen and vote for their favourite remix (voting ends May 1st). Fans can also create a widget allowing votes from their own website, Facebook or MySpace page to be counted as 'mix votes' back on radioheadremix.com.
Nude is out now in the UK on CD, 7" and download.
*'stems' are the component parts of the song.
Anyways, Holy Fuck's remix is in the lead right now and what a coincidence because I hear Radiohead is a fan of the Toronto band. Go to the site, listen, upload, and vote!
