Yesterday, we posted a video of an intensely horrible high school girls' hurdles race (here). It was an instant Internet sensation! Or something. Anyway, somebody took the video, slowed it down, and added the acoustic cover of Radiohead's "Creep."
Remember the trailer for The Social Network? The one that had an a capella choir's rendition of Radiohead's "Creep" in it? Well, it turns out that adding that same music to even the most silly/lighthearted viral video transforms it forever.
Hours before sharing the stage with a randy panda on the first date of his "Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television" tour, Conan O'Brien broke out his best mockney accent and performed a cover of Radiohead's "Creep" during soundcheck.
Conan affects a cockney British accent to cover Radiohead's 90's classic during a soundcheck in Eugene, OR. Those high notes are a job better left to Thom Yorke, but he's clearly having a blast on his new tour.
Some guy tried to light an explosive devise, ended up producing a mediocre fireworks show inside of an airplane. So, he failed, ended up with burned balls. Now we have heroes and tighter air travel regulations. Also: he was Al-Qaeda.
For all of the millions of words written about Radiohead, soulful is usually not one of them. This homeless man, named "Homeless Mustard," does an acoustic cover with such intensity and passion, it's hard to not get shivers.
The cuteness of this kitten gives new meaning to cute kittens. Plus she has good taste in music.
Spain's Cuarto television network aired this commercial for the final season of Lost yesterday. This dark, haunting imagery set to Radiohead's "Everything In Its Right Place" might make any casual tv-viewer amped up enough to get into the upcoming season.
A child of Jon and Kate Gosselin is injured after an unsuccessful sacrificial offering to Nielsen gods by TLC. Madonna's child caper! Susan Boyle: distraught. Harry Potter and Radiohead? Yeezey's girlfriend! Presenting your Sunday morning gossip roundup. Happy Father's Day!
If the incoming Oscar producers are serious about their pledge to detonate the awards show and rebuild from scratch, may they take two imperative lessons from Sunday night's Grammy telecast:
When Radiohead unveiled the then-breakthrough gimmick of letting anyone pay whatever they liked to download its In Rainbows album, opinion was pretty much split between those who thought they had discovered the future of the music industry, and those who thought that nobody in their right mind would pay more than…
Sorry, celebrities, the paparazzi is everywhere now, because we are all paparazzi. Also, we can see through your disguises! The photo at left was snapped Saturday by "Malliser" at the All Points West music festival in Jersey City, where Radiohead played. Malliser and friend swear it's actress Marisa Tomei, next to…
Radiohead created a music video for the song "House of Cards" without using cameras. Instead, the band used technologies called "Geometric Informatics" and "Velodyne LIDAR" to scan their heads with lasers while singing the song. In keeping with the video's futuristic, technology-of-tomorrow creation, the band today…
God I love these perverse little lists: A web site that tracks what its users listen to on iTunes has compiled a list of the songs its users most often delete from their records, presumably tracks that people listened to but don't want anyone to see. So what are the most popular guilty pleasures?
After giving away their album to people too crass to support art and then encouraging saps to buy their free album, Radiohead has another crazy plan to drum free publicity for their music. The band is holding a contest to find an animator to create a video for the band. Radiohead is going to save the music industry;…
Record label EMI will lay off 2,000 and shift its focus toward digital music, private equity investor and company topper Guy Hands told the Financial Times. Hands said the music industry operates on fallacies with origins in "the phenomenon of the 1990s and the CD" and as a result, companies like EMI are…
ComScore, the online traffic tracker, told us that 62 percent of the 1.2 million fans who downloaded Radiohead's latest album "In Rainbows" weren't willing to pay for it. Now the band's management wants to kibosh those reports.
Mathematical types might object, but to me the evidence is clear. British music fans are 8 percent better than Americans and 10 percent better than the rest of the world.
Last we heard about Radiohead's experiment to let people pay what they want for its latest album, "In Rainbows," we were ready to bury record labels. We heard the average price paid for "In Rainbows" fell between $5 and $8 and that a low estimate of Radiohead's take in two days was $6 million. But now ComScore's …
