The New Year’s Baby: Radiohead Webcast
It’s only fitting that the band generating the biggest industry buzz in 2007 would also make the biggest splash on New Year’s Eve.
Clay Aiken-Yorke and the rest of the Radiohead fellers put in a solid 52 minutes of work last night, webcasting a dynamic (mostly) studio performance that showed off how the material off In Rainbows may sound live. And after one listen, I’m ready to throw down the poundage to see them wherever they play in these United States. Give it a whirl yourself; the video’s courtesy of Al Gore’s Current TV invention:
Man, that’s just mesmerizing stuff, and I’ve never even been a huge Radiohead fan. Faust Arp in a field? Thom Yorke’s 15 Steps gyrations? Awesome shit. At this point, I believe anyone who didn’t think In Rainbows was the album of the year is either deaf or lying, or a lying deaf person, like that time Marlee Matlin said she’d “definitely call me” when leaving my apartment that one marvelous night.
Slade Sohmer
In 2006 Slade Sohmer founded Hidden Track along with current EiC Scott Bernstein. Slade ran the site until 2008, establishing a scope of coverage and level of professionalism that still exists today. In 2010 Sohmer founded HyperVocal with Lee Brenner and the "purveyors of the vital and viral" have gone on to create a network of highly acclaimed sites that includes Headlines That Suck, Weeping Elvis, Distriction and Spike The Water Cooler.

Is there a band pulling off cooler moves than Radiohead? These guys just don’t quit being the bees knees.
You could maybe make a case for My Morning Jacket’s festival stage setups and awesome catalog that goes with it. You could maybe make a case for the Flaming Lips’ shows, but their music ain’t nearly as strong as those other two. With Phish gone, it’s just great to see someone still trying to be unique and successful simultaneously.
You must’ve misheard me. Ironic.
“clay aiken-yorke” —haha. I have often thought that. too funny.
also, Marlee Matlin was all you could muster up for famed deaf peeps, ace?
Marlee wouldn’t give any of us hippie music dorks the time of day.
