Is This the Coachella 2012 Lineup?

Coachella 2012 is still more than four months away -- so naturally, it's time to start hyperventilating over rumored lineups for the first year the festival will stretch over two weekends.

Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto: A First Listen

​ The No. 1 album in the country this week is by the biggest band on Earth. All is right with the world? Well, hold that thought. Unlike textural forbears U2 and Radiohead, much less the Clash or Nirvana, most people even willing to concede that Coldplay is a relevant force do not think it has ... More >>

A Quick and Easy Guide to Talking (or Not Talking) at Concerts

​After having Jens Lekman's subtly gorgeous show at California Academy of Sciences nearly ruined last night by loudly chattering drunks, we think it's perhaps time to lay down some reasonable guidelines for talking during shows.

Got it (happy sigh).​At about 1:30 p.m. today, after 40 minutes of waiting on Mission Street, we were handed a copy of Radiohead's much-ballyhooed newspaper, The Universal Sigh. It's 12 pages, with color on the front, back, and middle. It contains a lot of first-person writing, some Radiohead lyri ... More >>

Radiohead's The King of Limbs: A First Listen

​ If Radiohead wants to move in real time, we music critics can oblige. I'm putting on the just-dropped The King of Limbs and engaging it as I listen. Here's a first take: "Bloom" Thom Yorke guested on Flying Lotus' Cosmogramma last year, and not wanting to be outdone, swiped a falling-down ... More >>

Thom Yorke Dancing to 'Single Ladies' -- Funniest (Radiohead) Video Ever

By now you've seen the clip for "Lotus Flower," off Radiohead's just-released King of Limbs. (A first take here.) And you've probably been unsettled by the apparent disparity between what a madly writhing Yorke seems to hear in his head -- when he dances through the entire video -- and what you hea ... More >>

Prague Rock: Free Radiohead Concert DVD Out Now

Been a while since Radiohead came through the Bay Area, and it'll probably be another while before they return. (Thom Yorke played at the Fox in April, but that doesn't count.)

Thom Yorke has been playing a haunting new song called "Give Up the Ghost" at a few solo shows this year.

MP3 of the Day: Loch Lomond

You're broke. But that makes no difference to your craving for new music. It's still there, your need to load up the old iPod with fresh tunes.

MP3 of the Day: Uzi & Ari

(Photo by by Serina Nielson) Strange when an indie record store in Salt Lake City lists among its most popular releases a relatively unknown band from San Francisco.
