    Rickroll Radiohead

    in MY WORLD

    Posted · Edited by FanMan

    Radiohead want you to remix their new single, "Nude."

    Fans can purchase five different "stems" (components) of the In Rainbows track on iTunes — the song's guitar, bass, vocals, strings/effects and drum parts — and then remix them however they choose. If fans buy all five stems, on April 11 they'll be emailed a code to a file that can be opened using the GarageBand computer program. GarageBand isn't necessary to remix the files, though, as the band's site states that the files are compatible with many music production and remixing programs.

    Once fans have finished, they can upload their files to the band's remix site, where they'll be judged by fans until May 1. Fans can also create voting widgets for their website, Facebook or MySpace accounts. Thom Yorke and company will listen to the best remixes, and the present frontrunners are Toronto's Holy Fuck. You can hear their remix (along with others that have been uploaded) here. The single version of "Nude" hit U.K. stores on Monday.

    The "Nude" remix challenge comes on the heels of Radiohead's current animated video contest, in which they've challenged fans to submit video ideas for any track on In Rainbows. Radiohead will choose the winner on July 7.

    So, we should rickroll them.

    Pink Floyd

    To appreciate Pink Floyd, you can't just listen to a couple songs and judge them from that. They're an album band...at least after Syd left anyway.

    You gotta feel the music, feel the lyric, understand how it conveys the message and then understand how it fits into the rest of the album and what significance it has, what it adds to the theme of the album. Then you realise how incredible it was. Nobody has done anything as incredible as Pink Floyd...flying pigs, building a real wall between the audience and band, etc.

    The music may sound easy to record and mix now but, back then, making a new mix was basically rerecording the song. It was not simple. On stuff like On The Run, they had people manually changing settings and turning knobs on sequencers and stuff.

    This is what I got from the rant. :)

    "Is this thing even on?... coz I can't tell...

    I think, we have a decision to fuckin' make, and that's that if I'm supposed to do my job, you're supposed to fuckin' do yours, Tommy's supposed to do his, and whoever else the fuck's supposed to do theirs including the stupid idiot that keeps blockin' the runway over here has to do theirs... or I don't need to be here, it's that fuckin simple.

    I've been fucked about 5, 6 times out here and I'm sick of it... I mean it wouldn't take fuckin' rocket scientists for someone to come out and hook up my mic pack but you couldn't do that... Why not?... Fell asleep? Had a qualude?"
