The Marriage of Music and Tech

GeekSugar — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 15:00:30 PST

Fans of introspective music, rejoice! Radiohead just released its latest album, The King of Limbs, a day early. The album is only available online, a formula that has worked for the band in the past.

But Thom and co. aren't the only musicians who've embraced the possibility of technology. Some bands and singers can't get enough of iPads, Twitter, and online "experiences." Check out our slideshow of bands who love tech to see how geeky things can get!

Radiohead announced earlier this week that their new album is finished and will be available for download tomorrow, but they gave fans a fun surprise by offering it a day early (that's today!). If that doesn't get you going, they also released the first single, complete with video, for your listening and viewing pleasure. Get a taste of their new album, The King of Limbs, by watching the video for "Lotus Flower," which takes us up close and personal with front man Thom Yorke and his dance moves.

FABTV: Radiohead "Creep"

FabSugar — Sun, 03 May 2009 11:44:22 PDT

Have you ever seen Radiohead live? They rock, in the most Fab way. If you dig their moody electronic rock, add them to your show queue. I once saw them in New York on Liberty Island - it was pretty phenomenal. However, they didn't play my favorite song of theirs - "Creep." I never understood why not. "Creep" was their first commercial success, it blew up circa '93. I remember being at camp and it was always the last song of the dance. And I was giddy dancing with my two-week camp BF. So when, years later, I saw them live, I had to hear "Creep." Maybe they didn't play it because it was so popular and therefore overplayed. Oh well, I still love them and this sweet and sour song.

Open House: Do You Live in Your Dream Town?

CasaSugar — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 05:30:19 PDT

Burford, this quintessential English town in the Cotswolds, recently placed sixth on Forbes's list of Europe's Most Idyllic Places to Live, ranked higher than Rome and Budapest. With neighbors like Kate Moss, Kate Winslet, and members of Radiohead, I don't doubt that this picturesque village is a wonderful place to put down roots. But, to each her own, right? I'm pretty happy right where I am. What about you? Where in the world is your dream town? Have you found it yet? Do you live there? If not, why not? Tell me by commenting below!

Pay-What-You-Want For Albums: Great Idea or "Idiotic"?

BuzzSugar — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 11:30:20 PST

Remember back when Radiohead allowed listeners to pay whatever they wanted for the In Rainbows album? That was pretty cool, right? Well, Robert Smith of the Cure disagrees. He told the following to Music Radar:

You can't allow other people to put a price on what you do, otherwise you don't consider what you do to have any value at all and that's nonsense. If I put a value on my music and no one's prepared to pay that, then more fool me, but the idea that the value is created by the consumer is an idiot plan, it can't work.

What do you think of this? Is the pay-what-you-want tactic foolish? Or a cool idea?

Buzz In: What Were Your Favorite Grammy Moments?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 10:31:49 PST

Sunday night's Grammy Awards were so full of performances, I kept forgetting that awards were actually being handed out! My personal highlight reel? Like Pop, I loved watching a very pregnant MIA getting her swagga on with Kanye, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and TI. Lucky TI, he's actually in two of my favorite moments of the night - his duet with Justin Timberlake's the other. I also got a kick out of watching the USC marching band backing up Thom Yorke during Radiohead's performance. And I'm still wondering this morning what all that background noise was when Robert Plant and Alison Krauss accepted their final award - it couldn't have actually been booing, right?

Your turn! What were your favorite Grammy moments?

Jay-Z + Radiohead = Jaydiohead

BuzzSugar — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 14:30:54 PST

Ever since I stumbled across Jaydiohead this morning my productivity level has gone down a bit. However, lucky for me, my job is such that listening to Jaydiohead and being productive go hand in hand. But if this isn't the case for you, be warned. You may find yourself addicted.

Jaydiohead is (you might have guessed) the blending of Jay-Z and Radiohead, and it's just one of those combinations that feels so right. I probably never would have thunk it but now that it exists, I can't get enough. If you're already a fan of Radiohead, it's cool to hear the familiar tunes used in this new way (like my favorite track, "No Karma" which uses parts of Radiohead's "Karma Police"). It's hard to explain how cool this sounds so click here to download the tracks or if you're signed up with imeem you can hear Jaydiohead in a playlist if you
