CUTOUTS Ho


These are one of those posts that end up being basically for an audience of exactly one person -- that person being myself -- but since I'm my own best audience it's gonna happen. Scroll on by if you are just here for abs -- there be plenty below. Anyway the first thing I saw online this morning was a blinking red alert that The Smile -- the band that features Radiohead (aka my favorite band) members Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, along with drummer Tom Skinner -- had just dropped a new album! Well pre-orders of a new album anyway -- it's called CUTOUTS (I am not sure if that's supposed to be entirely capitalized or not but for now I'm going with that) and you can pre-order it from their web-store right here. This is their third successive album as a Radiohead side-project -- and all three of these have happened since last we got a new Radiohead album EIGHT YEARS AGO with A Moon Shaped Pool -- other members of Radiohead who aren'tm Thom or Jonny keep saying that Radiohead is not broken up; I don't believe either Thom or Jonny have stated such but I am choosing to believe that because I would die otherwise. Just drop dead here and now. Not that I don't love the work they've done with the Smile -- these have all been wonderful records and the songs we've heard off this new one so far are all just as good as naything they've put out to date. On that note they just dropped a trippy new music video for the song "Foreign Spies" (it's real pretty) and here, watch!

I enjoy the two Smile albums they've put out. Am a fan of Radiohead and Thom Yorke's solo work too. I tend to listen to A Moon Shaped Pool more than the rest. It's their most beautiful music for me.

Another huge fan here! Please keep publishing anything Thom Yorke related.
