Only 10 days left to see the Eugene Merinov exhibit at Etherea Records in NYC if you haven't seen it yet. Original prints and reproductions are available for order if desired - all hand printed by Eugene himself.
What will happen after the show? Who knows? Not me. Keep your eye on this space.
Magnetic Fields to release new album in January 2008
Stephin Merritt and company have finished their long-awaited full-length, Distortion. Scheduled for a January 15th release, the album features 13 new songs. Like previous efforts, vocal duties are handled by by Mr. Merritt and drummer Claudia Gonson. Sonic distortion is applied on many different instruments, carefully layered in the background behind the vocals, creating a hazy pop feel that recalls the Jesus and Mary Chain, while retaining a hum-able pop feel throughout.

Radiohead - In Rainbows
After the fairly scattershot approach of "Hail To The Thief" and extreme introspection of Yorke's solo "Eraser", it's pretty awe-inspiring to hear the group in expansive mode again, creating an album that keeps their emotional core inact while pushing the boundaries of their sound outward.
The initial impression given by the album (and one that stays after listening repeatedly) is a band at the peak of their powers. From the moment the first song starts, it's clear that there's nothing tentative going on here. We're up to full speed within seconds, kids cheer, the beats hit you square in the gut, Thom Yorke begins to jabber in his inimitable fashion, and it's recognizably paranoid skittish Radiohead, but looser and fiercer and funkier all at once.
There's all the expected pretty Radiohead moments but not neccesarily in the places you expect. There's weird percussive things. And big guitar roars and little piano noises and slightly computerized jittery things that melt into a soaring melody so seamlessly that you never really stop to think about the transition.
In short, In Rainbows manages to showcase all of Radiohead's strengths and use them as a foundation for something fresh and new. Once again.
