HOOOOOWEEEEEEEEEE!


Yes, I just titled this entry with a non-word. But this is perhaps the best way to describe one's response to the new Radiohead album The King of Limbs. A work that sounds something like a cross between In Rainbows, Kid A and MGMT's Congratulations, the album is a real treat and welcome early birthday surprise. There is lots to enjoy here, the more upbeat tracks such as Morning Mr. Magpie fitting in well with the somewhat psychedelic atmosphere of the overall album. A new Radiohead album might mean a tour could be in the works, which would be the best news of all.

Any time a new album from this band comes out I always look at my life as entering a brand new phase. That is one of the good things about coming from my generation: from our late teens right to today there has been a parade of fantastic music coming from these modern minstrels of Oxford.
