For those of you who missed it the Radiohead DVD of really impressive versions of King of Limbs tracks has been out for a little while, and it comes complete with a cd of the session. Stream it and try before you buy, or as the Germans say don't buy a cat in the sack. (turn HD on if you have a fast connection).

That last post I turned to proper classics and psuedo-kitch for some kind of release. Unsurprisingly, the move was not wholly satisfying. So for a deeper clean, let us turn today to a bit of soul.

As for 'tomorrow', we will be a venturing into an odd realm of throwbacks before straight-lining directly into some slow and fresh disco-tinged house... Finally. Thank you for your patience through this dry spell.
