Radiohead Drummer Releases New Video

Radiohead drummer Phil Selway has released his video for the track, "By Some Miracle." Selway calls his material, "warm folk," which is a nice label for the vibe.

The slower, acoustic texture sets the tone of the empty downtown streets, and the dark vibe throughout. Also, a woman who's trying to kill herself standing on a rooftop.

Watch As The Walkmen Cover R.E.M.'s "Driver 8"

As you already know, the A.V. Club has featured bands covering other artists for quite awhile now. The challenge has came from the list of choices dwindling down to the last few.

The Walkman got the very last song-by their choice might add. They volunteered to be the goat a few songs ago, which tells you a lot about those guys. This isn't saying that "Driver 8" was the worst song left of the bunch, either. It may not have worked as well stylistically as some others. Actually, it's pretty solid. They handle the task well.

Hear The Killers Brandon Flowers Solo Album Preview

Brandon Flowers debut solo album, Flamingo will be out in mid-September. Right now, Spin is giving us :45 clips of every track on the album. I have to say, it's not bowling me over. It's not as synth heavy as some of The Killers stuff, but very poppy. Also, the expected over glossy production still remains. Check it out.

Hear the Lost Jay-Z/Chris Martin Track "Most Kingz"

The Green Lantern Mixtape is out now, featuring another lost track with Chris Martin of Coldplay and Jay-Z. We go from "Beach Chair" to "Most Kingz," a song that was missing a beat, and finally found after four years of being on the shelf.

Behind the Scenes-The Debate Continues-Should Radio Play Cee-Lo Green's "F-You"

I've asked a few radio industry friends about the debate of playing Cee-Lo Green's"F-You" on the radio, with the distilled "Forget You" version. I don't see how you can do it, and keep the heart of the song intact. Not to mention a few N-words and "shit" being thrown in at least a few more times.

However, with 3 million YouTube streams, before the proper video release and a Top 25 appearance on iTunes, it's hard to ignore.

Without all of the lyrical problems, the song itself is a hit single. However, in today's  radio climate of sensitivity, it's likely going to scare progammers away. Not to mention the Hot AC/Top 40 formats that it's fit for-won't touch it, because you're mostly dealing with soccer Mom's and their daughters.  

The New York Times takes a bigger look.

New Arcade Fire Video Is A Trip Through Google Street View-And Your Own Past

To say that the new Arcade Fire video is interactive would be downplaying it quite a bit. In fact, you personalize Google Street View to your own childhood address, which leaves a mark. Google Chrome and Safari are highly recommended for the windows of your past that will pop up throughout for "We Used To Wait."

Stereogum has it.

Watch the New Interpol Video-"Barricade"

It's not their strongest single ever, but it's still above average.

It's Interpol's new track "Barricade" that now comes with official video. Lead singer Paul Banks fills the torsos of women's stomachs, via projector. Oh, and the band plays.
