Ambling about the music blogs, and then crossing over to w.a.s.t.e central, one uncovers the song Radiohead debuted in Dublin last week, "Super Collider".
Via Deaf Indie Elephants and their "exclusive" (meaning them and everyone else checking the radiohead site?) post about the portishead cover. I like the latest version on w.a.s.t.e central, also on youtube:

fuckintosh!!
as i let copernic index my tablet, i thought "why not see if there is anything more out there about fuckintosh?"
And guess what?
there ain't.
This is a shame - this twisted mash up madness is sometimes sublime.
The name alone - Fuckintosh (aka Codek's Fa Ventilato) - was enough to draw me in, and the photocopied covers added to the mystique. When I saw "Kraftwerk vs. the Beatles", and for $9.99, I knew I was in for something...
Currently
, I have said album streaming forth...and it is just ridiculous. I can barely place some of the tones, but they usually flow together just beautifully - the machine-melody rhythms of Kraftwerk are laid under unnervingly fun chops of Beatles riffs, snippets of a lyric, or perhaps even just a sound. And sometimes I simply can't tell what is from who, or if he's actually got both going on or not...but it barely matters. Track 7 (none of the black disc's tracks bear titles) is a repetition of a gently strummed guitar and bass line, with some tom and snare patches - and a grating hvac sound coming in and out, beautifully punctuating the smoothness of the beatles clip. it's like floating through a chaotic parking lot in a glowing translucent marshmallow cocoon..until the robotic tendrils tear your soft little coffin apart at the very end and make you part and parcel a piece of the machine. Stunning. and then into a repeating "ju-ju" from the beginning of "come together".
Found it at other music and returned this week for "Criminal Edits" - also quite good, but only got one or two listens before the office monster swallowed it whole and spat it out into a permanent memory hole somewhere under my desk. Bastard.
But now it's "Blackbird" distorted over a smoothly shiny driving beat...track 10, possibly my favorite of this disc.
Recommended if you can find it - he has a a list of stores on his label's site - Killing Music At Home
