English Translation:

"The score Jonny Greenwood composed for Paul Thomas Anderson's new film, The Master, will be available on September 11th through Nonesuch Records - the label that has released all of his most recent works.

The soundtrack will feature 11 new pieces from Greenwood - performed by the London Contemporary Orchestra - and 4 more songs from artists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Madisen Beaty, Helen Forest, and Jo Stafford.

The album can be preordered now through Nonesuch's online store. By doing so, you can immediately receive a link to download the piece "'Application 45, Version 1'". 

I love how, sometimes, outside noise can improve the overall quality of a Radiohead song.

A few hours ago, I was listening to "Codex" while taking a walk outside. Off in the distance, I could hear cicadas buzzing in the distance. The droning sound of their chirps added to the ambient quality of the song, so I just listened to them as if they were instruments being used in the song.

There have been several occasions where that kind of thing has happened. It reminded me of how experimental the band's music can be, and that the tiniest sound could change the mood of a song altogether.

The Bonnaroo 2012 schedule is up! Radiohead will be going on at 10 p.m. (CST) on June 8th and will be playing until midnight June 9th.

Looks like I know what I'm doing tomorrow night. ;)

One of the biggest mysteries surrounding Radiohead, for me at least, is the story behind the anime character on Jonny's Telecaster Plus.

Pictured here:

I know that the character is from an anime called Attack No. 1, but not much else. You can read about the anime here:

If anyone knows about the origin of the illustration, such as why Jonny decided to put it on his guitar, please leave a comment below.

Thank you very much. :)

Uno de los misterios más grandes que rodea a Radiohead, a menos de para mi, es la historia del personaje anime en el Telecaster Plus de Jonny.

La foto con la illustración está allí arriba.

Sé que el personaje es de un anime se llama Attack No. 1, pero nada más. Lean del anime aquí:

Si alguien que sepa sobre el origen de la illustración, como por qué Jonny decidió a ponerla en su guitarra, pongan un comentario por favor. 

Muchas gracias. :)

So the station that got me into Radiohead all those months ago is now being bought out by some company called ClearChannel. It has something to do with the FCC, but I never bothered to look into the details.

Just now, I was listening to the last show of one of the DJs there and she and her guest were just letting loose with their complaints on the station being bought out. They didn't care; they were going off the air anyway. I felt a sort of catharsis as I was listening to them. Screw the censors, right?

I actually have to thank my sister for introducing me to that station. She likes it more than me, since I have more of a tendency to listen to the classic rock stations. Still, any station in my area that plays "How Soon is Now?" by The Smiths is certainly one to tune in to.

But despite the brief period of time that I've been listening to them, I had fun. Their out-of-the-ordinary selections kept me company while I waited for yet another playing of "Free Bird" to whizz by one of the classic rock stations. I may have heard them play Radiohead only once (and to my surprise, it wasn't "Creep"!), but that moment added another surreal detour on my road through life and helped me from going crazy this past spring semester.

So thanks, WFNX. I hope some trite Country station or political talk radio doesn't take you over.
