August 6th update!!!

Hi Everybody! Just to re-cap - we have been in touch with Radiohead management and learned that Scott Johnson's family decided to set up Scott Johnson Bursary for Young Musicians. It took quite sometime for them to get the website in place but it finally happened. We are in the process of transferring the funds we have raised thus far to this new fund: as per Scott's family, the idea is that this will be THE ONLY fund, so we are following their wishes:

http://scottjohnsonbursary.com/

Dear friends of Scott,

It has been heart-warming to receive the kind wishes from you all.

We have had many requests for donations in place of flowers and have set up an account that will be the Scott Johnson Bursary for Young Musicians. This will be managed by his friends locally as a fund primarily in Rotherham Schools.

It was not our intention to create this nor wish his friends to spend money that none of us can afford in these difficult times. We hoped that it would be modest but already some companies and teachers want to offer products and services that will benefit these musicians.

Frankly we cannot equate to the financial aspects but if it helps anyone to contribute in this way the account is established to ensure that no other fund is created in error. It may take a while, but we will keep you informed on how the money is spent in due course.

Thank you all,

Ken and Sue Johnson

If you have not donated yet - please follow the link above. If you have - rest assured that we are working with the family and Radiohead management to transfer the moneys. THANK YOU so much for your generous support.

June 26 update!!

Hi guys - just to let you all know, we have been in touch with Radiohead management; there will be a person from Scott's family who we will work with to transfer the funds that we raised; it will happen a bit later once more pressing and ...sad events (funeral and all...) get sorted out. So if you have not donated yet, and were considering it - there is still time to do it. And thank you so much again!!

 UPDATE!!!

we migrated to a much more user friendly site as listed below - and the international donations are supposed to be working smoothly now!! All donations received through the earlier link will be combined with into a GRAND total.

thanks for your patience while we were troubleshooting their web interface!

----------------------

As most of you guys heard, a terrible accident happened yesterday in Toronto Downsview park, about 1 hr before doors opened: the stage collapsed, and with it, it took the life of one of the Radiohead crew members. Scott Johnson, the drums tech, was instantly killed in the accident.

For those of us, fans, who have been traveling to multiple gigs, the death of the RH crew member is something that we feel very strongly about. We would like to do something to express our feelings to Scott's family, to the band, because we are all connected...
Maria, who many of you know from spending hours in queues, spearheaded this FUND - to raise money for Scott's family or whichever charity they would choose. So here it is:

If you'd like to donate anything - please go ahead. 

And thank you all.

Les comparto una nota que escribi para una pagina de Mexico sobre música. Espero que les guste!

http://el-tributo.com/video/un-tributo-a-radiohead-by-marygui-and-piel-reloj/

English version: 

Here’s the first piece of work I made with Emanuel Mendez (PielReloj), it’s a cover of one of our favorite Radiohead’s songs, There There.  It has become the bridge between my city and Manu’s city. We’ve been working from our houses without meeting each other, even once, since February.

Piel Reloj is a musician and a sound engineer. He’s a perfectionist and a meticulous great artist. We “met” via blogspot last year when Radiohead shot us with their new album The King of Limb. If you want to listen to his other pieces of work you should check out his Facebook page, Twitter, Soundcloud or G+ under the name of Piel Reloj.

We started recording the basic guitar and the monotron, then the voices, percussion, the guitar solo and the bass. We wanted to reconstruct the percussion set with atypical “instruments”, and I can assure you that there’s no pan in this house that haven’t been hit. Finally, we decided to use bongo, eggs, tambourine, a microphone briefcase, sticks and a Telecaster.

The sound edition was in charge of Manu, and the video was in my hands. It took a lot of time, about three months; the downloadings of the video files seemed to be eternal. We were really anxious, but all he adrenaline and the excitement have made our working time an amazing experience.

We really hope you enjoy our cover as much as we did making it!

We’re working in a project together called Anybody There, for more information please check out our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/anybodytheremusic or our Twitter @Anybody__There

Ok computer 15y Tribute - Brazil 

Diesel Pop Drink - Lucky - "Ok Computer" tribute from DieselPopDrink on Vimeo.

Since we formed Diesel Pop Drink back in 2010, our largest common
influence has always been Radiohead. And when 2012 first arrived, it
became clear that it was almost a duty for us to pay tribute to the
15th anniversary of the album that is deemed as one of the most
important albums of alternative rock and the '90s (and also of our own
lives): OK Computer.

Our concert brings back the classic songs and the complex sounds of
the original album, and we decided to perform it in its entirety and
with minimal pre-recorded sounds. Even 'Fitter Happier' is not merely
boiled down to a sample: we decided to recreate the layers and give
the audience an opportunity to understand what happens behind its
sound waves.

After months of hard work, we now have the chance to present the
Brazilian fans with this tribute to such a special album. We've done a
preview in a studio, with a small audience (see an excerpt video attached) and now we are bringing this show to other houses here in
São Paulo. And why not, perhaps even to other cities and states.

Diesel Pop Drink website

DIESEL POP DRINK: TRIBUTE TO OK COMPUTER
Location: OUTS (R. Augusta, 486 São Paulo - BRAZIL)
Date: 30/june (Saturday), midnight
Price: R$ 20 (entrance) or R$ 40 (consummation)

Desde quando formamos o Diesel Pop Drink, em 2010, nossa maior
influência em comum sempre foi o Radiohead. E quando chegou 2012,
ficou claro que era quase um dever homenagearmos os 15 anos daquele
que é considerado um dos discos mais importantes do rock alternativo e
dos anos 90 (e também das nossas vidas): OK Computer.

Nosso show resgata as canções antológicas e os timbres complexos do
disco original, e decidimos executá-lo na íntegra e com o mínimo
possível de sons pré-gravados. Nem mesmo 'Fitter Happier' se resume a
um sample: decidimos recriar as camadas e dar ao público a
oportunidade de compreender o que ocorre por trás daquelas ondas
sonoras.

Depois de meses de trabalho duro, agora temos a chance de presentear
os fãs brasileiros com esse tributo a um disco tão especial. Já
fizemos uma prévia em estúdio, com uma pequena plateia (veja um trecho AQUI) e agora vamos levar esse show para outras casas aqui de São
Paulo. E por que não, até mesmo a outras cidades e estados.

Nosso site : Diesel Pop Drink

Thanks to all of you who have sent messages of support over these past couple of weeks. 

Scott has touched many people’s lives and all your sentiments are testament to this.

Our thoughts and love remain with Scott’s family.

TODAY IS COLIN'S BIRTHDAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLIN!

MANY BLESSING, MUCH PEACE, HAPPINESS!

WE WISH YOU HAVE REALLY A VERY GOOD DAY, PARTY!

MAY COLIN A LONG LIFE!

THANK YOU FOR ALL, COLIN!!!

The Raveonettes have been working with producer Richard Gottehrer (Blondie, Go-Go’s) on their sixth record, and today the first single from the new album, Observator, emerged. The spacious, haunting track is called [interestingky enough] 'Observations' -- a piano-led cut that explores echoey textures. You really get a sense of the band's spatial awareness. Grab it below.

Album is out Sept. 11th on Vice Records. Check their tour dates too and show some love when in town:

Tour Dates:
09/21 – Portland, OR @ Hawthorne Theatre
09/22 – Seattle, WA @ Neumo’s
09/23 – Vancouver, BC @ Venue
09/26 – Minneapolis, MN @ Triple Rock
09/27 – Chicago, IL @ Lincoln Hall
09/28 – St. Louis, MO @ The Firebird

The Raveonettes - Observations

I was not spying, I was observing. I dabble in observalating--a purveyor of observalatilism.

A day after The Antlers teased their forthcoming Undersea EP with the lush ethereal jam 'Drift Dive', the trio unleashed another cut called 'Crest' [this morning to be specific]. It’s a somewhat glitchy, sample-laden affair that explores similar sonic territory as 'Drift Dive'. Remember the underwater dystopia from the first Bioshock game? Their audio newness would be a perfect addition to the soundtrack exploring the ruined town (as opposed to the scenes where mutants try to claw your face off).

Undersea is out 7/24 in the U.S. on Anti- and 7/30 in the UK on Transgressive.

Tracklist:
01. Drift Dive
02. Endless Ladder
03. Crest
04. Zelda

Hello to Montreal Radiohead fans from the 'Glastonbury T-shirt'  fan who flew all the way from Scotland to share this concert with you !! Thank you to all the lovely people I met. It made it such a special experience I will never forget. I have never heard a crowd sing and cheer so loud !! Radiohead seemed so HAPPY that night :) Keep in touch and if any of you come to the UK for RADIOHEAD at the O2 London or Glastonbury Festival 2013 let me know !!! love and peace from Scotland x

Here is a video I took .... Happy memories live forever !!!!

Mexico´s people is almost free of years of oppression..

The next July 1st, people is going to decide their future. Finally, we have a good candidate for the precedence of Mexico. Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who is fighting against a small group of rich and corrupt people who have been doing whatever they want under a mask made of fake democracy, when the truth is that they don't care about nothing but money, no matter the people, the earth, the future...

Im not sure, but I have the feeling that radiohead is aware of the situation... I will show you a couple of pictures from Coachella 2012, weekend 2. they are wearing two México´s flags at their gear box, just next to the Tibet flag (left). If this is true, THANKS FOR THAT GUYS!

Two México´s flags

Tibet and México´s flags

I have the feeling that this is the opportunity, things are changing in Mexico, people has awakened :)

This is a link of international news that the local TV companies (monopolies) doesn't show in Mexico. Fortunately, other countries like England is publishing it... amazing isn't it? 

Click here:

The guardian: News about corruption of the group of power controlling México since 1929

Thanks too everyone for your time of reading.

P.S. I support the candidate because I have read about everyone and Im convinced about him, however, I respect any opinion. 

やあ、みんな。

トロントの公演でステージの屋根が崩壊してしまって、

仲間のひとり、スコット・ジョンソンが亡くなり、

他にも3名のスタッフが怪我を負ったことはもう聞いているだろう。

その崩壊のせいで照明設備も破壊されてしまって…これは他にない特別なものだから、

新たに用意するのにとても時間がかかってしまう。

それに機材も、一部は数十年物なので替えを探すのが困難な状態なんだ。

-

とはいえ、この恐ろしい事故から引き起こされた悲しみと衝撃に対処しているけれども、

扱うべき現実的な問題がたくさんあって、それに向けて努力するとともに、

この後の公演日程を変更しなければならなくなった。

-

6月

30日 イタリア、ローマ/Hippodrome Capanelle

-

7月

1日 イタリア、フィレンツェ / Parco delle Cascine

3日 イタリア、ボローニャ / Arena Parco Nord

4日 イタリア、コドローイポ / Villa Manin

6日 ドイツ、ベルリン / Wulheide

7日 ドイツ、ベルリン /Wulhedie

9日 スイス、サン・トリフォン / Carriere des Andonces

-

これらの公演の新しい日程について6月27日水曜日に発表できるよう目指していて、

そして新しい日程に来られない人たちのためにチケット払い戻しについての情報も提供するつもりだ。

ライブの再開はLes Arenes Nimes(フランス 7/10)、Bilbao BBK festival(スペイン 7/13)、

Lisbon Optimus Alive festival(ポルトガル 7/15)を予定している。

この現状で可能な限り最善の公演をファンに届けられるようあらゆる努力をしていく－

君たちの理解と支援に感謝しているよ。

Hello everyone,

As you will probably have heard the roof over the stage collapsed at our show in Toronto killing crew member Scott Johnson and injuring three other crew members. The collapse also destroyed the light show – this show was unique and will take many weeks to replace. The collapse also caused serious damage to our backline, some elements of which are decades old and therefore hard to replace.

-

Whilst we all are dealing with the grief and shock ensuing from this terrible accident there are also many practical considerations to deal with & consequently we have to try and reschedule the following shows:

-

June

30 Roma Hippodrome Capanelle

-

July

1 Firenze Parco delle Cascine

3 Bologna Arena Parco Nord

4 Codroipo Villa Manin

6 Berlin Wulheide

7 Berlin Wulhedie

9 St Triphon Carriere des Andonces

-

We aim to announce the new dates for these shows on Wednesday 27th of June and will also supply information on how to obtain refunds on tickets if you cannot come to the show on the new date.

-

We will start playing live again at Les Arenes Nimes, Bilbao BBK festival and Lisbon Optimus Alive festival.

-

We will make every effort to offer the fans the very best show possible under the circumstances – thanks for your understanding and support.
