Radiohead Live in Concert: NPR Music Podcast
If I could get away with just linking to National Public Radio music articles all day, I might. But posting on this one was simply beyond my control.
NPR's Bob Boilen takes us back to Radiohead's August 28th concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl in California for a 2-hour performance of epic proportions.
The band brilliantly showcases it's latest effort, In Rainbows, while scouring it's extensive catalog for old favorites and deep tracks alike. Every song manages to sound meticulously practiced, yet completely spontaneous. Decade-old singles are rejuvinated as if being played for the first time.
The result is a spectacularly atmospheric retrospect of the band's career, and NPR's live recording of the show captures the quality and sheer intimacy of the moment.
Boilen compares the show to the first time he saw Pink Floyd perform Dark Side of the Moon, saying, "Radiohead's show at the Santa Barbara Bowl came as close for musicianship and creativity as any show I've seen in 37 years. I've seen a lot of shows."

Earth To Andy - 'Still After You'
Earth To Andy was one of those bands that released a pretty decent album, and then just up and called it quits. 'Still After You' was the stand out single from Chronicle Kings, and it screamed crunchy guitar, orchestral crescendo, and a guttural vocal. For the brief time it was played on the radio, the tune was pretty ultimate.
