“Radiohead premiered their hour-long episode of From the Basement — featuring the band performing selections from The King of Limbs, along with two new tracks — on British television in July. But it has not been available online (it was quickly yanked when it hit the web on July 10) until now. Watch the gorgeously-shot episode for a limited time on their YouTube page — or below.

The set offers one of the most intimate looks at the band ever: It’s a blast to watch them discuss the setlist and take breaks in between filming. The music ain’t bad either. Highlights include Yorke debuting the mournful ballad “The Daily Mail” — as gorgeous and haunting as classics like “You and Whose Army” — and the groove-oriented Limbs stunner “Separator,” which sends the singer into some of his trademark, goofy-looking convulsions. Big-ups to Radiohead for finally sharing!”

Let’s go away for a while. This sounds like fun with a capital W!

“That’s right – weezer is hitting the open seas. It’s going to be our own floating music festival on a cruise ship. … All of the bands will be performing in stages around the ship, festival style, so you can catch any or all of them during the entire trip to Cozumel and back.”

The Autumn Film are no strangers to evade. Last year I wrote of a full review of their album The Ship and the Sea, and I still enjoy that album. In fact, I would argue it’s one of the most under-appreciated albums of 2010.

Lately, it looks like The Autumn Film have been spending some time in the studio, and they would like to release their new album but are short on dough. They’ve begun a Kickstarter project (video above) in hopes of bringing in $8,008 to complete a new album their calling 8-Track Tape. If you have enjoyed their music and think this is something you could help out with, then head over to the project page and pledge them some cash. If you’ve never heard them before, head over to www.theautumnfilm.com and download some of their free releases.

The band Dream Theater has had an interesting year. In September, Mike Portnoy, the founding member of the band and world-renowned drummer extraordinaire announced he would be leaving the group to pursue other projects. The band announced they would continue on. They still planned to record an album in January, and they still planned a tour to support the new album. They would just have to find a new drummer before all of that could take place.

On April 29th, a post on the band’s website announced that Mike Mangini had been chosen to fill the void left by Portnoy. Since the announcement, Dream Theater has been putting the final touches (and I assume recording the drum tracks) on their newest album, appropriately titled A Dramatic Turn of Events. The album is scheduled to be released on September 13th (five days after the anniversary of Portnoy’s departure).

A month ago, the first single from A Dramatic Turn of Events was released on Roadrunner Records’ YouTube page. Entitled On the Back’s of Angels, the song runs nearly 9-minutes, and is classic Dream Theater (think Metropolis Part 2: Scenes From a Memory and Images and Words). On this song at least, Portnoy’s influence (or drumming) isn’t missed.

Dream Theater is described as a “progressive metal” band and has been creating music for over 25 years. The group is comprised of James LaBrie (vocals), John Myung (bass), John Petrucci (guitars), Mike Mangini (drums), and Jordan Rudess (keyboards). A Dramatic Turn of Events will be their 11th studio album.

40 minutes of garage rock featuring the Foo Fighters. I think I just wet myself.

Seriously, these guys are the “Pixar” of viral music videos. Check out OK Go’s latest video for “All is not Lost” below. If you havent seen their videos before, check’em all out. This time around, it’s a human kaleidoscope and its awesome! And I think they just invented a new font. Create your own messages here.

Evade had a nice little interview with The CO last year and has been a fan ever since. And just this week, they released their long-awaited 3 song EP titled “Camo.” Loving the title track. Follow The CO on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and YouTube for more info.

This new endeavor looks to be half greatest hits and half unreleased miscellaneous stuff. And from the pretty thorough info release on benfolds.com, I must say I’m excited.

“Legacy Recordings is proud to announce the release of Ben Folds The Best Imitation of Myself: A Retrospective, the long-awaited career-spanning anthology chronicling the musical adventures of pops quintessential post-modern singer-songwriter-pianist, available everywhere Tuesday, October 11.”

This looks great. Check out the Trailer.

“Pearl Jam Twenty chronicles the years leading up to the bands formation, the chaos that ensued soon-after their rise to megastardom, their step back from center stage, and the creation of a trusted circle that would surround them-giving way to a work culture that would sustain them. Told in big themes and bold colors with blistering sound, the film is carved from over 1,200 hours of rarely-seen and never-before seen footage spanning the bands career. Pearl Jam Twenty is the definitive portrait of Pearl Jam: part concert film, part intimate insider-hang, part testimonial to the power of music and uncompromising artists.”
