2007-11-06 13:20 Radiohead Rainbows CD Due Via ATO New Year's Day
Band to play webcast Downloads to land band mad cash Story to include periods You can already expect a hefty Radiohead box set and/or the clunkiest-looking USB drive ever under your pan-religious holiday tree this season, but what to do with all those gift cards and store return credits Looks like you just might be able to use them to complete your box set, as the unconfirmed word is that In Rainbows will indeed hit U.S. shops in CD form via ATO/Side One -- and what's more, it may well do so Jan …

2007-11-06 11:35 On Repeat: Grizzly Bear: "Little Brother (Electric)" [Stream]
On the just-released Friend EP, Grizzly Bear's "Little Brother" gets born again, "electric". What was-- on last year's stunning Yellow House -- a wispy, acoustic guitar-led piece of pastoral psych-pop is now an obliterating elemental force. It's a standout from the Brooklyn group's latest record, an unusually accomplished artistic statement disguised as a throwaway odds 'n' sods ('n' guest covers) disc. But you don't have take my word for it. Awarding the album 8.5 and Best New Music honors, Pit …

2007-11-06 10:47 News: LSF's Harrington Plays Mosquito in Commercial
Hairest. Insect. Ever. Les Savy Fav frontman Tim Harrington is one of the most charismatic live performers we've ever seen. He's a natural actor, sacrificing his body and dignity to his craft. And now, he's utilizing that same Method technique to play a mosquito in a PSA for the Nothing But Nets campaign. Nothing But Nets is an organization dedicated to fighting malaria in Africa by raising money to buy insecticide-treated bed nets that protect against malaria-carrying mosquitoes. This VH1-spons …

2007-11-05 16:07 Video Premiere: Sigur Rós: "Heima" (excerpt from Heima)
Comparisons between the music and the landscape come easily for this video of "Heima", taken from the forthcoming Sigur Rós documentary of the same name (also available without visuals on the Hvarf/Heim double CD). Pitchfork's Amanda Petrusich recently captured the look of the film in the words " stupidly gorgeous ," and this clip hints at the reasons why. Canadian director Dean DeBlois lets the lens hover over arresting images as if they were photographs: whether Jón Por ("Jónsi") Birgisson's d …

Photo by Kathryn Yu The piano: not just the instrument PJ Harvey has embraced in earnest on her latest opus-- the haunting White Chalk -- but also the upcoming second single from said album. "The Piano"-- which, amusingly, is a song played on guitar and zither-- drops on UK audiences November 26 via Island/Universal in digital and limited edition 7" formats. Polly's past and present collide on this release, which comes backed with "Heaven", a tune she wrote and recorded way back in 1988. That's …

They return to the States in December for a handful of gigs, capping things off with their "last NYC show of 2007" at the city's Mercury Lounge on the 15th of that month.

If you want to file this under a mocking Stereogum-like: "Hey, Movie Stars Like Music Too!" we won't blame you (maybe file it under: light and fluffy for Friday). But for better or worse, this is what we do. Entertainment Weekly has an interview with " Control" actress Samantha Morton ("Morvern Callar," "In America") and she reveals in the piece that her taste is not unlike the enthusiasts at Pitchfork or Stereogum. The actress said when preparing for roles she'll listen to certain music to help …

You've probably heard about the Todd Haynes-directed Bob Dylan biopic I'm Not There, which is hitting theaters this November. The film should be interesting, but around here we're even more curious about the 2xCD soundtrack, which includes Dylan covers from, like, a billion artists that we've loved here on Pitchfork (Stephen Malkmus, the Hold Steady, Karen O, Antony and the Johnsons, Yo La Tengo, the Black Keys, Iron and Wine, etc. etc. etc.) Four tracks are now streaming in their entirety over …

Last week Pitchfork news reported on a new Panda Bear DVD and download available from the Eattapes website. It turns out that Mike, the owner of the site, regularly shoots bands as they tour through Philadelphia. He captured Caribou's set the week before last at the First Unitarian Church. As we see from this clip of the band performing "Skunks", a chiming nugget of instrumental rock goodness from the Manitoba era, the dude knows something about making a nice-looking live video with quality soun …

For the accompanying CD to the latest issue of art and culture magazine Esopus, a disparate group of musicians was asked to write songs based on dreams, transcribed and submitted by the magazine's subscribers. Dave Longstreth of Dirty Projectors is no stranger to the idea of prompts, and this one is far less ridiculous than the ones he's come up with himself (not to take away from the consistently stunning results, of course.) It's surprising (but hardly disappointing) that this, compared to mos …

Pittsburgh laptop mixmaster Girl Talk, aka Gregg Gillis, kept festival attendees' hands waving well past dusk. Gillis is already renowned for his batshit live shows, but seeing some of our favorite artists playing in front of thousands of people never fails to be one of the festival's biggest thrills. Here, Gillis starts with beats from Clipse's "Wamp Wamp" …

Not only are they ridiculously good, they've also offered their four-song demo, Wizard of Ahhhs, for free on their MySpace page. Sweet.

Prior to that, Ed was mentioning that Little Abbey was transgendered (i.e. a boy stuck in a girl's body). I know where this came from...Oprah had that as a topic of …

I file this one under "well...duh" because, quite simply, I find it incredibly ridiculous that the officials of Riverside, NJ didn't realize that cracking down on illegal immigrants would have any sort of economic or social impact. First, the ban: A little more than a year ago, the Township Committee in this faded factory town became the first municipality in New Jersey to enact legislation penalizing anyone who employed or rented to an illegal immigrant. The effects Within months, hundreds, if …
