Whilst listening to the new Jesus Christ cassingle in bed tonight and staring at the ceiling of your suburban cocoon, remember the remix that launched HRO's career as a meaningful artist/DJ back in early 2k8.
Produced by Butter Team with footage courtesy of GroceryBag.TV, this new video examines how teens use technology to experiment with self-expression, and expose their hopes and fears for the world to see. This is 'what it's like' growing up in the YouTube era.
Radiohead - Nude (Hipster Runoff remix)
"Jesus Christ" (the indie band) - Is This Really What You Want?

My favorite part of today was when C-SPAN rocked a completely silent minute-plus of Cheney rolling out once and for all in his manual Rascal. Got a little meta/misty thinking about the jokes that write themselves, many of which can already be found in the comments section at Wonkette. It was boring with no sound, though, so instead we invite you to enjoy the inspirational Go Team! backing. Gets me every time.
Thom Yorke - Down is the New Up (From the Basement Sessions, 2006)
Can't say Cut Copy's "Far Away" could possibly be improved upon or that I'd rather listen to any of these remixes over the original, but you can be the judge on that. The important thing is we're celebrating victorious radness in all of its forms today (Radiohead are also marking the occasion with a semi-fresh rmx of "Harrowdown Hill" via Dead Air Space, mp3 here).
Far Away (Ring Trick Rmx)
Far Away (Bag Raiders Rmx)
Far Away (ddpesh Rmx)
Update: Even more Far Away remixes
And for the sixteenth time, we plug the unofficial BT video for this song, which shall remain the default until they actually make one:
You may also enjoy throwing on the elbow-padded tweed whilst perusing our vast, leather-bound Cutters archives for additional pre-weekend morsels.
A few weeks ago an enterprising young bloke named Brendan Merrick sent us his first rmx ever for the Reckoner Remix contest, and it was/is dope but we just didn't get around to posting it. Today we check the boards and homey is #2!!! Safe. Sample below and vote him up above the glitchtronica.
Radiohead - Wreckin' Er (Smash the B Rmx)
Also pretty crescenfresh:
Radiohead - Reckoner (Rune RK Rmx)
It'd be a whole lot cooler if B&S would just start making another album instead of releasing a 1996-2001 BBC comp, but as they have nothing else planned at the moment we'll take what we can get and like it. This is available via Matador 11/17.
Track listing:
Disc 1 – Radio Sessions: The State I Am In, Like Dylan In The Movies, Judy and the Dream of Horses, The Stars of Track and Field, I Could Be Dreaming, Seymour Stein, Lazy Jane, Sleep The Clock Around, Slow Graffiti, Wrong Love, Shoot The Sexual Athlete, The Magic of a Kind Word, (My Girls Got) Miraculous Technique
Disc 2 – Live in Belfast: Here Comes The Sun, Theres Too Much Love, The Magic of a Kind Word, Me and the Major, Wandering Alone, The Model, Im Waiting For The Man, The Boy With the Arab Strap, The Wrong Girl, Dirty Dream #2, Boys Are Back in Town, Legal Man
The four songs from 2001 – The Magic of a Kind Word, Nothing In The Silence, Shoot The Sexual Athlete and (My Girl’s Got) Miraculous Technique, have never previously been available on CD or vinyl and capture the band at the end of their first chapter (i.e. Stuart and Isobel had just broken up and were performing songs about their failed relationship next to each other). And of course Isobel peaced out shortly afterwards.
Belle and Sebastian - The Boy With the Arab Strap (4/25/99)
Belle and Sebastian - Live on KEXP (3/25/06)
Random: did you know Belle et Sébastien was a novel by hottie French actress Cécile Aubry starring a six-year-old boy named Sébastien and his dog Belle, a Pyrenean Mountain Dog? And that this was made into a French live-action television series in 1965, and then a Japanese anime version nearly two decades later that you can now watch right now? I usually start every morning off with Air Wolf but this might be even more upbeat.
BBC extras:
The Zombies - This Old Heart of Mine (Isley Brothers cover, 1966)
The Damned - Neat Neat Neat (Peel session, 1976)
Pavement - Killing Moon (Echo & the Bunnymen cover, 1997*)
Radiohead - How To Disappear Completely (BBC Remix, 2002)
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Cigarettes (BBC, 2006)
*Included in Pavement's final Major Leagues EP and soon to be part of their Brighten The Corners: Nicene Creedence Ed. reissue.
We thought the Nude remix wars were over, but this late entry may be the most interesting yet. Analog badass James Houston says:
"Radiohead held an online contest to remix 'Nude' from their album - In Rainbows. This was quite a difficult task for all the electronic musicians that entered, as 'Nude' is in 6/8 timing, and 63bpm. Most music that's played in clubs is around 120bpm and usually 4/4 timing. It's near impossible to mix a waltz beat into a DJ set.
This resulted in lots of generic entries consisting of a typical 4/4 beat, but with arbitrary clips from 'Nude' thrown in so that they qualified for the contest. I decided to take the piss a bit, as the contest seemed to be in that spirit.
I grouped together a collection of old redundant hardware, and placed them in a situation where they're trying their best to do something that they're not exactly designed to do, and not quite getting there. It doesn't sound great, as it's not supposed to."
The band:
Sinclair ZX Spectrum - Guitars (rhythm & lead)
Epson LX-81 Dot Matrix Printer - Drums
HP Scanjet 3c - Bass Guitar
Hard Drive array - A collection of bad speakers - Vocals & FX
You may have to fast forward a bit:
Radiohead - Nude (James Houston Rmx)
Before you get any big ideas around the office, please check with IT.
We laid up in the cut last fortnight when Radiohead announced a scratch up rodeo for "Nude" b/c the news was already on Alan Thicke's Tumblr before we could twitter "Boner 4 Prez." But we've been listening from an anonymous swivel villain chair w/ white cat and power glove, and here's our favorite so far by far:
Nude - Hipster Runoff Mix

Radiohead - Big Ideas (Nude - acoustic live 12/4/03)
Although various heady jams that would appear on In Rainbows trickled out several years prior, including "Arpeggi" and "House of Cards" in 2005, the first taste came with Thom Yorke's breathtaking solo acoustic encore "Big Ideas" on the last night of their 2003 tour supporting Hail to the Thief. Of course this stripped-down version later became "Nude" - and the fact that Radiohead can sit on songs this good for that long makes you wonder what's in the vault.
Radiohead - Big Ideas (Nude - acoustic live 12/4/03)
Thom Yorke - Reckoner (acoustic live on Johnathan Ross)
While we're on big ideas, LCD Soundsystem offers a new suburban treadmill motivator via the 21 soundtrack arriving 3/14, per usual James Murphy builds steam using only handclaps and a grain of salt.

Thanks Radiohead. Send Me Dead Flowers has a few mp3s from the performance you can download, or visit Radiohead's YouTube channel to see the whole thing or watch individual songs.
Jigsaw Falling Into Place:
Watching this on TV was nice, but we're holding out for a possible stateside visit this year as well (so far only European stops have been scheduled). In the meantime, pick up In Rainbows in stores or enjoy this heady retro jam.
Radiohead - Knives Out (acoustic live 2003)
Great animated take on classic Radiohead.
Radiohead - Creep (Acoustic)
Another take on creeps at the office; if you've ever thought Dane Cook was funny and like Halo, which would peg you at a pretty predictable demographic of male in your 20s, this might be one of the best things you've ever seen. Otherwise please scroll down to the next post and enjoy some Deborah on Deborah action.
Now let us run through haunted forests with unmelting technicolor ice cream sangwiches and listen to weekend beats.
Let us nestle by hearth's edge in only the squeakiest yellow rubber rain boots with adventurous dusty tomes. Let us take long trips on the short wave. Let us save up energy for Of Montreal on Sunday.
Zookeeper - Trumpets
Bon Iver - Skinny Love
The Zombies - Don't Go Away
Radiohead - House of Cards
Sleeping States - September, Maybe
Iron and Wine - House by the Sea
It's beautiful to see rabid Radiohead fans across the world denying themselves sleep in the middle of a week waiting for their precious download link to appear in the inbox (finally appeared around 7am this morning and the race was on).
Puddlegum says, "Ten years after OK Computer shocked the world, Radiohead released In Rainbows on October 10 (10/10). Though no one was expecting the album to be released until 2008, Radiohead announced In Rainbows just ten days in advance. In Rainbows, which consists of ten letters, has ten tracks, and would be downloadable from a rumored ten servers. In September, Radiohead began to send nine cryptic messages to their fans. One image was titled Xendless Xurbia, with hundreds of white arrows pointing up, each with a black arrow pointing down. Coincidentally, one of Radiohead’s new songs is called Down Is The New Up. Interestingly enough, X is the Roman Numeral for ten. The tenth cryptic message will be posted today, October 10."
