The Hot Five – My views on five tracks that have attracted my interest in any given week, usually with an older track thrown in the mix for something a bit different. Tracks usually concentrate on guitar-based releases, but really focusing on anything and everything that comes to my attention. … Continue Reading
We’ve spent the last two days unveiling numbers 50-11 in our top 50 songs of 2011, and now the time has come to unveil what Muso’s Guide’s hefty panel of writers nominated as their top 10 songs released this year. It’s been a pretty diverse selection thus far, and the top end of the chart is no different. … Continue Reading

Anyone Can Play Guitar
By Kenny McMurtrie
November 29, 2011
When was the last time Mark Gardener was asked to turn it down by an annoyed old biddy? Probably not for many a year yet that’s what happened here tonight. Mid-way through his short semi-acoustic set a sinister silver-haired figure was seen to scurry in through the street door of the bar and engage the bar staff in animated conversation and two songs later it was all over. Fair enough – Midnight wasn’t far off and he’d only one more number up his sleeve but still, doesn’t a nice bloke occupying his place in the rock pantheon deserve some more respect? Clearly not from Supergran. … Continue Reading
Radiohead - TKOL RMX 1234567
By Greg Salter
TKOL RMX 1234567 is a compilation of the remix 12s that Radiohead have been gradually releasing over the last few months, since their eighth album, The King Of Limbs, arrived in February. With the 19 tracks on offer here, the band have done a pretty good job of bringing together many of the most exciting names in (UK based mainly) forward-looking dance music. For its first half or so, The King Of Limbs already sounded like it had one foot on the dancefloor (albeit in a very ‘Radiohead’,
creepy-guy-on-the-dancefloor kind of way) – it twitched rather than raved, and many listeners may have seen this remix series as a way of pushing the band all the way into the dance/electronica genres that they’ve always insisted on folding into largely traditional song structures. … Continue Reading
Radiohead - TKOL RMX 1234567
Over the last few months, Radiohead have been releasing a series of 12s with remixes of tracks from their The King Of Limbs album from earlier this year.

It will compile the generally high quality remixes from the likes of Caribou, Flying Lotus, Jamie XX, Jacques Greene and Four Tet in one package. Ahead of the release, you can stream the entire thing below. … Continue Reading
Radiohead - TKOL RMX 1234567
Radiohead have been releasing a series of remix singles throughout the summer, and have made the fifth in that series available to stream ahead of its release next week – you can listen below. The band also recently announced that these singles will be compiled on a full album, TKOL RMX 1234567, which will be released on XL Recordings on October 10th. The guestlist reads like a who’s who of electronic and bass music at the moment, with Actress, Blawan, Caribou, Jamie XX, Harmonic 313 and Pearson Sound featuring, amongst others. We’ve also got the tracklist below. … Continue Reading
Now that you seem to have stopped finding mud in the most unusual of places and the hangover has finally abated, we thought it was a good time to reflect on last weeekend’s shenanigans down on Worthy Farm. … Continue Reading
A lot has already been said about whether the eight tracks in front of us today are all we can expect from Radiohead in the next six months, surely they are up to something, three plus years for less than 40 minutes etc etc. For now, let’s eat what’s on the plate and then deal with what’s for dessert or seconds if/when that comes. … Continue Reading
Leeds Festival
By now, presumably, the hazy memories of Leeds and Reading will have begun to return for the thousands of revellers who attended the twin festivals over the weekend and, on site, the portaloos will merely be smouldering rather than blazing. For those that want more flag-free music-in-a-field experiences, or for those who watched it on the TV and experienced pangs of envy, a limited number of tickets have been made available for 2010 at this year’s prices.
