There will forever be a soft spot in my heart for Weezer…
“Buddy Holly” was the first music video I can remember watching. “Undone (The Sweater Song)” was probably the first alt-rock song I ever heard. (In case you’re wondering: No, I didn’t grow up with cable.) Through their various iterations and levels of suckiness, Rivers Cuomo and whomever-he-happened-to-rock-with-at-the-time always, at the very least, created pop ballads with catchy, cutesy appeal. Their newly released track, “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To,” exceeds most of their previous post-Pinkerton efforts in terms of jubilation with a slight reduction in corniness of lyrics. Here is a track worthy of being snuck into end-scenes of some WB teen drama… or is it CW now?
Yeah, it’s that powerful…

From Dead Air Space, the official Radiohead blog:
“i am the only one that got through
the others died where ever they fell
it was an ambush
they came up from all sides
give your leaders each a gun and then let them fight it out themselves
i’ve seen devils coming up from the ground
i’ve seen hell upon this earth
the next will be chemical but they will never learn”Recently the last remaining UK veteran of the 1st world war Harry Patch died at the age of 111.
I had heard a very emotional interview with him a few years ago on the Today program on Radio4.
The way he talked about war had a profound effect on me.
It became the inspiration for a song that we happened to record a few weeks before his death.
It was done live in an abbey. The strings were arranged by Jonny.
I very much hope the song does justice to his memory as the last survivor.It would be very easy for our generation to forget the true horror of war, without the likes of Harry to remind us.
I hope we do not forget.As Harry himself said
“Irrespective of the uniforms we wore, we were all victims”.This morning the Today program played the song for the first time and now it is available to download from our website.
Please click here to download.
The proceeds of this song will go to the British Legion.
To peace and understanding.

Yesterday, Muse released an exclusive download of a full-length track off their upcoming album, The Resistance. The track, entitled “United States of Eurasia,” continues their Queen-inspired musical journey through sonic battlefields of crazy sounds and lyrics about weird stuff.
Download here or just have a quick listen.
A little corny but I like.
