dubstep,

If you like electronic dance music, you either consider dubstep to be the breath of fresh air in yet another year of electro house or an annoying trend you hope will go away.
Whatever it was, dubstep was huge in 2009.
Yes, most dubstep is formulaic and predictable. The best dubstep, however, surprises more than any other genre in edm.
Cue today's track...
This remix of Crookers falls somewhere between dubstep and whatever the hell kind of music Jack Beats makes (fidget house?). The first few minutes of this track are ABSOLUTELY NUTS. Just listen:

Radiohead is more than the liberal arts equivalent of Dave Matthews Band. Radiohead is more than Oasis with an anxiety disorder.
I don't give a damn if it's hyperbolic. Radiohead can only be compared with The Beatles.
Not only because Paranoid Andriod was inspired by Happiness Is a Warm Gun, not only because they both grew up on the other side of the pond, or because their stylistic trajectories were so similar (both sold out in the beginning only to drift into critically acclaimed artistic experimentation), but because, damn it, no other band since The Beatles has produced so many good songs.
Radiohead never reached the mainstream success of the Fab Four, but then again, that would have been impossible. It's a different era. Could you imagine The Beatles giving away "Let It Be" away on the internet for free? Well, maybe...
The following concert showcases Radiohead at their best. Lots of classics, with plenty of different interpretations to get old fans excited. Big thanks to Ryan's Smashing Life for the bootleg.
Energetic, moody, eclectic, anthemic. Fuck the adjectives, it's just a great show.
