Stream Thom Yorke's The Eraser & what not

« Think About Life playing Night Time @ Don Hills? | The Shins playing McCarren Park Pool (& other places) »

"Reviews of the Eraser (buy @ Insound) range from a 5.0 @ Slant:

The Eraser is, quite simply, Thom Yorke clearing his throat. In a year where no new Radiohead album looms on the horizon and the scant fistful of scheduled live dates for the band have tickets going for ungodly sums on eBay, it makes sense that Yorke would capitalize on the void. After all, it's not like this is a solo album (as Yorke has vehemently, insistently denied in several places).

up to an A- @ Stylus:

The Eraser is a triumph, and I'm left wondering why I expected otherwise. Maybe it was intended to temper expectations for Radiohead's new era under Spike Stent, but as is, it will always be a stunning final word for one of our generation's most reliably innovative partnerships.

STREAM THE ERASER @ AOL Music. Watch him perform two songs on the Henry Rollins show.

The Gawker item about Spin begins, "At right is the first issue of Spin sans Andy Pemberton; notice, if you will, the complete absence of any sort of bootylicious celebrity..." Nelly Furtado isn't bootylicious? I thought they canned their gay editor.
