Radiohead unveiled details last night about a newspaper the band will be releasing worldwide on March 28/29. The Universal Sigh is what I'm assuming is a promotional piece to coincide with the release of The King of Limbs in it's physical format and to prepare fans for the intricately packaged “newspaper album” they will make available on May 9. One was already sold on ebay for $60!
According to the website that was created for the newspaper, the band is encouraging fans to get a hold of the free tabloid and are inviting them “to post pictures of themselves and their friends reading the newspaper in locations diverse and unusual.” They have also posted a map where people can find out where to grab a copy nearest them.
For whatever reason, Canada is the only country, with the exception of some cities in the U.S, that will not have the paper available in record stores. Bahhumbug! For those of you who live in Toronto, you can pick up The Universal Sigh at Yonge and Dundas Square on March 29 starting at 1pm. Unfortunately, I'll be at work, but kudos to you if you can get one!
The Strokes were featured on The Late Show with David Letterman on Wednesday night. An energetic Julian Casablancas and co. performed “Taken for a Fool” and brought a giant smile to my face while doing so. I can't get over how well they did live and proved that despite their inner band feuding and the 5-year-hiatus, they still got it! While watching it again on YouTube, I came across an older performance they had done on Letterman years ago. It's funny to see how much they have changed, or really how little they have changed.
