We are sponsoring a very special show: Björk and Dirty Projectors at Housing Works Book Store in SoHo. Dave Longstreth is composing a special, one-time only vocal piece for Björk, followed by Dirty Projectors doing a set of their songs with only an acoustic guitar and vocals. Their new stuff slays in frighteningly new ways. Our Senior Writer Brandon Stosuy engineered this. This is a lot to handle. HERE IS ALL THE INFO.

Radiohead - Idioteque (live on SNL)

As amazing as this performance is, it’s even better when you remember why it was significant. They played in October of 2000, Kid A had just came out to critical acclaim/bewilderment and the rest America still knew Radiohead as either the makers of “Creep” or “Karma Police.” The number one hit in America was Santana’s “Smooth.”

Thom’s dancing like a crazy asshole because he knows he’s participating in a giant musical sucker punch.

With no cable and lousy broadcast reception, my TV viewing options were pretty limited in October 2000, so I don’t think I had ever seen this before. I think I would’ve remembered it if I had, anyway. It’s hard to imagine a musician doing anything this far from most listeners’ experiences in front of this many people ever again. (No, singing cliches in AutoTune over comfortingly nostalgic samples doesn’t count.)

this is really happening.

Shivers then. Shivers now. I wish this imeem caught a bit more of the audience’s reaction, which I remember sounding something like ecstatic electrification.
