The Beebs says meh.

Poll New Radiohead any good?

oxfordslacker, badasstronaut, and cleanskies are forcing me to comply with the peer pressure, really, it's irresistable.

Such as:

1. The mecha-enabled bunnies of Xploding Plastix' Joy Comes in the Morning. Though it was this track that first hooked me ( Read more... )

2. Dennis Miller crawls from underneath some rock. I thought he died in some O.D. car-crash years ago. Guess not. Oh well, more's the pity - I ( Read more... )

Nevermind that I'm a huge fan of nearly all her work, but listen to (admittedly-not-the-best-quality) soundclips of Ghost in the Shell tracks here.
