MP3: Brand New Radiohead - "Staircase"

Wait, where did this come from? Seemingly out of nowhere, Radiohead have graced the internet with a brand new track this morning. Titled "Staircase," the song's in line with the band's most recent King of Limbs sound--heavy on rhythm, repetition and smooth bass lines--though I may like it more than just about any other cut from that record. Well done, sirs.

The video above is part of Nigel Godrich's From The Basement web performance series, which will host Thom Yorke and co. for the third time on July 1st. And while they'll probably be playing most of King of Limb (and "Staircase"), fingers crossed for a least one more new track. Grab a HQ MP3 down below...

I walk down the staircase / Magnetic pull / Back to the other place / That I cannot go

MP3: "Senator" by Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks

I know what the senator wants / What the senator wants is a blow job
If you're anything like me, you're sick, sick, sick of all these politico sex scandals--they're a nauseating press headache of mundane proportions (ahem, Weinergate). And so, a golf clap for Stephen Malkmus and his Jicks. "Senator" is the first single off their forthcoming record, Mirror Traffic, and its release is pretty timely, espeically with lyrics like those above.

Nice to hear Malkmus maintain his tounge-in-cheek, Pavement* roots and the jam-band lumbering of The Jicks hasn't sounded better. Mirror Traffic is Beck-produced and due out on August 23rd, but Pavement fans around the globe will surely torrent a leak much, much sooner.

*For those with fingers far removed from the pulse, Stephen Malkmus was the former front-man of Pavement, the greatest band you should already be listening to.

MP3: Brand New Justice Single - "Civilization"

Well it's about time. Four years after releasing the epic †, Justice has a new single. "Civilization" is the first we're hearing off the French duo's untitled sophomore effort.

Does it meet expectations? Put it this way, it's less disappointing than the latest Strokes album.
