POST-IT: IL SUPERGRUPPO DI THOM YORKE, DAL VIVO

SKIRTING ON THE SURFACE

Come riportato nei giorni scorsi, Thom Yorke si sta esibendo dal vivo con una nuova band senza nome, un supergruppo composto da Flea, Joey Waronker, Mauro Refosco, e Nigel Godrich. Venerdì scorso, il 2 Ottobre, presso l'Echoplex di Los Angeles, ha avuto luogo una sorta di warm-up (in realtà un vero e proprio concerto), al quale erano presenti, tra il pubblico, il regista Spike Jonze, il produttore Rick Rubin, Dangermouse, l'attrice Ellen Page (la protagonista di Juno), i Daft Punk, Kim Gordon dei Sonic Youth, Matt Bellamy e Dominic Howard dei Muse e Zack De La Rocha (Rage Against The Machine). La prima parte dello spettacolo è stata dedicata all'esecuzione, per interno dell'album The Eraser, mentre nella seconda parte Thom ha suonato 4 nuovi brani (3 dei quali da solo, in versione acustica), Paperbag Writer (b-side di Hail To The Thief), The Hollow Earth e Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses. Uno dei nuovi pezzi, Skirting On The Surface, è stato presentato come un brano a cui stanno lavorando i Radiohead al completo.
Ieri sera, si è tenuta la prima delle 2 date ufficiali previste all'Orpheum Theatre, sempre nella metropoli californiana. Stasera la replica.

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ISLAND IN THE SUN/WEEZER

Diretto da SPIKE JONZE

When you're on a holiday
You can't find the words to say
All the things that come to you
And I wanna feel it too

On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

Hip hip
Hip hip

When you're on a golden sea
You don't need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As we drift into the zone

On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel bad anymore

Hip hip
Hip hip
Hip hip

On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel bad anymore

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SABOTAGE/BEASTIE BOYS

Diretto da SPIKE JONZE

I can't stand it, I know you planned it
I'm a' set straight this Watergate
I can't stand rocking when I'm in here
'Cause your crystal ball ain't so crystal clear
So while you sit back and wonder why
I got this fuckin' thorn in my side
Oh my god, it's a mirage
I'm tellin' y'all it's sabotage

So listen up 'cause you can't say nothin'
You'll shut me down with a push of your button
But I'm out and I'm gone
I'll tell you now I keep it on and on

'Cause what you see you might not get
And we can bet so don't you get souped yet
You're scheming on a thing that's a mirage
I'm trying to tell you now it's sabotage

Why

Our backs are now against the wall
Listen all of y'all it's a sabotage
Listen all of y'all it's a sabotage
Listen all of y'all it's a sabotage
Listen all of y'all it's a sabotage

I can't stand it, I know you planned it
I'm a' set straight this Watergate
I can't stand rockin' when I'm in this place
Because I feel disgraced because you're all in my face
But make no mistakes and switch up my channel
I'm Buddy Rich when I fly off the handle
What could it be, it's a mirage
You're scheming on a thing, that's sabotage
