Radiohead Dodges Miley Cyrus

imageYou star in one crappy kids' show about a schoolgirl secretly living the life of a pop star, performing under a moniker that's better suited for aspiring porn starlets, and suddenly you find yourself actually believing you are a pop star. Such is the hard knock life of Miley Cyrus, who has starred in such Cannes-snubbed features as Bolt and some movie about that same schoolgirl-turned-pop-star-not-porn-starlet. She's also well-remembered for her turn as "Mudka's Meat Hut Waitress" on this TV spin-off of some animated Disney movie that nobody remembers. And when she's not earning the ire of Margaret Cho, it's no surprise that Miley would be a total Radioheadcase, likely bopping along to "Creep" while chain-smoking between scenes on Hannah Montana or drunk-dialing daddy Billy Ray, shrieking the lyrics to "Karma Police" into her T-Mobile handset (that myFaves deal's a steal, I hear!).

Links: Kayne Humbles Hackers, Paris Hilton vs. Lady Gaga, Radiohead @ Grammys

● The ever humble Kanye West is pleading with hackers to stop hacking his Myspace account, begging them "I just gave the performance of my lifetime for our new president ... Just let me be great!" [P6]
● How does M.I.A. feel about her Oscar nom for the Slumdog Millionaire song “O ... Saya”? The pregnant musician says of the nod: “... maybe I can afford to book Dave Chappelle at the baby shower now.” [PitchforkMedia]
● Lady Gaga and Paris Hilton are in a feud over the inspiration for Gaga’s hit album Fame. Evidently, both went to the same Upper East Side school, and Hilton feels the album is about her. What about this school make its graduates go out without their pant(ies)? [OKMagUk]

‘Variety’ & Radiohead Experiment with Video Art



Since when did Variety become a harbinger of ethereal video art, and since when did the Telluride film festival become the most moving thing since Kirsten Dunst and Orlando Bloom's reunion at the end of Elizabethtown? For some reason, Radiohead has "lent" the Hollywood trade paper its song "Nude", who've gone and shot some time-lapse photography around Colorado during the film fest, and then set it to the song. Thom Yorke's soaring vocals set to images of soaring nature equals profundity by default.

Radiohead Reckons Their Fan Made a Good Video

Radiohead Reckons Their Fan Made a Good Video Radiohead released another video. This wouldn't be nothin’ to write home about if a) the art of the music video weren't dead by now, which it almost is; b) they didn't hold a contest to make the official video for "Reckoner", which they did; and if c) it wasn't good, which it isn't -- it’s great. See, Radiohead commissioned their fans to make an animated video; they narrowed it down to ten videos, then four, and each of the four semi-finalists got $10,000 to finish their final product. The winner was French Radiohead fan Clement Picon, and the surrealist growth put on display in Picon's video is as shockingly bittersweet and subversively brilliant as the song itself; in other words, it fits perfectly in the catalog of the band’s extensive yet solid videography. A glimpse after the jump.

Snobbery and Entitlement at All Points West

Snobbery and Entitlement at All Points West VIP access to this weekend’s All Points West Music and Arts Festival means hanging with the artists, but not actually watching them perform. Ignore the tempting buffet because there is too much beer to drink. Score a bunch of free shit and feel very important because of it. At the entrance, unimportant and important people alike wait in long-ass lines while their are bags checked. But we very important folk waltz right in.

Radiohead Pedals Eco Agenda

Radiohead Pedals Eco Agenda Another celebrity attempt to save the world has failed. In an effort to promote eco-friendly lifestyles, Radiohead announced that 50 passes for their show at Paris’ Bercy Arena would be given away to fans who claimed them by bicycle, at record label XL’s Parisian office. Unfortunately, only 15 tickets were claimed for the June 10th show. Perhaps Radiohead didn’t realize that promoting bicycling to pick up tickets would have been a more popular venture in Amsterdam. The band continues to encourage show-goers to use public transportation to attend its shows. We’ll do them one better—we’re backstroking across the Hudson to All Points West.

New Yorke

New Yorke The best song off In Rainbows has gone ahead and gotten itself a music video—or is it a PSA? Whatever it is, the Oxford quartet’s "All I Need" has made grade-school doodling and sweatshop sandal-construction seem epic. The new clip is the result of Radiohead teaming up with MTV’s End eXploitation and Trafficking (EXIT) initiative, and was supposed to premiere tomorrow on MTV, but someone couldn’t wait to begin the crusade.
