To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Lex Records, underground hip hop legend DOOM has teamed up with Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood for a track called — wait for it — “Retarded Fren”.
Further details of Radiohead’s collaboration with DOOM have emerged.
It has been confirmed both Thom Yorke and guitarist Jonny Greenwood are currently working on an untitled track with the New York rapper for a new compilation entitled‘Complex’.
The project also includes contributons from Gruff Rhys‘ Neon Neon side project, reports Pitchfork. It is set to be released digitally on a track-by-track basis in the coming weeks until mid-January, when the compilation will be released on picture disc vinyl.
Details about the album, which will celebrate the 10th anniversary of Lex Records, first emerged in March earlier this year with DOOM saying it was likely to feature duets and Thom Yorke would be involved.
The Radiohead frontman previously remixed the rapper’s song ‘Gazzillion Ear’ in 2009. His band released their new remix album ‘TKOL 1234567’ earlier this month.
They are planning to tour their recent album ‘The King Of Limbs’ next year. GuitaristEd O’Brien recently said the band would be performing indoor shows.
He added:We’re finalising dates now, we’ll be on the road from the end of February to November and we’ll be playing in both the UK and US, the usual ports of call.
Radiohead — Bloom (Jamie XX Club Mix)

I’m in love with this tune since Jamie XX played it as the last track of his B2B set with Caribou at Boiler Room last week. Now i finally found, what i was looking for the whole week. Tops the already awesome album version.

RADIOHEAD heading back into studio!
Thom Yorke is saying that the band is heading back into the studio in December to start work on new music. Hot damn. I love it when they have quick turnaround between albums. He also had this to say:
“It would be fun to have them ready when we go to play next year. I don’t know how we would release them. It would be nice to make it all part of the flow and just enjoy it – not think about it too much.”

Hugh Laurie - Let Them Talk (2011)
Okay, I’ve been debating between this and The King Of Limbs and Helplessness Blues for best album of the year, but I think this claims victory in my favourites. It’s nothing personal, they were all brilliant. But this is just…god. Hugh Laurie is one of my favourite men in the world (but then again so is Thom Yorke, so) but that’s more thanks to his acting career than anything. Thanks to this, he’s way into the music for me, now. Listen to this, let them talk, let yourself be engulfed by bluesy riffs, amazing piano, and Hugh Laurie’s (I want to say ‘sultry’, but no) incredible vocals. Man, this is SUCH a good album. He’s got a really soulful voice, probably helped by all his musical experience in the past (and all his opportunities to imitate a convincing american accent in House). With every track, there are new surprises - you think one’s your favourite song, then you hear the next one’s piano line and you’re like ‘NO THAT ONE!’ - it’s absolutely phenomenal shit. Get on it!

This is Jimi Hendrix’s (is that even right? How are you meant to indicate the possessive term of Hendrix? Is it Hendrix’? I’m gonna go with Hendrix’ as of now, that looks better) version of Johnny B. Goode, and I adore it thoroughly - it’s one of the best versions I’ve ever heard. I confess to loving The Beatles version, and also the Michael J. Fox version is definitely my absolute favourite, but this is a different take and it’s great ‘cos it’s Jimi.
