Patrick Bruner, the Occupy Wall Street spokesman who earlier confirmed the concert, emails, “I got hoaxed. Radiohead was never confirmed. Completely our fault. Apologies. The band were victims in this hoax as well.” Somehow this movement manages to lose even more credibility :rolleyes:

Update: We wish the best of luck to the protesters there, but contrary to earlier rumours, we will not be appearing today at Occupy Wall Street (On a completely shallow note, can we talk about Thom Yorke's ponytail? What is going on with his hair? :stunned:)

Confirmed: Radiohead playing Occupy Wall Street Today!!! http://gothamist.com/2011/09/30/rumor_alert_radiohead_playing_occup.php

Completely agree that some songs fit better within the context of an album.... but that also doesn't make it a great song. You mentioned Kid A: Treefingers absolutely fits in the context of the album, coming directly after the emotional climax of How to Disappear Completely. But does that make Treefingers a great song? No.

Edit: Disregard the leaked setlist that was posted earlier - looks like the band made some changes. Sorry to get people's hopes up

What don't you understand about song licensing fees? Glee has a budget for every episode and significant portion of that budget is used to buy the rights to songs. The musician/band has the right of refusal to sell the rights to a song, a stance Coldplay had actually taken earlier...

I'm also curious about your reasoning. If anything, I would think Universal is worse....

1) No, Glee has to pay a ton of $$$ to use a song. This is called a song licensing fee. 2) This doesn't even cover the royalties the band will receive once the cover version is sold on iTunes. 3) Legally, yes, they do need to ask permission for the songs. And it is not the record company's call in this case - the band has the right of refusal. So in short, it's no different than selling the use of songs for commercials. Let's stop beating around the bush and call it for what it is: it's the band compromising on their earlier values to cash in a couple more checks.

This is different from the albums I usually recommend but pop fans should definitely check out Nicola Roberts' debut album, Cinderella's Eyes.

:nod: The fact that so many people's posts were along the lines of "if you don't like it, then don't watch it" show they don't really understand why people are disappointed. This isn't really about Glee - it's about musical integrity. Both Kiame and I quoted Chris Martin from 2002 where he made it clear that the band would never resort to selling the songs' meanings. And yet here we are, just 9 years later, where Coldplay reneged on their earlier statements. Let's not kid ourselves and say this is about publicity - there's plenty of other ways a band or musician can make their music heard.... without resorting to selling songs for the highest price.

That's one of the contenders I had in mind along with Let England Shake, Helplessness Blues, Strange Mercy, Eye Contact and other noteworthy albums. Like I said, no definitive AOTY yet.
