Radiohead is playing two nights in New York City starting tomorrow and they stopped by The Colbert Report last night for an hour-long event. The band knocked out three performances that made it on the site, so read on for the full set. My favorite was the funked out “Morning Mr. Magpie” including a botched start…

I’ve been knee-deep in media from ACL Fest but I did catch the news earlier via brooklynvegan that Radiohead has a busy week planned next week when they visit New York to play the season premier of Saturday Night Live this weekend with host Alex Baldwin. They’ve announced two shows for the Roseland Ballroom (9/28-9/29) and tickets will go on sale this upcoming Monday, Sept. 26th at 10am. >>>
I’ve been happily obsessed with this live performance by The Flaming Lips on last Wednesday’s episode of The Colbert Report. Check it out if you haven’t seen it yet and have a super duper Monday.
One of the reasons I’ve been so out of the loop in recent weeks is that I’ve been packing and moving from my first apartment here in San Fran. I’ve wanted my own place for a while now. I wanted to start setting myself up in a more proper setting to record podcasts (and/or start practicing drums again). Having my own apartment is definitely the way to go in helping to make some of that stuff happen. At any rate, moving has meant that I now have my own control over the multimedia setup in the household. I’ve got cable going again, which means that I get to actually watch TV while some good stuff is going to be coming back soon (uhm, Lost anyone?). I’m also quite a fan of The Colbert Report, and I’m psyched to see that he’s starting to feature musical guests on the show.
Coming up this Thursday, one of my my favorites, Wilco, is going to be the guest on The Colbert Report before they head to Madison for a free concert in support of Barack Obama. Then they’re going out on the road with Neil Young in December.
