Morning Music Notes – Dr. Evil Approved

Radiohead are set to release a series of 12″ vinyls which will feature remixes from their latest album, The King of Limbs. The first edition will feature Caribou remixing Little by Little, while Jacques Green will remix Lotus Flower. For those who are not over the age of 50 or who did not hop on the ridiculous vinyl resurgence do not own a record player, the songs will be available for purchase online.

Beyoncé’s new album has a song that features the coolest guy in music, André 3000, and is produced by Kanye (he needs an “é” at the end of his name, too) West, in what is bound to be the best song for the first week it is released, followed by the most overplayed song of the summer.

Lady Gaga’s new album, Born this Way, has been banned in Lebanon. If there was a political party with a similar platform in Canada, they would get my vote.
