Radiohead just posted the following on their website:
"Hello everyone.Well, the new album is finished, and it's coming out in 10 days;We've called it In Rainbows. Love from us all.
Jonny"
It looks like they are making it available only through this website (what rebels): http://www.inrainbows.com/Store/Quickindex.html
I've already ordered my copy! Woo-hoo!

Finally! A new one from Manu Chao
Manu Chao, my favorite French-Spanish via South America world fusion artist, has put out his first full album of new material since 2001. The title is La Radiolina and it was released on Sept. 4. I have heard some samples and it has that same, infectious sound that characterized his first two albums. Quirky loops and samples, sunny reggae stylings, and lyrics in half a dozen different languages (mostly French, Spanish, and English) make his sound totally unique and enjoyable. This is something that is perfect to play on a saturday afternoon while sipping a cool drink.
Even though it's been a long time between albums, he has been busy playing and producing, most notably on last year's Dimanche a Bamako by Amadou and Miriam. His sound can be a bit repetitious, but it is so diffferent from anything else out there that he can be forgiven for his narrow track. I am looking forward to see how much , if any, his sound has matured since 2001.
