The offer was available for three months, after which the band released and commercialized the album, both digitally and in CD. In this paper, we use weekly music sales data in the US between 2004-2012 to examine the effect of Radiohead’s unorthodox strategy on the band’s al- bum sales. We find that Radiohead’s PYOP offer had no effect on the subsequent CD sales. Interestingly, it yielded higher digital album sales compared to a traditional release.

  • For Immediate Release September 2016 Umphrey's
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SEPTEMBER 2016 UMPHREY’S MCGEE ANNOUNCE THE NOVEMBER 11 RELEASE OF INNOVATIVE MASH-UP ALBUM ZONKEY RECORDED WITH LIVE INSTRUMENTATION AND NO SAMPLES USED COLLECTION INCLUDES MUSIC BY BEASTIE BOYS, BECK, FLEETWOOD MAC, METALLICA, MGMT, MICHAEL JACKSON, RADIOHEAD, TALKING HEADS, THE WEEKND, FRANK ZAPPA AND MANY MORE “Umphrey's McGee are a veteran act steeped in prog musicianship, metal power and genre-jumping inventiveness that thinks in terms of album-length statements.” - Rolling Stone Nashville, TN – Genre-defying progressive sextet Umphrey’s McGee announce the November 11 release of ZONKEY, a truly unique collection of 12 innovative mash-ups; conceived, arranged and performed in their entirety without the use of any samples. Always a band to challenge the boundaries of live performance, Umphrey’s McGee began a tradition eight years ago when the group started performing live mash-ups during their annual Halloween concerts. The event has become a fan favorite with sold out shows and highly coveted tickets. ZONKEY marks the first time the group has taken songs spanning 40+ years of popular music from 70’s Reggae to 80’s Pop to 90’s Metal and beyond, and recorded them in the studio. Only a band with the caliber of musicians such as Umphrey’s McGee could pull off these ambitious compositions that include “National Loser Anthem” (Radiohead’s "National Anthem" + Beck’s "Loser" + Phil Collins "In The Air Tonight”), “Can't Rock My Dream Face” (Michael Jackson’s "Rock With You" + The Weeknd’s "Can't Feel My Face" + Fleetwood Mac’s "Dreams"), “Strangletage” (Ted Nugent’s "Stranglehold" + Beastie Boys "Sabotage") or “Life During Exodus” (Talking Heads’ "Life During Wartime" + Bob Marley ‘s "Exodus" + Frank Zappa’s "City of Tiny Lites" + Chicago’s "25 or 6 to 4").

  • Radiohead and the Philosophy of Music
    1 Radiohead and the Philosophy of Music Edward Slowik There’s an old joke about a stranger who, upon failing to get any useful directions from a local resident, complains that the local “doesn’t know much.” The local replies, “yeah, but I ain’t lost”. Philosophers of music are kind of like that stranger. Music is an important part of most people’s lives, but they often don’t know much about it—even less about the philosophy that underlies music. Most people do know what music they like, however. They have no trouble picking and choosing their favorite bands or DJs (they aren’t lost). But they couldn’t begin to explain the musical forms and theory involved in that music, or, more importantly, why it is that music is so important to them (they can’t give directions). Exploring the evolution of Radiohead’s musical style and its unique character is a good place to start. Radiohead and Rock Music In trying to understand the nature of music, it might seem that focusing on rock music, as a category of popular music, is not a good choice. Specifically, rock music complicates matters because it brings into play lyrics, that is, a non-musical written text. This aspect of rock may draw people’s attention away from the music itself. (In fact, I bet you know many people who like a particular band or song based mainly on the lyrics—maybe these people should take up poetry instead!) That’s why most introductions to the philosophy of music deal exclusively with classical music, since classical music is often both more complex structurally and contains no lyrics, allowing the student to focus upon the purely musical structural components.

  • Steve Hackman and the Art of the Classical Mashup
    Playlists Schedule Programs Q2 Music Events Blogs Request Music Search wqxr.org WQXR log teve Hackman and The Art of the Claical Mahup Monday, October 31, 2016 ­ 12:00 AM Composer and conductor Steve Hackman (Courtesy photo from the artist) A musical mashup is when two or more songs are smashed together — for example, taking the bass from one, the rhythm and melody from the other and, more or less, creating a new composite song. In the early years of YouTube, a mashup was considered as one the most ear­ tickling experiences on the Internet. These combinations were mostly contained within mainstream music, one of the most famous being a Radiohead vs. Marvin Gaye mashup called “Sexual High,” a combination of Gaye’s “Sexual Healing” and Radiohead’s “High and Dry." Now, enter Steve Hackman, a Curtis Institute of Music­trained conductor and composer, with perhaps the most literal expression of classical­ crossover that has ever existed: Beethoven vs. Coldplay, Radiohead vs. Brahms, Copland vs. Bon Iver, and, most strangely, Björk vs. Bartók. What makes Hackman’s work special is that, in contrast to the YouTube videos of the mid 2000s, his mashups are performed live — with an orchestra! In truth, the word mashup doesn’t fairly describe Hackman’s work. The pop and classical elements aren't merely juxtaposed, but are dexterously woven together. At times, one isn’t sure of where the classical music ends and the other begins. This wholly original result isn’t just luck. Not only is Hackman an accomplished and decorated musician, fully capable of producing a compelling piece of music, but it's clear that he loves the classical and pop elements with equal force.

    SEng 265 — Introduction to Software Engineering Fall 2001 Assignment No. 4 Note 1 This assignment is to be done individually. Note 2 Your assignment will be tested on aserver. Due date: Nov. 16, 2001, at the beginning of the class. This assignment is worth 20 points. This assignment is worth 8% of your total course mark. Clearly mark your lab section and student number on all submissions. Objectives After completing this assignment, you will have: learned the basics of perl and regular expressions. Introduction I have a large library of mp3s on one of my linux boxes. Because I am the retentive type of person, I organize them in the following way: For each band I create a directory whose name is the name of the band. Inside this directory I create one directory per each album that the band has released. The name of the directory starts with the year (4 digits number) in which it was released. Finally, inside each album directory, I name each mp3 file with the number of the song in the album, and its title. For example, the albums Boy (1980) of U2, and The Bends (1995) of Radiohead correspond to: U2/1980_Boy/04_Into_the_Heart.mp3 U2/1980_Boy/01_I_will_follow.mp3 U2/1980_Boy/02_Twilight.mp3 U2/1980_Boy/03_An_Cat_Dubh.mp3 U2/1980_Boy/06_Stories_for_Boys_2.mp3 U2/1980_Boy/05_Out_of_Control_2.mp3 U2/1980_Boy/08_A_Day_without_Me.mp3 U2/1980_Boy/07_The_Ocean_2.mp3 U2/1980_Boy/09_Another_Time_Another_Place.mp3 U2/1980_Boy/10_Electric_Co_2.mp3 U2/1980_Boy/11_Shadows_and_Tall_Trees_2.mp3 Radiohead/1995_The_Bends/10_Black_Star.mp3 Radiohead/1995_The_Bends/08_MyIron_Lung.mp3

  • Rock Harmony Reconsidered: Tonal, Modal and Contrapuntal Voice&
    DOI: 10.1111/musa.12085 BRAD OSBORN ROCK HARMONY RECONSIDERED:TONAL,MODAL AND CONTRAPUNTAL VOICE-LEADING SYSTEMS IN RADIOHEAD A great deal of the harmony and voice leading in the British rock group Radiohead’s recorded output between 1997 and 2011 can be heard as elaborating either traditional tonal structures or establishing pitch centricity through purely contrapuntal means.1 A theory that highlights these tonal and contrapuntal elements departs from a number of developed approaches in rock scholarship: first, theories that focus on fretboard-ergonomic melodic gestures such as axe- fall and box patterns;2 second, a proclivity towards analysing chord roots rather than melody and voice leading;3 and third, a methodology that at least tacitly conflates the ideas of hypermetric emphasis and pitch centre. Despite being initially yoked to the musical conventions of punk and grunge (and their attendant guitar-centric compositional practice), Radiohead’s 1997– 2011 corpus features few of the characteristic fretboard gestures associated with rock harmony (partly because so much of this music is composed at the keyboard) and thus demands reconsideration on its own terms. This mature period represents the fullest expression of Radiohead’s unique harmonic, formal, timbral and rhythmic idiolect,4 as well as its evolved instrumentation, centring on keyboard and electronics. The point here is not to isolate Radiohead’s harmonic practice as something fundamentally different from all rock which came before it. Rather, by depending less on rock-paradigmatic gestures such as pentatonic box patterns on the fretboard, their music invites us to consider how such practices align with existing theories of rock harmony while diverging from others.
