And now, a message from radiohead

To coincide with asking radio stations to think about playing “Reckoner” we are breaking up the tune into pieces for you to remix. After the insane response we got from the “Nude” remix stems and the site that was dedicated to your remixes…

Unique visitors: 6,193,776, Page Views: 29,090,134, Hits: 58,340,512, Bandwidth: 10.666 Terabytes, Number of mixes: 2,252, Number of votes: 461,090, Number of track listens: 1,745,304

…we thought it only fair to do the same with a tune that at least is in 4/4. You can get the stems (the different instruments/elements) from here

Sample, cut, take the sounds, whatever. Play it in a club. Or your room. Then if you want you can upload your finished mixes to http://www.radioheadremix.com and be judged by everyone else. You can create a widget allowing votes from your own site, Facebook or MySpace to be sent through too. To start things off we asked James Holden and Diplo to do their versions.

Oh, and by the way, if you weren’t lucky enough to get your hands on one of our recycled plastic bottle shirts at a show this summer, you’ll be glad to hear we’ve made some more and they are available at thew.a.s.t.e. shop here

All at w.a.s.t.e x

New Strokes Side Project

Strokes drummer, Fab Moretti has started the side project, “Little Joy“. Named after a Los Angeles, Echo Park dive bar of the same name, the band consists of Moretti’s girlfriend Binki Shapiro and Brazillian singer guitarist Rodrigo Amarante (formerly of Los Hermanos) who all moved in to a house together in the area.

It sounds remarkably similar to a stripped down version of the Strokes which I have absolutely no complaints about.  

An 11 track album is being released November 4th.  Check out more Little Joy at their myspace.
