Radiohead Out In Stores January 1st

On January 1, 2008, TBD Records/ATO Records Group will release in North America the physical version of Radiohead’s In Rainbows.

Released in download format earlier this year, In Rainbows has already received tremendous acclaim in the press. British music magazine Q wrote “In Rainbows is a brilliant work” while Rolling Stone said the album “delivers an emotional punch that proves all other rock stars owe us an apology.” New York magazine raved, “Radiohead has made their best music in years, maybe ever.”

Produced by Nigel Godrich, In Rainbows is the band’s seventh studio album and the follow-up to 2003’s RIAA certified Platinum Hail to the Thief.

Kevin Shields video interview with Soft Focus on My Bloody Valentine

Check out the Kevin Shields interview on Soft Focus. Now you and your audience can hear the words about the reunion and the follow up MBV album straight from the horse's mouth. He discusses it all in part 1. But there are four parts to this extensive and in depth interview all week on VBS. So make sure you check 'em all out. It's an extroverted side and open conversation that I've never quite seen from the normally introverted Shields.



Follow the rest of interview this week here: http://www.vbs.tv/softfocus/kevin_shields.php

Also check out Season 1 of Soft Focus - taped at the Guggenheim Museum in New York with guests like Cat Power's Chan Marshall, Henry Rollins, Ian Mackaye, Genesis P. Orridge and Will Oldham - is currently available on-line. Check it out here: http://www.vbs.tv/softfocus
