Radiohead: In Rainbows

We're proud to announce our latest Series 7 android. Here at Radiohead Industries we have always striven to bring the greatest sense of authenticity to our flagship series of androids and the Radiohead Series 7 is our greatest achievement by far. In this series we have brought elevated the principles of techno-organic synthesis to an art form, transcending the barrier between artifice and the natural world to bring you emotions that humanity cannot describe in words.


The Emotional Cortex of the Radiohead Series 7, nicknamed "In Rainbows", is built around our proprietary recordings of your life and surroundings. We have been observing you for some time and we feel like we can describe you in greater detail than you know. As an owner of the Radiohead Series 3 (nicknamed OK Computer) you may be familiar with many of the themes this new version will play upon. Perhaps you feel alone, perhaps the cold lines of modern living leaves you feeling hollow at the end of the day and you feel as though you will never connect with another human being again.


Good news! Connection with other human beings is within your grasp once more! The "In Rainbows" progressive reconnection sequence is designed to enhance your ownership experience through the selective upload of images directly from your subconscious and transmission to pre-screened mating selections on our Reconnection Database servers. We can feel your pain and we want you to know it's alright. We love you. We here at Radiohead Industries have been studying the separation between people and the rest of the world for a long time and have found a unique solution for our customers.


Thank you for selecting this product, it will keep you sane in the endless tides of noise and confusion. Please check our website for our other offerings, British Sea Power, Broken Social Scene, Tool and Nine Inch Nails.


Good for: Contemplating your life, sitting on a wall in the middle of the street.

Built To Spill: Keep It Like A Secret

Built to Spill loves you. They want you to have a good time and think about how you're living all at the same time. Imagine if punk rock wasn't screaming in your face about your TV habits, more sidling up next to you at the bar to have a nice long talk about it all. There is social critique here, but it slides past your defenses and makes you think you're listening to pop music.

Mind you, it's not too cute, Keep It Like A Secret has an edge of sorts, but I think they keep it in their back pocket folded up. This collection of songs is the score for people watching in the suburbs, the endless milling of the masses around shiny new things. Here the food court anthem, there the trendy store sonata.

Some songs are human, beating the point home with driving beats and thick bass lines, others floating above you like seagulls in the parking lot outside. It is full of hope and a chance for living outside of the rules we pretend to obey. This album is trying to help you down the road with Modest Mouse, The Get Up Kids and Jets To Brazil.

Good for: Wondering what the hell post-punk is, staring longingly at open fields though plate glass windows.
