On The Campaign Trail...
Wilco paid a visit last night to Stephen Colbert's Colbert Report. Check out Stephen's interview with Jeff Tweedy below and the band's exclusive performance of "Wilco The Song."
Even More From Iceland
Whilst digging around on the Sigur Ros website, we came across a few hidden gems. Click here to grab some rare and live tracks from our favorite Icelanders. We highly recommend "fjöll í austri fagurblá" featuring traditional viking poetry chanting by Steindór Andersen. (Burn-Dog, that one's for you!)
Led Zeppelin Minus The Led
Rumor has it that rock & roll legends, Led Zeppelin are gearing up for a major tour. This would be cause for celebration if it weren't for the fact that the band has been auditioning new singers to replace original vocalist Robert Plant who isn't up to the occasion. Seriously? Come on! That'd be like sending The Stones out on the road without Mick Jagger. It just ain't the same. Granted Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones (the other surviving members of the band) are legendary in their own right but we just don't like the idea of a band the likes of Led Zeppelin hitting the stage with some stand-in doing his best Led Zep impression. Don't do it! Protect your legacy! No band has ever pulled a stunt like this and kept their credibility intact. We'll definitely be boycotting this one.
Air Mail
We at Airbag Radio were honored to get some love today from one of our newest fans, Ezra. Thanks for the kind words. We love the shirt you're rockin'! (Every baby needs one of those.) Check it out below.
Dear Airbag Radio,
I just want you to know I love the updates and coverage that you provide! I am sad to have missed out on Sigur Ros at the Greek Theater, and hope to share other great and powerful moments with you. I love your piece on the VMA's, and the quote from Mike Skinner is powerful. I appreciate your observations and outlook.
Your Biggest Fan,
Ezra

More From Thom Yorke
Radiohead-heads, here's cause for celebration. Thom Yorke has done some rework on an album from John Matthias & Nick Ryans. Check out his mix of 'Cortical Songs' below. If you like what you hear, be sure to grab it on iTunes.
More from Iceland
Our second favorite Iceland artist, has bestowed a new single upon us. That's right, Bjork is back, and this time she's brought one Mr. Thom Yorke, better known for his work with a little band called Radiohead, along for the ride. The new song, "Nattura," was composed specifically to encourage active support for the Nattura campaign, which aims at collating and providing sustainable and eco-friendly options suitable for Iceland, and generating alternative ways to utilize it’s natural resources. Sounds good to us and so does the song. Grab it on iTunes. All proceeds from the track will go towards the Nattura Campaign. Enjoy!
Back At It
Our apologies for the lack of recent posts. We have been recovering from what proved to be the greatest musical moment of our collective lifetimes, Sigur Ros at the Greek Theatre. Words cannot do justice to just how powerful this concert was. The highlight moment came during the encore when the hands of God reached down from the heavens to drop a little rain on us as the song grew and grew into a glorious crescendo of sound and a full downpour. Simply put, this was the third greatest moment of my life, second only to being born and getting married. This one will be tough to top and will never ever be forgotten. Thank you to the few thousand souls and the few great friends who were present that evening to share in the moment.
Can't Wait
The big day is almost here. This Friday, Sigur Ros will be at Berkeley's Greek Theatre. For those of you who haven't bought tickets yet, there are still a couple left. For those of you who are going, here's a little preview of the opening band, Parachutes. Sounds promising.
Vote Or Die!
Okay, it's not quite like that. But if you do promise to vote, you can get your hands on a nifty free track from Wilco. This one's extra special as it's a live recording featuring Fleet Foxes and its even more extra special as it's a cover of the Bob Dylan classic "I Shall Be Released." Get it here, but remember, you've got to vote. Enjoy and Happy Voting!
Randon Factoid: Mr. Diddy (pictured above) failed to vote back in '04. Damn! He's such a Maverick he didn't even listen to himself. Maybe we oughta put him in the office.
