"Radio" was a thing people used to hear new music before the internet. - Stereogum

Nice one, Pearl Jam. Way to show your true colors, red and white, in the shape of a bullseye. You have now lost all credibility and we will never believe another word that you say, ever.

Sigur Rós-ish

Today saw the release of a new track from techno-ite, Tiësto, titled "Kaleidoscope." Now, normally this would never be cause for celebration here in Airbag Land but this particular piece of work features none other than Mr. Sigur Rós himself, Jonsí.

For those all of you who are still scratching your head trying to figure out how to say Tiësto, never mind figure out his (supposed) significance, Tiësto is a Dutch DJ best known for his dancefloor rhythms (the kind of rhythms that inspire... well... umm... we're not sure who or what they inspire, but they definitely don't inspire us).

Fortunately, Jonsí has come to the rescue of at least one song. "Kaleidoscope," the lead single from Tiësto's forthcoming album features Jonsí on Vox over white atmospheric beats reminiscent of Jonsí's other work. Be warned though, this is Tiësto featuring Jonsí, and not vice versa, which means that braun ultimately trumps brains on this one as things escalate into a full fledged techno-fest (the kind that makes us want to finish our drink and go home). But don't let us decide for you, see for yourself. "Kaleidoscope" is available for consumption on iTunes or you can take a listen over at Pitchfork.

Air Mail

Great video set to Grizzly Bear's "Two Weeks." Even greater when you consider it was put together by a fan. Thanks to Olga (and Alex) for the tip. Enjoy!

DWNLD TH!S:

Notorious Remix Heavyweight, Phaseone, has not only blessed the music world with a new album, but with a FREE new album. Deep Dope electronic grooves that'll make you bob your head and blog about it. Grab Thanks But No Thanks from our friends over at RCRD LBL. Check out more work from P1 at Mad Decent. (FYI, If you dig Animal Collective, then you'll really want to check out that last link.)

Another Crooked Mile

Here's another sneak peak of what's to come from Them Crooked Vultures. (video below)

And just in case you missed it, here's the scoop on these dirty birds.

Caliphonic

We at Airbag Radio had the opportunity to catch Califone opening for Iron & Wine a couple of years ago at Oakland's Paramount Theatre. We must say that despite our unfamiliarity with these indie-vets at the time, the band left a real impression on our collective ears. Stretched-out acoustic rhythms spilt over walls of sonic distortion, killer! The band has a new album forthcoming, titled All My Friends Are Funeral Singers, due out October 6th. In the meantime, please enjoy the lead single, "Funeral Singers," compliments of Stereogum.
