There are many, many things that I wish I had time to write about.  Unfortunately, these days it seems that I only have time to drop a nugget and run off.  So here you go.

Radiohead has released the stems (mixes of specific instruments or groups of instruments in a song) to the song “Nude” from their recent album, “In Rainbows”, exclusively on iTunes.  With this kind of release, not surprisingly, is a remix competition.  The submissions can be viewed at radioheadremix.com.  I know it’s Radiohead but, having some experience remixing, I’m surprised that there have already been 212 submissions considering the stems were released yesterday.  Do people really have that much free time on their hands?  I’ve only listened to the most popular and, while it is interesting, I’m not that impressed.  Hopefully the Radiohead cult can crank out something more creative and gripping.

Also, there’s going to be a GarageBand file released on the 11th.  The site isn’t too clear on what exactly is going to be in the file but if you download all the stems you’ll get an access code on 4/11.  Curious …
