love drops by

I got my hands on Muon's EP, "Love Drops" (the prelude to their full-length album "The New Mutants" due out later this year), and I sat down and slurped a listen.

It was as if my brain waves had turned into a tangible technicolor mirage and my mind got lost into a blurred ecstacy of daydream delusions and mindless meanderings. haha...sometimes I try too hard to describe pretentiously eh..

but seriously, this was some shoegaze dope.

Lotsa good stuff from home bands coming out during year's end, watch out for Muon's LP, B-Quartet's "Tomorrow Is Our Permanent Address" coming out in November, I Am David Sparkle releasing their second EP first in Malaysia during the Global Gathering performance in Malacca, the EP's out on 7th November in Singapore. Woopee.

Meantime, you can catch Muon live at the Esplanade @ Underneath A Blood Red Sky: "an event that will be featuring bands that fuse indie rock, lounge and electronica into atmospheric-laden musical pieces drenched in guitar feedback" <-- Okay this description didn't come from me okay.

To watch live bands gaze at their shoes, check this out:

internet hung the radio's head.

Radiohead released their new album online and you're free to decide how much you wanna pay for the tracks.

Pitchfork talked to Jonny Greenwood and he explains the band's decision to let listeners decide.

Gothamist: Why give people the option to pay whatever they want?

Greenwood: It's just interesting to make people pause for even a few seconds and think about what music is worth now. I thought it was an interesting thing to ask people to do and compare it to whatever else in their lives they value or don't value.

So let's hail the thief who pays no cents when grabbing music!

tell me what's good, homie

Well of course Kanye would triumph over fiddy cent. Pfffft...

I hate it when singers sing about how good their life is. Big money, lotsa booties, free flows and lotsa hos, glamorous schmamorous...it just makes me want to download their music for free...I mean after all, they ARE singing they don't need the money, they've plenty already.

So. Tell the RIAA how good life is and bring Napster back.
teehee.

And....guess which legendary international band is gonna release their album online soooooon? They're even gonna let you decide how much you want to pay for their music. For each track, you can choose to pay from $0 to $(any dollar). Yes You (who me? Yes YOU!) get to decide.

Oh yes here at Music Plague, we love music, but now we love the Internet even more!
