Monday Music Junkie: New Radiohead, Robert Pollard, Puscifer, and More

BY ANDY VIHSTADT

Rainbow Connection

After months of cryptic come-ons, Radiohead threw us all a huge bone last night. In Rainbows, the band’s long awaited seventh LP, will be available to download on October 10 here. From the looks of it, you won’t be able to get it anywhere else until December. Craziest of all, you get to name your own price. (More info at A to Z.)

Double Threat

Robert Pollard has kept himself busy since Guided By Voices disbanded, and he’s got two new LPs coming out next week. You can stream both Coast to Coast Carpet of Love (the pop album) and Standard Gargoyle Decisions (the rocker) courtesy of Merge Records. Or go portable with these.
