Like many of this summer's festivals, Radiohead is the headliner, tossing off a performance of "Bangers and Mash" that came out of a jam session in Nigel Godrich's basement. Which autoplays every time you go to the site, which is just a little annoying. I'd write more of a blow-by-blow review, but in the time that it takes to watch LoudQuietLoud this could become a 50-comment thread!

So instead I'll just point you in the direction of the Pitchfork-premiered video for one of my favorite songs this year, M83's "Graveyard Girl," and leave you all to argue whether or not a site that's so rich on content that actually requires paying semi-close attention to for kinda long periods of time, instead of quickly skimming numerical ratings/download links, will be as runaway a success as its parent. I'm not sure myself, but my head for business is a little cloudy these days.
