From the Boing Boing: Radiohead to remixer: naw, it’s cool, go ahead. - Boing Boing.
Dave Park says,
Amplive made a remix of Radiohead’s ‘In Rainbows’ and was planning to release it without the band’s permission leading to a cease and desist order on December 18. Today it was announced that both parties had since met and Amplive was now given permission to release the album. Downloadable MP3s are now available.

Two Brooklyn bands I wanted to serve up for your listening pleasure. With all the great danse-punk and electro shit that’s been released on the interwaves it’s nice to hear some good rock once in a while. And it’s a good thing guys like those in these two bands are around making it.
I don’t know how I missed these guys last year… they were big in the blogosphere, but I never got around to listening…
Diamond Nights formed in 2003 as a group betrothed to the pursuit of song, not genre. As such, their music oscillates from straightforward to strange, from bombastically heavy to casually reserved. More specifically, it’s the sort of music that seems to embody a band somewhere between its first experimentation with hard drugs and prior to the calamitous meltdown, getting cleaned up and writing mediocre soft rock hits.

So I found a decent mixtape off Hits In The Car. I’m going to repost it here, since I’m sorta lazy.

Glasgow art-rock three-piece F.O. Machete have perfect band DNA. Recent history shows that for the best alternative guitar tunes, three really is the magic number. Heres a quick list off the top. Nirvana. Sebadoh. Mclusky. The Flaming Lips. Debut Machete album, Blaze of Flashes, is notice that the next band in this list has arrived. This is music that chats you up in the bar with humour and intelligence, then gets you back to its place, brings in two of its friends, hands you a Viagra and covers you in oil. This stuff can rip your face off at 50 meters but has a hook your mum might sing along to. You want cynical and vicious yet at the same time infectiously bouncy, upbeat lyrics? Get this record. What if Olivia Newton-John had dated Steve Albini? What if Bjork and P.J. Harvey had a daughter? This record shows what would have happened. And there are songs about Richard Pryor. How cool does this sound?’
