for those of you that need something a bit more physical than early bragging rights to a record that sprang up suddenly last month, radiohead’s the king of limbs is going to have a physical release tomorrow. you can stream the album at the link below, courtesy of consequence of sound and you can even go here to read the much buzzed about newspaper the universal sigh. that last bit also isn’t something tangible so if that’s your kind of thing, ink-stains and all, you’ll have to heads over to one of the cities that carries the paper itself. hint: it’ll be any of the cities not named “houston.”

as band belle and sebastian lean toward a fuller, poppier side of the indie pop spectrum it’s not uncommon for a band, especially one with a 15 year tenure, to take chances. for their latest, frontman stuart murdoch hands the vocal reins over to b&s members sarah martin and stevie jackson, as well as let a few guests (norah jones and an education actress carey mulligan) into the mix. it’s a new move on murdoch’s part but all very trademark belle and sebastian. stream it in its entirety below.
