You can always count on Matt at You Ain’t No Picasso to find a sweet bootleg or two, and he’s come through for all Radiohead fans again. He’s got a link to the band’s Haiti benefit show at L.A.’s Music Box last Sunday, and now you have it, too. The setlist spans the band’s career (except for Pablo Honey) and features just a single new track, “Lotus Flower”. Still it’s a great live set, and it was all for a good cause. Cheers to Matt for passing it along, and a big shout-out to “hardlylurkin” from the Ateaseweb.com for posting the gig in the first place. Atease also reports that Radiohead will be covering Peter Gabriel’s “Wallflower” as a return favour for Gabriel’s cover of “Street Spirit” which will be on his forthcoming Scratch My Back album.

You know me, I’ve always been a sucker for exotic music from Scandinavia and Iceland, so this little treat is right up my musical alley. I’ve not had a chance to explore Iceland’s Seabear discography fully yet, but I like what I’m hearing from their sophomore release, We Built a Fire (Out in March on the excellent Morr Music). They’ll be showing their goods off at SXSW in March.
MP3: Seabear “Lion Face Boy”

NYC’s Ball of Flame Shoot Fire say they love Scott Walker, Harry Nilsson, Tom Waits, and The Residents, and have been opening shows for Yeasayer, Man Man, Grizzly Bear, Ponytail and Here We Go Magic. That’s an impressive pedigree if you ask me. They’re working on new material but sent a couple samples my way to share with you:
MP3: Ball of Flame Shoot Fire “Mugs”
