So if you keep up with the latest goings-on with Radiohead, then you know they’ve spent the last week in New York. In that time, they’ve done a surprisingly large number of things. Considering how quiet they’ve been since the release of “The King of Limbs” early on this year, it’s remarkable they’ve been doing so much press now. From “Saturday Night Live” to “The Colbert Report” to 2 shows in NYC to an appearance on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” early next week, the band seems to be making the most of their visit to the city. One wonders if they were to spend a week in several major cities whether or not they might do similar things. Tragically, we’ll probably never find out. Also, given that New York is one of the most highly populated cities in the world, you can hardly blame them for taking advantage of the opportunities offered to them there. Okay, let’s get to this Friday edition of Pick Your Poison. It’s a little larger than usual, populated by a host of excellent choices. Chief among them are tracks from Cate Le Bon, The Fatty Acids, Inca Gold, and Mild Mannered. How to Dress Well’s cover of the Elite Gymnastics track is probably the biggest piece of awesome up for download below. In the Soundcloud section, there are great tracks from Alberta Cross and Shannon Curtis to soothe what ails you. And should you like some reggae versions of Beatles classics, be sure to glance at Yellow Dubmarine. Just for, you know, kicks.
