I got this in the mail the other day — some of the great perks of being a music blogger — but the thing is that I got the same record at some EMI event a couple of weeks ago. I guess I really don’t need two, right? I figured I’d give one away here because, well, you guys were so eager during the X&Y Vinyl contest. So if you’re interested in Coldplay’s A Rush of Blood to the Head on vinyl, read on!

Radiohead Announces Nude Remix Contest
Radiohead have released ‘Nude’ as their next single, in support of their masterful In Rainbows. And as many of you probably know, they are holding a bit of a remix contest that has stirred quite some interest between bands and DJs. The band has teamed up with iTunes to release the bass, voice, guitar, strings and drums as different tracks so that they could be remixed. Remixers who buy all five parts will be given a code to use with the program GarageBand where they can remix ‘Nude’. Radiohead have also set up a website so we can all play American Idol with their remixes. So far the Stereogum endorsed Holy Fuck remix is topping the remix chart.
I still like this remix though, but with the 200+ remixes that have been submitted (WHICH SHOULD SO BE AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD), it seems kind of old school.

New MP3s: Death Cab, Vampire Weekend, Hot Chip and More…
First, a little Public Service Announcement for those of you who live in Los Angeles. Do any of you have plans for tonight? Well, if you don’t, I have two tickets to go see Low vs Diamond TONIGHT at the Troubadour in West Hollywood at 10:15. If you want the tickets, email me here with the first and last names of the two (2, dos, deux, zwei, twee) people who will be attending the show. The first ones who email me will get the tickets. Thanks!
Meanwhile… New MP3s
1. Death Cab For Cutie – I Will Possess Your Heart MP3 | YSI
Never mind the four-minute instrumental intro in which Ben Gibbard (sort of) rocks out — once he starts singing, it’s still the same sad, mopey glum rock that made Zack Braff (and us) fall in love with him in the first place.
2. Vampire Weekend – Arrows MP3 | YSI
Here’s a Japanese Bonus track off of Vampire Weekend’s ubiquitous self-titled debut. Its quite apparent why the track wasn’t on the album itself, it doesn’t hold its own when placed against the rest of Vampire Weekend. But its worth a listen though.
3. Hot Chip – Sensual Seduction (Snoop Dogg cover) MP3 | YSI
I’m slowly starting to like this song, first Snoop got Robyn on the track with him, but this Hot Chip power was enough to push me through the threshold.
4. Justice – DVNO REMIXES GALORE
5. Nelly ft. Fergie – Party People MP3 | YSI
Nelly is back with Fergie’s help. This song is about as tired as “Grillz” was. So expect mass radio hysteria.

Win a Pair of Tix to See Kate Nash in NYC!
Imagine my surprise when I checked my email earlier today. Thanks to a couple of contacts, I have 2 tickets to see Kate Nash live at the Bowery Room in New York January 9th.
Since I don’t live in New York, I saw this an a perfect opportunity to do a giveaway type thing. Since it’s so close to Christmas, my brain is fried and my creative chords are shot, so to win the tickets, just email me telling my why your 2008 will be meaningless without the chance to see the fabulous Kate Nash. Send your sob stories to pma(dot)editor(at)gmail(dot)com. Before you even think of emailing me, you MUST subscribe to PMA’s feed. That’s the catch, I know, its shameless, but I don’t really care!
Contest ends Jan. 5
