Been listening to the new Radiohead album and am pretty into it though there are mixed reviews. Some have described it as a "creeper," requiring more listens to achieve likability. Regardless, I've definitely already been practicing Thom Yorke's super alright dance moves from this Lotus Flower video. Who knew he could move like so?

The album is available here.
What do you think about the album? Creeper or off-the-bat banger?

United Bamboo Fall 2011 RTW and After Party at New York Fashion Week
Miho Aoki and Thuy Pham are the brilliant minds behind one of L’usine’s favorite brands, United Bamboo. They haven’t added the fashionable cats from their annual calendar into their runway show just yet but here’s a preview of the Fall 2011 Ready-To-Wear collection from the recent New York Fashion Week.
Thuy shared some positive responses from the show, "We showed a collection with lots of coats. Big hits were some of the shearling coats and the shoes. Everyone was telling me it looked very 'United Bamboo' which is good I think. It means they wanna wear the stuff."
Noah Lennox aka Panda Bear of Animal Collective, Sean Lennon, James Iha and MGMT's Andrew VanWyngarden were spotted at the show. This season, Pete Kember formerly of Spacemen 3 produced the music.
One can only hope that the cats will make their live runway debut one day. Until then, monthly inspirational outfits can be referenced in the 2011 calendar available for order in the US.
Now what would a show be without its after party? Every season, United Bamboo collaborates with Justine D. to throw one of the must-get-to parties of fashion week. This season, Dossier Journal also presented the after party at the Jane Hotel. Karen O and Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Nancy Whang of LCD Soundsystem (probably taking a welcomed break from “the last ever LCD show sold-out in minutes and crashing servers because of lame scalpers” debacle) provided the tunes that had everyone rocking including LCD’s James Murphy (who wrote an amazing response letter to the last show drama), David Chang of Momofuku, Kirsten Dunst and all these pretty people.
