For the double-disc edition of their new album Sisterworld (out March 9 on Mute), Liars called on a bunch of friends to “reinterpret” the tracks from the album. Friends like Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, TV on the Radio’s Tunde Adebimpe, and Bradford Cox of Deerhunter/Atlas Sound. And Blonde Redhead frontwoman Kazu Makino, whose take on “Drip” you can hear right here, right now.
You can also stream Sisterworld in its entirety over at Liars’ MySpace.

Four days ago, Radiohead announced they’d be playing a show at the Henry Fonda Theatre—a venue with an official capacity of under 2,000—to help raise funds for relief efforts in Haiti. The tickets would be made available auction-style through Ticketmaster, with all the proceeds going to benefit Oxfam International. The minimum bid for a pair of tickets started off at $200, and by the time the auction closed, anything less than $1,000 had you coming up short. To say it was the hottest ticket in town would have been an understatement, and the stars were definitely out in full effect. (Ed. note: Apparently Wilmer Valderrama has quite the ticket stub collection, Charlize Theron likes her Grey Goose with a bit of cranberry, and Daniel Craig is way shorter than he looks.)

For those following the race, the auction-only tickets for Radiohead’s Haiti relief show at LA’s Music Box Theater are currently holding steady at $325 $375. Of course, with the auction pricing, that means $325 is the lowest that someone is paying. It’ll sure be interesting if we ever find out who paid the most, and how much. But considering that some celebrities are giving a million dollars to Haitian relief, you’d think they’d at least want to get a Radiohead performance out of it.Not to sound cynical. This is to help the helpless after all. And it’s Radiohead in the smallest venue they’ve played in decades. And the Music Box is general admission, meaning the cheapest ticket is a good as the most expensive, so it’s almost populist if you think about it that way.

Thom Yorke joined BBC presenter and international man of music Giles Peterson this weekend on Peterson’s Worldwide radio show. Yorke and Peterson played two hours of music, pulling heavily from Yorke’s interested in dubstep and other abstract beat music. New electronic star Floating Points got two tracks in the mix, along with rapers MF DOOM and Jay Electronica, jazz greats Sun-Ra and Charles Mingus.
