I'm back.

After one of the worst 12 hour flights of my lifetime (my seat-back would not stay in the upright position) and some of the most boring days of my lifetime (when you can't go to the beach in Hawaii, things tend to get dull), I finally make my return. (HUZZAH!)

In a post yesterday on the NME.com, it was reported that Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has announced a solo album. Speaking to a respected fansite (yes, there are some out there) Yorke said:

"I have been itching to do something like this for ages,... It was fun and quick to do. Inevitably it is more beats & electronics. But its songs. Stanley [Donwood - Radiohead's cover artist] did the cover. Yes its a record! No its not a radiohead record. As you know the band are now touring and writing new stuff and getting to a good space."

The album, titled, The Eraser, will be put out on UK label, XL, (home to the likes of the White Stripes, Tapes and Tapes, The Raconteurs, and Be Your Own Pet) and a date for it's release is still in the works.

I'm personally pretty excited. Solo albums always are issues of debate, and controversy, but I feel like this will be a pretty successful venture. Who knows what this will influence in the future? I guess only time will tell. (dun dun duh).
