New Material & A New Tour?
From the NME:
Radiohead are reportedly planning a low-key tour in summer 2002 to road test new material.
The group are currently taking a break following the conclusion of the world tour in support of this year’s ‘Amnesiac’ album.
In the time away, Radiohead have tentatively started working on new material, some of which featured in the later shows of the band’s world tour.Now, in an interview with The Face magazine, the band revealed that they were considering three weeks worth of shows next August to work through some of the material live, as part of a campaign to release their sixth album at the start of 2003.
When asked if the group were planning any massive summer shows like an appearance at next year’s Glastonbury festival, guitarist Ed O’Brien said: ‘I’m not allowed to say (anything about) that! The idea is that we don’t want to do anything big. The idea is to be pretty self-indulgent – that means we’ll play new material. And I don’t think playing Glastonbury, or any festival, is conducive to that.’

Merry Christmas from w.a.s.t.e.
Here’s a message sent from Thom to members of w.a.s.t.e.:
violence breeds violence
we need a world court
not a republican with his hands covered in oil and military hardware
lecturing us on world security
we need love and understanding and tolerance and good laws that apply to
everyone, upheld by those who are in a position to judge
praying for world peace is not such an embarrassing thing to do anymore
i
think
especially not this christmas.
thank you everybody on w.a.s.t.e. for still listening and sticking with
us
and
understanding the records we make,
i hope your christmas is peaceful and loving and spiritual.
does that sound silly?
don’t care.
