Stanley Donwood’s site http://www.slowlydownward.com has been updated with two new stories and some information about his new book Catacombs of Terror!, which was printed on hemp paper, of course.
And, for some great pictures of Radiohead taken in Spain last year, head on over to http://www.twodeadstars.com/. You have to choose “Radiohead” from the box of artists.

Thom will be featured in a documentary about Bjork called “Inside Bjork.” Here are the details:
Channel 5 has commissioned Endemol UK’s production arm Initial to produce a documentary. This documentary called ‘Inside Bjork’ details the career of one of the world’s most innovative artists, Bjork. It will be aired in September 2002.
With exclusive access to the star, Inside Bjork (1 x 60′) will chart Bjork’s unorthodox career from her early work in Icelandic acts Tappi Tikarrass, Kukl and The Sugarcubes to huge international acclaim for her solo work. The singer will reveal, for the first time, the secrets of her creative process by giving the viewer a look at her home and studio.
The Grammy and Brit Award winning artist is renowned for her distinctive sound and has admirers including Madonna, Prince, Bono and REM’s Michael Stipe. Inside Bjork will include contributions from superstars Elton John and Sean Penn, designers Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen, and fellow musicians Beck, Missy Elliot and Thom Yorke from Radiohead. Plus the documentary will controversially include an interview with ‘Dancer in the Dark’ director, Lars Von Trier. Read the rest…

Film-maker PT Anderson (Magnolia, Boogie Nights) has a new movie coming out called Punch-Drunk Love and was recently asked in an interview if the title was taken from the Radiohead b-side Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong:
Did Radiohead’s B-Side ‘Punch-Drunk Lovesick Sing-Along’ factor in during the writing stage? The lyrics and feel of the tune etc.
no feel, no tune, just the slang….love ’em sooo much but don’t even really know that one well…..it’s almost a bit of accidentally on purpose…..(sp?)
