Radiohead’s Phil Selway will be performing on June 14th and 16th at the Barbican as part of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company EVENTs. The show is running from June 14th – 19th and tickets are £10.

One choreographer, 6 nights, 6 EVENTs. This remarkable series will be like no other – a celebration of Cunningham’s visionary collaborations with guest visual and musical artists. Each EVENT will contain different choreography, different décor and different musical accompaniment, all conceived specifically for the Barbican stage by ‘the high priest of pure movement’ Daily Telegraph.

Wow, Stanley Donwood has been generating a lot of news lately! We have received the latest word from the Slowly Downward camp that chapter 2 from Stan’s online novel “My Giro” is available.

A SMALL ANNOUNCEMENT:
The second chapter of My Giro will be available to download as a PDF
from www.slowlydownward.com from the 12th May.
The first chapter will still be available too. In case you missed it.
For those unfamiliar with the term, ‘giro’ is short for ‘girocheque’,
which is what you get every fortnight if you are on the dole in the UK.
If you’re lucky.
-Stanley Donwwod, prop. Slowly Downward Manufactory.

Looks like a new page has been added to the official Radiohead website. If you go to the “scrapbook” area and click a few links, you’ll notice a “leave” link at the bottom right. That page (click here for it) describes what’s going on with those buttons everywhere.

Most of the sites that most people visit throw you cookies which you accept without realising, unless you have configured your web browser to alert you about this. This information – the pages you visit, the choices you make, the interests you express, where you come from, the frequency of your visits, and so on – is extremely valuable. There are hundreds of companies, employing countless people, that exist for this very purpose. We don’t sell the information that we get from you – instead, stupidly, we use it to make graphs. For no reason at all, except perhaps to alert vigilant visitors to what’s being done with the information they volunteer every time they open up their web connection.

Very interesting…
