Seriously people, we cringed at the thought of posting anything Britney on this site but we just couldn’t resist this. Mrs. Spears was photographed with a copy of Pablo Honey recently. Why is this important news? It’s not. We’re going to take this moment to beg Radiohead to start generating headlines so we don’t have to post stuff like this. Heck, we’ll even take some pictures of Phil Selway getting in to his car with a Britney CD if you got them! Anything!
If you want to see the entire set of Britney pictures, you can here.

At Ease has mp3s up of the two new songs performed by Thom Yorke last week at the Trade Justice vigil. There seems to be some confusion on the name of the second song, “Glass Flowers”. We are betting that this song is actually “Last Flowers“, which has been kicking around since the OK Computer sessions. It’s possible that the NME got the name wrong.
There also videos up of the performance here.
