To a lot of Radiohead fans, this is music to their ears. Thom updated Dead Air Space today with what’s been happening in the studio. It seems as if “Nude” (sometimes called “Big Ideas”) is being recorded as a possible track on the new album. This song has been kicking around since the OK Computer days and is definitely a crowd favorite.

Happy Valentine’s Day! What would this day be without some celebrity crushes?
Gwyneth Paltrow, who is married to Coldplay’s Chris Martin, revealed on Los Angeles radio station 103.1 FM that if she ever got a “free pass” to bed another man, “it would be with someone like Phil Selway, my musical hero.”
She then added: “I admire him so much.” Paltrow also mentioned that she loves Madonna’s boobs but we’ll leave that alone.
