There are some pictures and audio from last week’s Neil Finn show in Manchester where Ed and Phil joined Finn on stage. Go forth and enjoy! The audio was recorded with a mobile phone so don’t expect great quality… 😉

There will be an Amnesiac listenning party at the Paramount Famous Player in Montreal on Ste-Catherine West Street on May 24th. The only way to get in is to listen to radio station COOL FM 98.5 and win tickets.

Interview with GP Webmaster

There is an article at Digital Music Weekly which talks about the Online promotion for Amnesiac. The article also has a small interview piece with a certain Green Plastic Webmaster. *blushes* 🙂

You can read the full NME interview with Thom here.

Also from the NME:

Radiohead are to appear on ‘Top of the Pops’. The band will record a live version their forthcoming single ‘Pyramid Song’ at a filming in west London later today (May 17). In addition, they will also record a version of ‘Knives Out’, the track which is strongly rumoured to be the second single from the band’s forthcoming album ‘Amnesiac’, released on June 4 via Parlophone. It is expected that neither track will feature on this week’s edition of the popular BBC chart show, broadcast every Friday from 7.30pm – instead the songs will be used in a future broadcast.”

Read the article here.

There is a review of Amnesiac at stopsmiling.net

There are going to be some Amnesiac listening parties in Canada on May 24. Right now we only know of two so hopefully there will be more announced soon. One will be happening at the Coliseum Movie Theater in Ottawa. The other will at the Famous Players Paramount Theatre in Toronto where you need to bring in a non-perishable food item in order to get in. It starts at 11pm.
