The Ovation Network (USA) will be broadcasting highlights from the 2003 Montreux Jazz Festival. Radiohead is part of the show today, starting at 8pm EST (5pm PST). Also appearing on the two-hour program will be Jamiroquai, Morcheeba, George Benson, Natalie Cole, Simply Red, Bonnie Raitt, The Pretenders and Van Morrison, so I wouldn’t expect more than one or two songs.

The Independent has put out a list of who they consider to be the 100 most influential people in the music industry, and Thom is at #30.
Sure, he’s behind Eminem (#1), Coldplay’s Chris Martin (#10), 50 Cent (#11), and Britney Spears (#17), but he is ranked ahead of Yoko Ono (#31), Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (#53), and Lil’ Jon (#88). Nigel Godrich is also on board, at #74.

Radiohead.com Updated
Behold, version 1.2 of Radiohead.com is online! We could tell you that nothing is different, or we could tell you that everything is different, but either way, it’d be impossible to prove.

‘Lucky’ Played on Six Feet Under
‘Lucky’ was played on this weeks episode of HBO’s Six Feet Under, at the very end of the episode and through the credits.

Alan Cross’ (of Toronto’s The Edge 102.1 FM’s highly-rated “Ongoing History of New Music”) much-coveted Radiohead documentaries are now online, in transcript from. These highly complete transcripts are divided into four parts. The obsessive fan will not learn much, but the casual fan who sometimes doesn’t know what people are talking about on the boards will be an expert in no time. Highly recommended stuff.
We’ll give you a link to the archives, because there’s more to check out than just the Radiohead (but you can go there first…we’ll understand).
