This weeks ‘Ticket magazine’ with the Irish Times, features an interview with founder of the Velvet Undergrond, John Cale. When asked about experimentation in music today he spoke of Radiohead’s new work saying:

“I had a good laugh when I heard Kid A & Amnesiac – for the right reasons. It’s great what they’ve done, I just wish I could have seen a response from the record company. But that’s what rock ‘n roll is all about. I laud their sense of willfulness. It’s better than going out & burning cars isn’t it? I think what Radiohead is doing will work for them. Why wouldn’t it. People love heroisim.”

Thom: “Do you guys have traffic problems here?”

Radiohead rocked Houston last night with a 22 song, 2 1/2 hour set that left fans aching for more. The Beta Band, who’s van broke down on the way there, did not perform and was replaced by a local DJ. For the setlist and some great reviews, click here.

Amnesiac is #2 in Italy. {thanks to Marco}

Radiohead is mentioned again in the latest installment of Rollingstone.com’s Well Hung at Dawn. Argh. {thanks to Chris}

OK Computer Radiohead Thom Yorke tour

Houston

Radiohead will play tonight in Houston.

London radio station 104.9 XFM will be broadcasting the July 7 Radiohead Oxford show starting at 5pm. For those who can’t get the station you can listen to it on the Website. {thanks to Karin}

Thom is on the cover of the July issue of Rolling Stone in Australia. {thanks to Ivana}

You can hear a clip of the Luka Bloom cover of “No Surprises” here. Here are some comments made by Bloom:

“People ask me if I have heard their new CD. I heard a few pieces on the radio and I’m not really interested. I respect the decisions and choices made by every artist, and whether or not I like the result is irrelevant. I just like songs. I think Thom Yorke is a magnificent writer. He has written some brilliant songs and Radiohead is a great band. No Surprises is a very beautiful, very sad song. It was not easy to catch the power acoustically. Thom Yorke sings it in a very intense way and I felt it was a real challenge to achieve that same feeling using just the acoustic guitar. But I like such a challenge. Records these days are so full of production gadgets that you have to listen many times to hear the good songs. I wanted to see if I could turn a Radiohead song into a Luka Bloom song.”
