not much new today. can’t wait for that r.e.m. tour! anyway, here’s an article from NME:

JONNY BLOWS IT

RADIOHEAD guitarist Jonny Greenwood has made a guest appearance on the new Pavement album – playing harmonica. The collaboration came about because the album, as-yet untitled and due out in June, is being produced by Nigel Godrich, who produced Radiohead’s 1997 album ‘OK Computer’, as well as last year’s ‘Mutations’ by Beck. When Godrich decided he wanted some harmonica on part of the Pavement album, he asked Greenwood to do it. Pavement’s spokesman said: “I’m sure they’re fans of each other’s. Radiohead have pretty good taste!”

for those of you in america who can’t possibly wait for the april release of ‘Meeting People is Easy’, visit cdeurope.com where, for an extra $15, they’ll transfer the PAL VHS version available in europe to the american format.
cheers!

no surprises went to number 4 in the UK charts.

the michael stipe produced movie, Velvet Goldmine, which features radiohead on the soundtrack, will be premiered this april at the Cannes Film Festival. the world-wide release will be in june. if haven’t heard about this movie, it stars Ewan McGregor (trainspotting) and is loosely based on David Bowie and Iggy Pop. sort of a glam rock thing, if you will. the soundtrack will include a super band composed of thom and jonny with some others:

vocals: thom yorke, jonathan rhys myers
guitars: jonny greenwood, bernard buttler (suede), brian from placebo
bass: steffan from placebo
drums: drummer from placebo

the band will be playing such hits as 2HB, Ladytron, Bittersweet, and Baby’s on Fire. the soundtrack will be released in may.

the radiohead mailing list seems to be down. anyone know why?
