Thom will be on today’s episode of Fresh Air hosted by Terry Gross. If you’re near your radio, definitely check it out. If not, I believe NPR should be streaming it live or have it available to listen afterwards.
Fresh Air is produced at WHYY-FM in Philadelphia and broadcast nationally by NPR. You should check the NPR Website to find out when it will air in your area.

Month: July 2006
The Eraser is out…. LEGALLY!
Thom Yorke’s album The Eraser is out in shops today in the UK and tomorrow in the US. Go and grab yourself a copy and rejoice. Of course, if you were one of the ones that downloaded the album when it leaked last month, you will be buying it, won’t you?
If you’re still on the fence about whether or not you should check out this “solo” effort by Thom, maybe these reviews will help you:
Pitchfork
Times Online
Guardian Unlimited

“Harrowdown Hill” is set to be released as a single off of Thom Yorke’s album The Eraser and will be out on August 21, 2006 according to XL Recordings. It’ll be released as 12″ vinyl and what’s even better is that there will be two b-sides called “The Drunkk Machine” and “Jetstream”. Nice!
Have you seen this man?
Check out this site and try to figure out what it is. Don’t worry, we’re here to help. It looks like a cool promotional stunt for The Eraser. Our guess is that you have to go about looking for this guy who is holding a pair of headphones. Take a listen. Take a picture. Upload it.
We assume this is happening in London only. The image above should give you a hint on where to find him.
