Oxegen 07, T in the Park, & Bonnaroo

The lineup for Oxegen 07 was announced and there is no mention of Radiohead.

Radiohead was rumored to be playing this festival but of course, that was just a rumor. There is some speculation that they may still headline Sunday night. Who knows.

While the chances of Radiohead playing Oxegen are now slimmer than before, we can still look to the T in the Park festival.

Though nothing has been announced officially about the band being there, we continue to get word that it should happen.

How about Bonnaroo? After last year’s awesome (and lengthy performace) by Radiohead at the Manchester, Tennessee festival, many people have asked us if they will be back this year. Nope. It’s not going to happen folks. Sorry. Our guess is that the timing is just bad. You do want them to finish the new album, right?

Speaking of the new album… we should hopefully have some updates for you soon on this, as well as the tour, soon.

“Harrowdown Hill” at SXSW

Thom Yorke’s video for “Harrowdown Hill” will be screened at this year’s SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas. Here are the deets:

SCREENING TIMES:
10:30 PM, Saturday March 10th – Dobie
11:30 AM, Saturday March 17th – Dobie
Director: Chel White
Cast: Thom Yorke, David Russo
Format: HDCam
Synopsis:
While Harrodown Hill is based on the controversial suicide case of British scientist and weapons inspector David Kelly, the video does not reference the case literally but rather does so through metaphor and symbolic imagery. White’s video is a quietly intense call to consciousness in an age of disinformation, preemptive war and unprecedented governmental secrecy.

Of course, you don’t need to go to Austin to see this video. It’s been out for some time and can be seen at YouTube.

YouTube Friday

We have two videos for you today. The first is a clip of Thom Yorke talking about people that have sex while listening to Radiohead. This is appropriate because just this week, Christina Aguilera said that she likes to listen to Radiohead while having sex with her boyfriend.

The second video is a performance of “You” by Thom and Jonny. Good stuff.

Thom responds to Noel

A new Dead Air Space post was posted today by Thom. At the end, Thom refrences one of Noel Gallagher’s classy quotes:

“I never went to f****** university. I don’t know what a paint brush is, I never went to art school.”

Thom responds, “i did. it taught me to respect other artists.”

Woot! Good to see Thom stick up for himself after Noel criticized him last week.

Thom also links to http://www.guardian.co.uk/nuclear which you should check out if you’re in to that sort of thing.

Oh, if you’re curious as to where Thom got the quote from Noel, check this out.

UPDATE: We have been told that this is not the official Lowlands site so this may all be crap. Whatever. 🙂

No Brit Love For Thom

Thom didn’t win the Brit award for “British Male Solo Artist” tonight… James Morrison did. Whatever.
