NME is conducting two seperate polls, both of which you may want to vote in.
First off, it’s time agin for the NME Awards. It’s a write-in ballot with tons of categories, and needless to say Radiohead would be an appropriate choice for several of them. Vote here.
NME is also polling it’s readers for a future list of the most essential Radiohead songs of all time. You can vote here.
The w.a.s.t.e. Ticket Emporium is giving it up yet again, with general admission (standing) tickets to the December 4th show at The Point in Dublin.
Tickets are also still available for Syndey, Melbourne, London, and Aberdeen shows.
Place your order here.
UPDATE: London tickets appear to have sold out.
UPDATE 2: So have Aberdeen and Dublin tickets. Australian shows remain available.
Rolling Stone put out a list of what they consider the 500 best albums of all time. Radiohead rated three of those.
#110- The Bends
#162- OK Computer
#428- Kid A
You can see the entire list here. Number one, not surprisingly, is The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Thom and Ed appeared on Radio 1 today with DJ Mark Radcliffe. 2+2=5 was played, and Follow Me Around was played by Thom on a 1940s acoustic guitar. There was also an odd little segment called “Thom Yorke’s Schooldays”.
You can listen to Follow Me Around and some clips from the show here.
(Thanks to Mark.)
From the Guardian Unlimited site:
Radiohead’s Thom Yorke is live on Guardian Unlimited on Friday November 21 2003 at 5pm talking about the band’s latest project, The Most Gigantic Lying Mouth of All Time.
Several months ago, Radiohead asked their fans to submit any animation or live action work that could be cut to Radiohead music. The result is four half hour programmes featuring a mix of music past, present and future, Thom’s drawings, animation, interviews … all linked by a man called Chieftan Mews.
You can watch it for yourself on http://www.radiohead.tv, and then log on on Friday to talk to Thom about it.
If you have difficulty logging on then email your question to: arts.editor@guardianunlimited.co.uk
