Radiohead on Letterman Tonight
Don’t forget to catch Radiohead on the Late Show with David Letterman tonight! The show airs on CBS at 11:30 PM ET/PT.
Austrailian radio station Triple J will broadcast a special live set recorded at Glastonbury on Friday, October 24th, at 5PM.
We’ll keep you posted with more details, including exactly what they’re playing and when (I’d assume the 5pm is Sydney time, meaning 3AM Friday EST and 8AM Friday London time, but you never can tell these days).

Remix Album in 2004?
From NME’s website…
RADIOHEAD are planning a remix album or EP for 2004, according to US reports.
As previously reported, in the UK the band are to release alternative versions of songs from ?Hail To The Thief? on their new single ?2+2=5?, which is released on November 10.
MTV news in the US reports that the band are also looking to their favourite artists to rework some of their songs for an EP or album release. Musicians said to be involved include hip-hop producer Madlib, who will rework ‘Sit Down. Stand Up’, as well as Four Tet.
A UK spokesperson for the band told NME.COM there are no plans to release the album in the UK.
Alternative versions on their single include a Christian Vogel remix of ?Myxomatosis?, a Four Tet remix of ?Scatterbrain?, a demo version of ?There There? and an alternative mix of ?I Will?, made at the legendary Ocean Way studio in LA.
UPDATE: It should be noted that this is a highly unsubstantiated rumour, and would by no means be the first time NME was wrong.
