Radiohead were guests on the Jonathan Ross show. Thom and Jonny were first introduced while sitting in a back room on a sofa with Shania Twain. Once the other guest interviews were finished the band played “There There” (with Ed and Jonny on drums too), after which Thom and Jonny were interviewed. During the interview they readily agreed to perform as the UK entrant to the Eurovision Song Contest (a Europe wide, very cheesy, pop competition in which points are awarded by the voting public of each partaking country), and Thom was told that he looked like someone that Fagin (from Oliver Twist) would have in his gang of pickpockets!! The band then performed a marvellous rendition of “Fake Plastic Trees” to finish the show. Below are some screenshots. Click on each one to enlarge.

From the NME:
THOM YORKE has described HAIL TO THE THIEF’ as ‘OK COMPUTER 2’ – but said that in two years time the band will be “completely unrecognisable”.
The group have just finished a tour of UK clubs to promote their forthcoming album, which is due on June 9.
Speaking to Dutch magazine OOR, Thom said he’s no idea what the future will hold for the band, but he expects their music to change dramatically.
“We’re a pop band again for now, because it was necessary,” he said. “Just doing what we’re good at. But, no matter how good I feel about the new album and how much fun we’re having in what we do right now, we’ve been there already. We’re not moving.
“This is ‘OK Computer 2’. What we will do from now on, should not be anything like we’ve done before. We will not go further back, like everyone expects. There won’t be a second ‘The Bends’. There is not a single good reason for it. As a band, we have fully discussed this matter recently. Radiohead will be completely unrecognisable in two years. At least, I hope so. It’s the only perspective of the future that I can live with.”
Radiohead fans will now have to wait until next month’s headline appearance at the Glastonbury festival (June 28) until the band play live in the UK again.
