As the build-up to Radiohead’s highly anticipated new album ‘Hail To The Thief’ begins, BBC World Service will be broadcasting a major 4 part series which offers the first chance to hear the band talk about their controversial new record.
Presented by Steve Lamacq, who has had a close relationship with the band for over a decade, the series will tell the story of Radiohead from their early days at school together in Oxford, England, right through to the inside story on the recording sessions for their new material, and how the album is already causing a stir in the USA.
All five members of the band, including enigmatic frontman Thom Yorke, tell their story. As well as exclusive and extensive new interviews, the series will also draw on the huge BBC archive of sessions and live recordings, giving a rare opportunity to hear key moments throughout the band?s career.
The 4 parts of ‘The Radiohead Story’ on BBC World Service will be broadcast from Monday 18th April, then April 25th, May 5th, and May 12th. In the new World Service schedule, they are broadcast in the UK at 08.32, 13.32, 18.32, and 00.32 – times may differ around the world.
Details of how to receive BBC World Service Programmes can be found at www.bbcworldservice.com

Rolling Stone is reporting about the collaboration between Sigur Ros and Radiohead:

Sigur Ros return to the U.S. in October for a collaboration with Radiohead and choreographer Merce Cunningham at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The two bands will create music for Cunningham’s troupe, which will dance to their live performances. “It’s going to be quite experimental,” says Birgisson. “On the day it’s performed, we get to see the dance for the first time, and they hear the music. It will be spontaneous — and strange.”

The biggest “whodunnit?” in rock history has been launched by Radiohead, as they prepare a full investigation to try to catch the person responsible for the internet leak of their new album “Hail To The Thief”.
The hunt has been intensified by the group’s reported anger at the event, with band members expressing their discontentment with the situation. For one, drummer Phil Selway recently described himself as “disappointed that the album has already been uploaded onto the net.” Saying: “We don’t like anybody to hear our recordings until we are completely happy with them. These mixes of the songs were still ‘work in progress'”
Now Xfm Online can report that a full internal investigation will be launched by Radiohead’s record label Parlophone to find the culprit(s) responsible for leaking the album onto the net. However, despite the disclosure, Parlophone have taken the decision not to bring forward the release date of new single “There There”, despite industry rumours to the contrary.
