Here’s the latest email from the people at w.a.s.t.e.:

Hello all,
As you will note, this is a short (yet sweet) message to notify w.a.s.t.e. members of two things.

One
We have recently added a pleasant garment to our range of pleasant garments. The new reversible shirt is to be found in the brand spanking new section.

Two
Following Stanley Donwood and Tchocky’s success at the Grammy awards (Best Recording Package for the Amnesiac Limited Edition), we have managed to get hold of the Amnesiac Limited Edition. This can be found in the listen and watch section as Amnesiac CD and booklet.

That’s all for now.
w.a.s.t.e.

New album news

From www.worldpop.com:

Radiohead plan to go back into the studio in May to record a new album according to Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien. The guitarist told worldpop: ‘The band are planning a get-together in May in the studio. We’re putting all gigs on hold at the moment to concentrate on writing new material.’
Speaking at yesterday’s NME/Carling Awards where the band won the award for Best Video for Pyramid Song, O’Brien said the new album may be a return to a guitar based format, ditching the electronica the band experimented with on Kid A and Amnesiac. ‘We’re listening to a lot of guitar music at the moment,’ said O’Brien. ‘I like a lot of the new bands like Electric Soft Parade.’

‘It’s a bit embarrassing to pick up an award for Best Video,’ continued the guitarist, ‘because it wasn’t made by us.’

O’Brien also refuted the band’s critics who claim they make depressing records. ‘We don’t make unhappy records. We make uplifting ones,’ he said.

Radiohead’s guitarist Jonny Greenwood has also contributed to a new Bryan Ferry solo album entitled Frantic. The album is released on 15 April and Greenwood played on the track, Hiroshima.

Roger Waters on Radiohead

There is an interview with Roger Waters in the current issue of Rolling Stone where he mentions Radiohead. Here they are:

Have you heard Radiohead?
My son Harry gave me OK Computer. I really liked it. I thought it had two or three really great songs on it. Then a friend gave me a newish album with a red thing, I can’t even remember what it was called —

“Amnesiac”?
Yeah, Amnesiac. That was beyond me, I have to say. I listened to it once in the car and went, “Well, OK, guys. Good, but you’ve left me.” You know, where’s my Neil Young? Where’s my John Lennon album?

It’s very difficult to write “Breathe, breathe in the air, don’t be afraid to care,” without people going, “Fucking wanker!” [laughs]. And I think that’s what Radiohead and these other bands are attaching to. There is a purity in those records.
