Lottery

We got a email from the lovely people at w.a.s.t.e. saying that there will be a ticket lottery for the August 7 show at Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl show on August 20. Here are more details.

Knives Out video
This actually should be posted on the “rumors” page but what the hell. The video just wrapped up being shot in Paris, France with Thom and actress Emma DeCaunes. The two are shown arguing in a train and a hospital, with images of blood and scars. The video is being directed by Michel Gondry and should be released soon. Should be interesting… {thanks to Jonathan}

Tonight

Tonight the band will be playing the Gorge in George, WA.

A concert set for Aug. 1 in Grant Park by the white-hot rock group Radiohead will mark an unprecedented experiment in outdoor admission-only concerts on Chicago’s “front lawn.” Producers will construct a temporary fenced venue for the show, which could attract fans who were unable to get a ticket.

The concert by the British quintet sold 16,000 tickets in four minutes last Saturday (as fast as the system can sell tickets), evidence of a great demand among fans to see the group, whose computer-heavy art rock sound is credited with transforming contemporary music. Whether the show will mark a successful new way of producing such events?raditionally held in amphitheaters or sports stadiums?s open to question, depending on how traffic, security and crowd control outside the concert is handled.

MTV 2 (USA) will be airing a Radiohead special on July 4. During this special will be an “amazing” interview that all five members of the band did with Gideon Yago while at the Red Rocks concert. There will also be some live footage as well. {thanks to Ultragrrrl, Diskeater, & Torie}

VH1 has a new Radiohead Player for you to download.

The 1998 Amnesty International Concert that Radiohead took part in will air on TNT Latin America on Thursday, June 28th at 17:45 (GMT -5), 19:45 (in Argentina). Make sure to check your local listings. {thanks to italo rossi}

According to Radio 1’s Mark and Lard, the “Knives Out” single will be released in the UK on August 6. {thanks to Joe}

Check out this Amnesiac review.

A DJ called Dave Clarke has released an album caled “World Service”. It’s a double CD with an Electro and Techno mix. Featured on the Electro set is Radiohead’s “Idioteque” in full as appeared on Kid A without any re-mixing. Apparently Dave said the track was perfect as it was and required no-remixing to suit the electro genre. {thanks to Duncan}

Check out this page! It has got some really interesting stuff about Amnesiac and “Pyramid Song”.

www.meetingpeopleiseasy.de has gotten hold of some new promo pics. Yay!

Q Magazine has got a 20-page feature on Radiohead, their history, and what it was like to record OKC, Kid A, and Amnesiac. {thanks to Dave}

Radiohead Get Real With ‘Knives Out’ Video

Radiohead are working on the video for their next single, “Knives Out,” and the clip will feature real human beings for a change.

Following the abstract cartoon “iBlips” from Kid A and the computer-animated video for the U.K. single “Pyramid Song,” the band decided to go live action on this outing. Directed by Michel Gondry who helped Bjork achieve her quirky vision in the videos for “Human Behaviour,” “Hyperballad” and “Bachelorette,” among others the video features an appearance by lead singer Thom Yorke himself. From Sonicnet. {thanks to Luke and Charlie}

If you live in Illinois, Wisconsin or Indiana you can enter this contest for tickets to the Chicago show from WXRT. {thanks to Steve}

A radio station called 99.1 WHFS in the Washington D.C/Baltimore area is giving away Radiohead tickets to the Bull Run show all this week. To obtain these tickets, one must listen to the radio all week… {thanks to Lisa}

This is from U2.com:

U2 and RADIOHEAD join forces to raise the plight of AIDS holocaust in Africa.
This week fans are being invited to e-mail politicians and other leaders in the richest countries urging them to direct the IMF and World Bank to cancel the debts they are owed by the poorest countries.
This would free up hundreds of millions of dollars each year to help the fight against AIDS.
As well as lobbying politicians through the internet, supporters are also being invited to the STOP GLOBAL AIDS RALLY on June 23rd in New York.
Musicians, speakers and thousands of campaigners will be calling for urgent action to end the Global AIDS crisis. (Supporters assemble 11am at Washington Square Park (Manhattan) and march to Bryant Park for the rally.)
Campaigners are demanding urgent action ahead of the forthcoming UN summit on AIDS and are demanding a a New Deal on Debt to fight AIDS at the G7 meetings in Rome and Genoa in July.
Please cut, paste and send the e-letter below to the following email addresses of President Bush and other leaders of rich nations – known as the G7.
president@whitehouse.gov;
OPCmail@do.treas.gov;
pmartin@fin.gc.ca;

Dear G7 leaders
The AIDS holocaust in Africa requires urgent action. When 5,500 Africans die each day from AIDS it is strange that these poor countries still spend more repaying debts than on healthcare. This could be changed if you would agree to direct the IMF and World Bank to cancel the debts they are owed by the poorest countries. This would free up hundreds of millions of dollars each year to help the fight against AIDS.
Please consider this at the forthcoming UN summit on AIDS and agree a New Deal on Debt to fight AIDS at the G7 meetings in Rome and Genoa in July.
Future generations will judge ours by whether we saw the connection between the debt and AIDS crises, and acted to end both decisively.
Yours truly,
…………..

Canal+ Concert on MTV

MTV USA (yes, USA!) will be showing the Canal+ concert Radiohead recorded last April on June 5 at 10:30pm EST/PST.
You can now read the review of yesterday’s show at the Rock am Ring Festival in Germany.

From Capitol Records:
June 5th marks the arrival of not only Radiohead’s 5th album, Amnesiac, but the launch of the “soon to be world famous” GooglyMinotaur. Befriend him by adding his name to your instant message buddy list. He’s got the 411 on Radiohead past, present and future. But, that’s not all… he’ll challenge you with Radiohead trivia, hangman and more. Remind friends of the minotaur’s quintessential Amnesiac existence by collecting all four of his buddy icons and swapping them.

Plus, Radiohead is being crowned “Yahoo! Band of the Month” for June. The inauguration begins with an auction for front row seats to see the band on the first leg of their tour. The bidding starts with Houston and Denver. We’ll keep you updated as Yahoo puts more hot tickets on the auction block. All proceeds from the auctions go to Amnesty International.

Stan “The Man” Donwood made a post on the now grey official message board that the “rebirth” of radiohead.com will happen on Monday. {thanks to electioneer}

There will be a pretty big interview with Thom Yorke in this Sunday’s LA Times. The story will appear in the Calendar section with Thom on the cover! You can read the interview now Online. Snippet:

“To me, electronic music is the new folk music ’cause it’s that easy to use and generate,” he explains. “I find the noises I can get out of my laptop and all the gear that we’ve got in the studio far more stimulating than [conventional] rock instrumentation.”

{thanks to Chris & Andy}

Ed was interviewed by Dave Fanning on 2FM ( www.2fm.ie) last Thursday night. The interview lasted about 45 minutes and was conducted over the phone. Ed made some very interesting comments.

Regarding Kid A :
* “We knew that Kid A was challanging but we wanted to try out different techniques. Musically, it was really the test of the band.”
Regarding Amnesiac :
* “I got frustrated with Knives Out, we had lost the disipline to do stuff that’s straight ahead.”
* “Kid A is cold and numbed, it’s linear, but Amnesiac engages you more, there’s more emotion to it.”
Regarding the new material they have written since Amnesiac :
* “We’ve all come back with a new vigour in the past 8 weeks. The guitars are out again. The new stuff has a Crazy Horse vibe to it, it’s amazing.”
* “It’s bad for your head to make an album over a year and a half, so what were going do next is 2 three week sessions, and then finish that stuff.”
{thanks to Gerry}

Radiohead was featured on the American TV show “Jeopardy” last Friday (May 31st). In the category “Radio-logy” the question went *something* like this: “Kid A, an album from this British band fronted by singer Thom Yorke, was nominated at the 2001 Grammy Awards for Album of the Year.” {thanks to Steve}
