Is there a reason of why is BBC promoting Radiohead so much now? Don’t recall this happening with other albums. Is the non-political profile of IR which finally got bbc to embrace them? What’s next? Are they gonna be knighted?

Well, the BBC has always had quite a good relationship with Radiohead. Lots of appearances on Steve Lamacq, various DJ slots in the past and present, not to mention the fact that Jonny was composer-in-residence at the BBC for a year. So it’s not really all that surprising.

Oh, and it probably helps that Radiohead is the 3rd most popular band amongst BBC employees, if you believe the stats of their Facebook network

Jools Holland saying that ‘Later’ would
be back with a special show 10pm Tuesday
April 1st, as well as the usual Friday night
‘Later’ slot. 2+2=..?
