LOS ANGELES TICKETS SOLD OUT!
[30-09-00] The tickets for Radiohead's concert at the Los Angeles Greek Theatre has sold out in only 5 minutes time. The gig in LA was the only appearance in the US apart from Radiohead's performances on Saturday Night Live and Morning Becomes Eclectic. W.A.S.T.E. will probably sell some tickets to fanclub members on their website soon.

KID A - NOT A PERFECT CLONE
[30-09-00] Radiohead's 'Kid A' is dedicated to the first human clone, but cloning ordinary cd's is not working too well at the moment. The release of Kid A, friday in Europe, resulted in lots of mispressings. The CD starts with a 40 second live recording of a different band, which makes all the songs start 40 seconds later than the track mark.

So far, most of the releases in the Netherlands and Belgium are 'messed up'. So are the French versions, which aren't even on sale, because of the error. Record label EMI stopped distribution of all copies. A release in France is not expected before the actual release date of October 2nd. Only pre-ordered copies at french online stores were sent out .

Some international online stores sent the correct versions.

MORE ON THAT 5TH ALBUM
[26-09-00] Ed and Phil did an hour long interview with Paul Anderson from XFM in London yesterday. They talked about the album, the 'creative process' and touring. They revealed that the talked-about fifth LP is all recorded (it will use almost entirely material from the Kid A sessions) and they just have to decide on a track listing, although they indicated that songs such as 'Knives Out', 'Dollars and Cents', 'I Might Be Wrong' and 'Egyptian Song' were almost certain to make the cut. No release date has been decided, but they would like to get something out as soon as possible - they speculated March/April 2001, but that depends entirely on what happens in the mean time. They will be heading back into the studio in November to carry on recording more new material.[thanks Max]

NME REVIEWS KID A
[26-09-00] The NME put a 'Kid A' review online: "The unbearable heaviness of being Radiohead continues. Following the equivalent birth pains of a medium-sized galaxy, 'Kid A' arrives amidst the most fantastic stories of artistic constipation: abortive recording sessions, writer's block, band members wondering just what the hell it was they were meant to be doing, Doomsday scenarios around every corner. Seemingly overwhelmed by the exorbitant praise heaped upon 'OK Computer', Radiohead elected to get in touch with their avant-garde side, that time (dis)honoured escape clause in the white liberal rock star's lexicon of How To Deal With Success. But although they might disavow the process, Radiohead have been complicit in their own deification through sheer aptitude. Now, predictably, in attempting to reinvent themselves as a more elusive entity, they've made a record that by its mere existence will only heighten the intrigue and intensify their global cult". Read the full review here.

[thanks Mikkel Rasborg Mortensen]

RADIOHEAD IN NIJMEGEN (2)
[17-09-00] Here's a short impression of Radiohead's 2nd gig in Nijmegen (Netherlands). Again, a great set with a few changes compared to the previous night. No cover song this night, but an acoustic 'killer cars'. Thom didn't say much, but he seemed in a good mood and was more talktive than last night. 'Morning Bell' was announced as: 'this is a song about amnesia'. 'Karma Police': "this one's for the girl dressed like a fairy. We're dressing up tonight". Just before 'Egyptian song' Thom got a big balloon with Bert (you know, the one without a last name who lives with Ernie:)) on it. Thom attached the balloon to the piano while playing "egyptian song". As mentioned a few weeks ago, Dutch Radio station 3FM will broadcast this show in two parts, starting on September 30th.

The full setlist: optimistic * airbag * national anthem * morning bell * fake plastic trees * you and whose army * planet telex * lucky * in limbo * dollars and cents * climbing up the walls * exit music * paranoid android * how to disappear * idioteque * just * everything in it's right place * ENCORE #1: no surprises * knives out * karma police * egyptian song ENCORE #2: killer cars (acoustic) * my iron lung

RADIOHEAD IN NIJMEGEN
[16-09-00] Radiohead played their first gig in Nijmegen last night for 10.000 people at the Goffertpark. It was the first dutch gig since Oktober 1997 (apart from Jonny & Thom's appearance at the Tibetan Freedom Concert in '99).

The band played a great set. The audience was able to view the concert on video screens as well, which was done very good. Not the usual static stuff you get to see at big concerts. The setlist was quite similar to the previous ones on the tent tour. "I might be wrong" was played again. This was the first time i heard the full band version. Really excellent. Just like the gigs in Copenhagen and Werchter last week, a cover song was included again: The Thief (Can).

Here's the full set: national anthem * morning bell * lucky * you and whose army * optimistic * street spirit * the bends * paranoid android * in limbo * dollars and cents * climbing up the walls * exit music * pearly * how to disappear completely * idioteque * just * everything in it's right place * ENCORE #1: airbag * i might be wrong * the thief * nice dream * ENCORE #2: motion picture soundtrack * karma police

VPRO INTERVIEW - THOM YORKE
[15-09-00] Journalist Gijsbert Kamer (Volkskrant & Loladamusica) was interviewed for VPRO's Radio 3voor12 where he talked about Radiohead's show in Copenhagen, Kid A and his interview with Thom Yorke. The interview was for VPRO Television's show 'Loladamusica' (soon to be broadcast in the Netherlands). There were certain issues that he wouldn't discus such as his position in the band and the 'writer's block' before the recordings of 'Kid A'. Thom Yorke told he had to be convinced by the other band members to start another tour. The last tour was just six months too long and that really depressed Yorke. The song 'How to disappear...' is about that previous period. He also explained that he doesn't believe in the rock/guitar music as a way to express his creativity. He's fed up with the rock world, as played on the previous albums. But asked why the band still plays those old songs with the same devotion as the new ones. Thom Yorke answered that he's still proud of the old ones. More on Radiohead at www.3voor12.nl

CANADA'S XFM IN TROUBLE?
[14-09-00] XFM in Canada had obtained and broadcast a digital copy of the track 'Optimistic' ahead of its official radio release. The station was issued with a notice from Radiohead’s label EMI to cease and desist playing the song until the album’s official release to radio. The station complied, but the story then emerged on the front cover of the Vancouver Sun. Talking to local newspaper the Vancouver Province, David Hawkes, director of marketing and artist relations for XFM, said: "I would imagine (EMI) is pretty pleased because they got a nice colour photo of the band on the front cover. That's the ironic thing. We've created more of a splash for the upcoming Radiohead release than they have." He continued: "We did more marketing for this band in this market (Canada) than its marketing people did, that's the reality of it. Six months ago I think there'd be problems. But two weeks before the release, it creates a little storm."

Songs tipped to appear on the new album include 'Knives Out', 'Egyptian Song' and 'Dollars And Cents' which the band have played on recent live outings.

LAST NIGHT'S U.S. PLAYBACK
[06-09-00] Over 150 Radiohead fans were turned away from a multi-media playback of 'KID A' at the Imax Theatre in New York last night (September 5). nme.com joined the 600 fans who were lucky enough to get tickets for the first public airing of the album almost a month before it’s US release. Tickets for the showing in the seven-story theatre had been available on the door from 6pm on a first-come, first-served basis. Unlike the 'Kid A' playbacks in the UK so far, the US playback was multi-media. As the Radiohead faithful trooped into the auditorium, they were handed a pair of 3-D glasses to absorb the aquarium-like visuals that accompanied the playback. A representative from the band’s US record label Capitol introduced the album, warning the audience to "expect the unexpected," adding that the 3-D visuals had not been specially created for the performance. In addition to the fans who made it in to the playback, Beastie Boys’ DJ Mixmaster Mike was also in attendance. [from nme.com] Read the full story here.

RADIOHEAD BEST BAND EVER?
[05-09-00] Thats the word on the web with news that Radiohead and the Beatles scored big on the latest 'Best Albums Of All Time' list. Between them, the Beatles and Radiohead filled the Top 5 in the Virgin All Time Top 1,000 Albums tome. Revolver scored top spot from a voting pool of 200,000 punters and music journos. In second place was Radiohead's 1995 album, The Bends, followed by the Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, OK Computer and The White Album. The Beatles also came in at number 8 with Abbey Road. Such lists are nearly always dominated by records made way back in the mists of time, so it's a milestone in modern pop that a band formed less than ten years ago has enough pull to challenge the all-time greats. (The last edition of the book came out in 1998 with The Bends and OK Computer at number 10 and number 21, respectively.) "I think we've been searching for many years for a legitimate replacement to the dinosaur bands," said the book's editor, Colin Larkin. Further evidence of a minor changing of the guard comes with the revelation that the Rolling Stones don't even rate a mention in the top ten. Not that the oldies are under-represented. Bob Dylan's Blood On The Tracks and Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon took out possies 7 and 9 respectively. That final two places went to R.E.M.'s Automatic For The People (number 6) and The Smiths' The Queen Is Dead (number 10), thus confirming that both groups have truly achieved Triple M-approved 'classic rock' status.

Unfortunately, most of you out there will indeed miss it, because not everyone has the pleasure of living in New York, and secondly, there are only a very limited number of tickets available for the common-folk. They will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis beginning at 6PM Tuesday night (Sept. 5) only. [from www.spin.com].
