thom yorke as a ballerina
[Thursday 31-01-02]
Well not quite.......but close. You can check
out the first ever Radiohead ballet on April 20th. A ballet
completely choreographed to Radiohead's music, with a Radiohead
theme, produced by Kristal Allen. She have been producing/organizing
shows for the past 3 years. Because this show is TOTALLY nonprofit,
instead of asking for admission, Kristal asks that every member
of the audience bring food for needy in her community. Due to
the budget (or lack thereof), this is a one time show.
Here are the details
What: The Radiohead Ballet
When: April 20th 2002, 7:30 pm
Where: North Eguene High School Auditorium
200 Silver Lane, Eugene, Oregon, USA, 97404
How much: Free! Though a food donation is suggested.
E-mail: Winter45@aol.com
Capitol's iBlip and the Googly Minotaur will no longer be available
after today. Pay your respects to Googly today by IM'ing him
your final well wishes. After Thursday, you may send your condolences
to the bereaved at freegoogly@hollywoodandvine.com.
planet telex on
XFM remix album
[Wednesday 30-01-02]
As already announced in December Radiohead are
to feature on a XFM
remix album. Today, the track is confirmed to be Planet
Telex, remixed by UNKLE. The album will be released on 18 February.
And now we're at XFM
anyway, check their Cameron Crowe (director of Vanilla Sky)
interview, with quote #3746 on Radiohead: Particularly
the Kid A and Amnesiac phase of Radiohead,
because it's just rich and multi-layered, its kind of
like you've ripped open the human mind and it's the thoughts
and sounds of what goes on in the psyche, and that's what we
wanted Vanilla Sky to feel like. And it's also fun.
I find Radiohead to be fun as well as challenging.
Radiohead's cover of Neil Young's cinnamon girl
is back for download. This time only available for atease
mailinglist subscribers.
Channel V Australia are replaying the Reflections
on Kid A interview on February 6th [thanks James]

Kid Rock 'doesn't
get' Radiohead
[Monday 07-01-02]
Kid Rock says he doesn't understand the appeal
of Radiohead. He says their music does nothing for him. But
he thinks a joint tour with the British band could be fun.Kid
Rock told Q magazine: "I don't hate them, I just don't
understand them. I've listened to their music and it does nothing
for me. "If I have a party on tour I'm not going to grab
for the Radiohead CD to get the party started." The star
joked it might be funny to tour together. "They can go
out and be sad and I'll pick 'em up." [from ananova]

In the new Spin (Feb 2002), Radiohead was #15 top band of all
time. Spin claims that Travis, Sigur Ros, Coldplay, Clinic,
JJ72, Doves, Elbow, Wes Borland are influenced by Radiohead.
The magazine named OK Computer as their Classic Album.
"On 1995's The Bends, Radiohead were a compelling young
Brit-Pop band, but with follow-up OK Computer, they spooked
rock fans into a new level of obsession. The album's brooding
minor chords and white-noise buzz grew more claustrophobic with
each track, even as Thom Yorke'spersonal-yet-impersonal lyrics
made songs about car crashes and crushed insects somehow moving.
Newer bands began to cop Radiohead's paranoid but confessional,
slurry but catchy approach. In response, they sighed deeply
and recorded Kid A, somehow transforming glitchy prog rock into
classic pop." [thanks chance]
At the Pacific Science Center in Seattle, Washington they now
have a Lazer Radiohead show in the regular schedule (Thur. thru
Sat. I believe) for those interested who live in the area. Lazer
lighting tastefully accompanied songs from all five albums.
