Rehearsal pictures on Dead Air Space

Colin has just posted a couple of pictures from the band's rehearsals on Radiohead's blog, Dead Air Space.

Another Radiohead tribute album in the works

German music site Visions claim the Roots' drummer and producer ?uestlove is working the together with James Poyser as the Randy Watson Experience on a cover of Radiohead's 'Exit Music (for a film)'

The track will be part of a forthcoming Radiohead tribute on the BBE Records label. The earlier reported version of Mark Ronson and Alex Greenwald of 'Just' will be included on the album as well.

One of the other contributing artists Bilal, told The Couch Sessions: "Although most people consider me the go to guy for all things UK, I've never been a huge fan of Radiohead. I've just never been that depressed to get into their music. I would still take OK Computer or Kid A over X&Y for a listen any day, but I can't say that I have the whole Radiohead collection in my possession. Having that said, "High and Dry" is probably one of my favorite songs from the band and it's about time that someone did a Radiohead remix album. (I actually floated around the concept 2 years ago to no avail.)

This track is from an upcoming BBE records Radiohead remixed album that's rumored to have ?uestlove, 9th Wonder, and the usual crew associated with the project. I'm anxiously awaiting the results." [thanks Oliver]

Thom & Jonny to play exlusive Big Ask gig

Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood will headline an exclusive gig at Koko in London on May 1st. The show is in support of 'The Big Ask', a Friends of The Earth campaign which is calling on the UK government to take action to control climate change. This will be the first live performance by Thom and Jonny for over a year; Radiohead are currently in the studio working on new music.

The bank holiday show is just one of the highlights of 'The Big Ask Live', a series of concerts taking place across the UK that will feature some of the biggest names and the brightest new talent in British music.

Thom said; "The best thing about 'The Big Ask' for me is the fact that there's no longer this sense of powerlessness, which is what I had for so long about climate change". For the latest information go to www.thebigask.com

Thom & Jonny on Dead Air Space

Thom and Jonny have posted on Dead Air Space. Jonny posted about the wonders of Google Earth, while Thom came through another crises. Sounds like an introduction for a new episode of your favourite television series. Well, it's not. This is it.

Oh, and the message board is back online. I should stop messing around with databases.

Paranoid Android main theme in anime 'Ergo Proxy'

Radiohead's Paranoid Android will be the main theme for new Japanese anime 'Ergo Proxy'. Apparently the creators of the show really wanted to use the song in the show and Radiohead only let them after seeing a preview. [thanks Jason & Jasmine]

Rock 4 do Paranoid Android acapella

Dutch vocal quartet Rock4 have done an acapella version of Radiohead's Paranoid Android. A video of the performance is available on their website (go to media and then video). [thanks Frank]

Another post from Thom: Big Ask Campaign Video

Thom has made yet another post on Dead Air Space. This time it's just a link to a campaign video (Sticky Question) for the Big Ask.

Sticky Question is the latest video promoting The Big Ask. It has one simple aim - getting people to ask difficult questions about climate change so the Government is persuaded to take action.

Adding to the dishonourable line of sex romp scandals, Sticky Question tells the tale of a naked MP, a leather-clad dominatrix and a cleaning lady with a big question to ask.

Visit www.thebigask.com to ask your MP a sticky question.

Radiohead are now confirmed to headline the Bonnaroo Festival, promoters told Associated Press. As reported earlier, the fifth annual festival will be held from June 16-18 on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee.

Other artists include Tom Petty, Beck, Elvis Costello and the Imposters, Bonnie Raitt, Death Cab for Cutie, Bright Eyes, Damian Marley, Buddy Guy, The Neville Brothers and Blues Traveler.

Organizers will sell only 80,000 tickets, reducing capacity by 10,000 people to make the event more comfortable, the festival's Web site says. Official announcement, ticket information and more information on the festival will be released later today.

Bonnaroo began mainly as a roots-rock festival in 2002 but has gained respect in the music industry for its commitment to diversity in presenting established artists and newcomers of all eras and genres.
