We've reported on the release of the Glastonbury film on dvd yesterday. Turns out the film can be soon on BBC tonight. BBC: "The television premiere of Julien Temple's acclaimed film celebrating and documenting the history of the Glastonbury Festival. Featuring footage captured from 35 years of the festival and performances from David Bowie, Radiohead, Morrissey, Coldplay amongst many others; the film brilliantly captures the essence of this unique three day rollercoaster ride of music, madness and mud! It's the next best thing to being there! Contains very strong language." Sat 15 Jul, 22:30 - 00:45 135 mins [thanks Nick]
Following the successful cinema and movie festival tour of Julien Temple's Glastonbury film, dates have now been confirmed for the release of the DVD.
The two disk box set includes special features, previously unseen material and ten classic performances from the Festival stages, including Radiohead, REM, The Killers, Nick Cave and Paul McCartney.

Still in the first week of the release of Thom Yorke's The Eraser. And there are still tons of reviews to share from our beloved members of the press. Here goes...
The Age: To further illustrate Yorke's glass-empty view of human progress, nearly every sonic element here is beautifully cracked and chipped and distorted, as if the studio itself is in meltdown. He barely picks up a guitar but his pretty piano parts are like stray gasps of humanity defying the distressed machine rhythms. It's mainly his authority as a singer that elevates whinge to wake-up.
Stuff: The ratio of hope and futility is not encouraging but there's a crucial kernel of comfort in hearing this lone, deceptively powerful voice address the imbalance: "We think the same things at the same time, we just can't do anything about it." Except make records like this, perhaps.
Junk Media: In the end, it all comes down to the voice. Forget the snapping trickery of electronica, the processed guitars, those shimmering curtains of sound, the music-box laptop aesthetic: The Eraser is the sound of Thom Yorke's voice at its most intimate, its most tender, and simply put, its most beautiful.
Washington Post: If misery really does love company, then Thom Yorke never got the memo. Either that or he simply couldn't read it through the cloud of anxiety that seems to have enveloped him during the making of his melancholy new album, "The Eraser."
AV Club: The Eraser does have marked differences: Without his bandmates in tow to encourage the occasional traditional chorus, those are more or less out the window, as are most of the chunky guitars. Yorke fills the void with atmospheres and claustrophobic computer clicks, and while he doesn't shy away from catchiness, he doesn't actively seek it, either.
Thom Yorke will be interviewed on the National Public Radio (NPR) program Fresh Air with Terry Gross. It airs at different times across the US but is generally heard at either 12pm Eastern or 4pm Eastern. Audio will be available on the site at 3 pm ET. [Thanks LW, OS, CP, JBK]
Today, Thom Yorke's The Eraser is out in North America. So I think every corner of the world is covered now. And then there's always iTunes. Reviews from every corner of the world too. So here are loads of other reviews:
TinyMixTapes: Most of The Eraser features suffocated, amateurish beats that are cut-up, looped, and processed, but ultimately structured as Songs through lyrical phrasing. It's this structure that both repels and compels me.
Stylus: But The Eraser is a triumph, and I'm left wondering why I expected otherwise. Maybe it was intended to temper expectations for Radiohead's new era under Spike Stent, but as is, it will always be a stunning final word for one of our generation's most reliably innovative partnerships.
Slant: If anything, The Eraser more than proves that Yorke, no matter how intriguing or forward-thinking his ideas, needs the democracy of Radiohead to ground his more angular artistic impulses, rendering the fantastic palatable.
BBC: The Eraser’s sound lies somewhere between the roiling beat soup of Amnesiac and a poppier sensibility, most evident in the title track’s stuttering Chicago house pianos and the outstanding warm bass ballad, Atoms For Peace. Lyrically, Yorke proves once again that if nurtured correctly, teenage angst can flourish into full-blown paranoia. Feeling bad rarely sounded so good.
All Music Guide: Producer Nigel Godrich, whose relationship with Radiohead exceeds a decade, played a major role, contributing arrangements, "extra instruments," and enough influence to guide the album into its tight song-oriented structure. Without him, the well-executed album would've likely sounded a lot closer to the kind of stray-idea patchwork experiment that so many other long-boiling side projects resemble.
Billboard: Anyone who found the alien sonic landscapes of "Kid A" a bit overwhelming will feel much more at home with these nine less fussy but primarily electronica-dominated compositions, nurtured by longtime Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich.
USA Today: Thom Yorke’s The Eraser "sounds very much like a Radiohead album, only less so," says Edna Gundersen, who finds the front man’s solo debut "somehow comforting and unsettling at the same time."
If you're in Seattle you might as well drop by at the The Bad JuJu Lounge. XL Recordings was cool enough to give Full Circle Collective a goody bag with prizes, give-a-ways and a sneak preview copy of The Eraser.

Well, here we are. July 10th - the official date of the release of Thom Yorke's The Eraser. We can now add most of the European countries to the list. North America is next tomorrow. Here's another batch of reviews for you to read.
NME: Like 'Kid A', 'The Eraser' will split Radiohead fans. Some will mourn its lack of viscera; its coldness; its reluctance to rock. But it's yet another revealing glimpse into Yorke's cryptic inner-world, and one that has the courage not to hide its political message in code. 'Kid B'? Yeah, OK - but Radiohead will never make another album like it, and as a twin, it's every bit the equal.
The Observer: Curiously for a singer, it's the music rather than the singing that stands out on The Eraser. Yorke has a fluent and unexpectedly convincing way with a laptop, coaxing faux-analogue sonar bloops, crackles and snaps out of digital gear. There are things that sound like pianos, drumsticks clacking; a nice bit of folktronica on 'Black Swan'. Often you could do without the topnote of his vocals, which weigh this progressive project down to the whooshy miasmic angst of Radiohead like a ball and chain. 'Skip Divided' is the low point, with its atonal mithering; 'The Clock', 'And It Rained All Night' and 'Atoms for Peace' are the high points, where sounds and singing pull in the same direction. A qualified success.
Megastar: The subject matter may be grim, the sound cold and clinical, but The Eraser is life affirming and warm. Nurtured as Yorke's project, it's melodic, intense, intimate and very listenable. Like the soundtrack to a Bauhaus-influenced sci-fi film, and with Radiohead's time at label EMI over, welcome to the future of your favourite band.
Treble: I would venture to guess even Richard D. James is proud that his Warp Records cohorts can inspire one of our generation's greatest singer/songwriters to create a soundtrack to the modern age with soulful melodies, and memories that will resonate with the listener long after the song fades.
Pitchfork: The word 'gray' will be used to describe The Eraser, and with good reason-- unless you're predisposed to loving everything Yorke sets his voice against, you mind fight this an oppressively dreary affair. My totally catty suggestion: Don't bother with this unless you've already worn out the grooves on Jonny Greenwood's much less-heralded but completely brilliant Bodysong soundtrack. Or maybe, if you're really jonseing, set up two stereos and play both solo records at once, Zaireeka-style. I wouldn't be surprised at all if that worked.
Newsday: Between "The Eraser" and some of the new Radiohead songs the band revealed on its recent tour, it seems like Yorke is interested in revitalizing dance music these days, the way "The Bends" invigorated rock.
Mansized: The Eraser is a return to the haunting electro soundscapes found on Radiohead's Kid A and Amnesiac albums - music that crossed frontiers, kicked down doors of perception and challenged other musicians to think differently. However, what was fresh and groundbreaking back then isn’t necessarily so today.
TIME Magazine: The Eraser isn't--but by distilling Radiohead into something intimate, it may point the way toward greatness to come.
Sun Times: I went in knowing this would mainly be an electronic disc, augmented primarily by the artist's stately piano -- and perhaps the spare, moody soundscapes finally enabled me to hear the charms of his vocals. Either that or he just wore me down. In any case, this is the disc where I learned to stop worrying and love the twisted little gnome.
Entertainment Weekly: Think Radiohead are too damn cheery? Try frontman Thom Yorke's solo album excerpt: The arrangements are equally forbidding, laptop soundscapes with snippets of more traditional instrumentation (guitars, piano), and the overall mood is austere and claustrophobic, even when compared with Radiohead at their most austere and claustrophobic (Kid A, for starters). Whereas Radiohead pop tension with moments of grandeur, The Eraser cultivates uneasiness with snaky melodies that never mate it to roof-raising chorus....It demonstrates that Yorke needs Radiohead as much as it needs him to transform anxiety into rock arias of enduring beauty and power.
Thom Yorke's live acoustic performance of The Clock on the Henry Rollins show is already available. Have a look here or download the mp3. The show with Thom Yorke with The Clock and another song (with special guest appearances of Jonny Greenwood & Nigel Godrich), will premiere Saturday July 15 at 10 PM ET in the USA.
A US Target ad mentions that they are selling the new Thom Yorke album with an 'exclusive' download. This is only in the print ad that comes out in the papers. No other details are available right now. We'll keep you posted. [thanks Lennie, Ben & Dave]
Update: The Target download is the interview clip of Thom. So not an exclusive song or anything of that nature. Just Thom talking to Craig Mclean.
XL Recordings has some good stuff coming concerning the release of Thom Yorke's The Eraser. Here's the latest.
We reported earlier that Thom was going to do the Henry Rollins show. An interview and performance for show has been recorded, which airs on the IFC (Independent Film Channel). He also did two songs for KCRW which will be broadcast on their "Morning Becomes Eclectic" program on July 11th. Special guest appearances may be contained therein, but can't say quite yet.
Then The Eraser; The following stores will do midnight sales on July 11th:
There's a midnight sale at the Virgin Megastore on Union Square in NY, where you might even win yourself a t-shirt or if your even luckier a signed promo CD.
Next Thursday, Galapagos in Brooklyn will be having a party for both The Eraser and Impeach My Bush... its free, theres a DJ, and giveaways all evening. For directions and stuff: click here
Josh Wink remixed Radiohead's 'Everything In Its Right Place' for a new Ministry Of Sound compilation.
The track is included Josh Wink's first UK mix album 'Sessions mixed by Josh Wink'. You can listen to the Everything In Its Right Place remix on the Ministry of Sound website [you'll have to be registered to listen].
For all the french speaking people... Thom Yorke did an interview with Quebec's newspaper Voir. The story is available online at voir.ca. Another french interview can be found in Les Inrocks, Cover is available here. [thanks Jeanfrancois]
Below is a translation of the interview [thanks James]
As reported earlier, Radiohead and Thom Yorke's music is featured in the new 'A Scanner Darkly' movie. Kid Julian attended the advance screening in New York.
Director, Richard Linklater and actors Keanu Reeves and Robert Downey Jr., were present for a Q&A session following the advance screening. The animated adaptation of Philip K. Dick's work contains three songs by the band and one by Thom Yorke. Featured Radiohead songs include "Amazing Sounds of Orgy" and "Fog" and "Skttrbrain" (Four Tet RMX). "Black Swan" from The Eraser rolls during the closing credits. During the Q&A session, a member of the audience asked about the choice of Radiohead music. Following the post-production process, Richard Linklater, a huge fan of Radiohead, and his music supervisor, Nick Ratner, approached Radiohead. Perhaps as fans of Philip K. Dick's book or as fans of Linklater, Radiohead responded to Linklater and the film was screened for the band. Following the screening, the band gave what Linklater describes as "some obscure songs." Linklater joked Thom gave him the "Black Swan" because Thom feared it would not receive any airplay.
As Linklater was explaining the process of obtaining the music, Keanu Reeves suddenly burst into song and attempted a horrible rendition of Thom Yorke singing. The audience responded with laughter.
Afterwards, I could not help but approach the director and ask which Radiohead album he considered his favourite. Linklater responded "Kid A, maybe OK Computer. It's very hard, I love them all!"
More reviews of Thom Yorke's The Eraser are coming in. Out today in Japan and mostly available in The Netherlands. Here are today's batch of reviews:
The Guardian: The Eraser is no more experimental than the average Radiohead album. In fact, it sounds exactly like you would expect a Thom Yorke solo album to sound: twitchy electronic beats, doomy washes of synthesizer, backing vocals that are invariably high, wordless and ghostly, except on Skip Divided, where they literally involve whimpering. The lyrics are one long defeated sigh, interrupted by the occasional tut and roll of the eyes. We are variously informed that there's no light in the dark, time's running out for us, things are fucked up, it gets you down and people get crushed like biscuit crumbs. Even the guitar on The Clock sounds like it's grumbling. At its worst, The Eraser brings to mind the unlikely image of Autechre fronted by Private Frazer off Dad's Army: thump, bleep, splonk, we're all doomed, I tell you. (3/5)
LiveDaily: In all, "The Eraser" underscores two things. The first is just how important the other Radiohead guys are to the band's sound. The second is that Yorke can make it with or without them.
Scotsman.com: The album then pulses out on the anticlimactic Cymbals Rush, which is little more than computer bleeps - not just any computer bleeps, mind, but old school Amstrad computer bleeps, or the kind of supercomputer featured in 1970s conspiracy movies. Strangely, this is the track which has cropped in the Radiohead live set. Ultimately, The Eraser is little more than a collectable curiosity to tide us over until the main missive next year. But let's hope Thom had some fun for once. (2/5)
Spacelab: For a while, I figured the fame and pressure got him, and that he wandered off into an experimental world and would never return to the stunning music we all know he can create. But The Eraser proves he hasn't forgotten. Thom Yorke never lost his way, he just took the road less traveled. (4.7/5)
In This Week: I can't say whether the album is 'good' or not because of the relativity of the question. Good compared to what? That's the uselessness of a star rating system and the usefulness of words. I can say, though, that I like the album, with the caveat that it's harder to get into than a pair of cement jeans. (3.5/5)
Toronto Eye Weekly: Yorke busts a move to the time-bomb-tick of urban paranoia: "I give into the rhythm, click-click-clack / I'm too wasted to fight back." Request it the next time you're out at the idioteque, dancing with yourself.
LA Daily News: There are hardly any songs here - just blips and bleeps, gurgles, strangled falsetto vocalizing and static noise, seemingly designed to burn off any lingering dilettantes from the Radiohead fan club. It's the sound of a GameBoy in a deep fryer.
CD Times: It's good to hear Yorke challenging himself by writing something more direct. There's also a sense that he's become comfortable with this cross over sound of guitars and electronica - the blend has become richer and more even. It may not be the most important electronica album ever released, but there's something impressive about an artist who can try something else, write something different, and do it with such aplomb.
Belfast Telegraph: As in most things Radiohead, you have to work to appreciate the class. It's certainly not as accessible as Ok Computer - but not quite as off the wall as Kid A. If you're patient - at least by the third listen - you'll 'get it'. Best is the stripped bare acoustic ballad Atoms For Peace, and Harrowdown Hill, the place where Government scientist David Kelly committed suicide. The Eraser is another giant creative leap.
And for those in Malaysia: Hosted by EMI, Zouk and Twilight Actiongirl, a preview party of The Eraser as well as Radiohead classics making the rounds on the decks through the night. Yorke's The Eraser preview starts at 11pm, and as promised, EMI is sorting out Radiohead goodies and CDs for lucky patrons.
Xl Recordings have Thom Yorke's Harrowdown Hill scheduled for release on August 21st.
A 12" vinyl will include Harrowdown Hill in an extended mix and will also feature two tracks which are not available on the forthcoming album The Eraser: 'The Drunkk Machine' & 'Jetstream'. A 7" vinyl and a CD single is also scheduled for release. [thanks Tom & Emiel]
Thom Yorke's The Eraser is out on Monday. Here are some reviews of the album.
PopMatters has a lengthy article/review on The Eraser by Joseph Tate. No need to quote Joseph, always a good read.
PowPowPow: "An album, then, worth your attention, and not because of the Radiohead 'thing', but because it's a roaring [or should I say, whispering] bubble bath of delight; the invigorated vocals, the stark lyrics, the thriving melodies, the electronica-flavoured shimmers. It's all good. Very good."
Socialist Worker: "Yorke's anger and sometimes despair is always tempered with defiance. The Eraser's title track reminds our rulers that their lies won't work and will come back to haunt them. Our movement needs more musicians prepared to stick their necks out and take risks like this."
Entertainmentwise.com: "Despite initial fears, 'The Eraser' doesn't sound like an aimless collection of Radiohead B-Sides. Thom Yorke has sculpted an album with an agenda and substance, and more importantly has offered tantalising glimpses of his genius." (4/5)
MusicOMH: "This record completes a picture of a sometime prog rock god who's just as happy - and competent - in the role of an electronica wizard". (4/5)
Sydney Morning Herald: "Yorke and regular Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich have made an often sumptuous sounding record (listen to this with headphones if you can); the longer it goes also pricks and provokes with angularities"
ic Scotland: "The Eraser is an album full of 'moments' some of them are familiar, some of them are brand new and exciting but they are all undeniably Thom Yorke and that is what he will be remembered for; constantly striving to go slightly left of the middle."
BlogCritics: "The songs are cohesive, seemingly working for the same goal from beginning to end. And The Eraser is more than just a supplement to your Radiohead catalogue. I can guarantee that it will become an integral part of your collection. And in the end, Thom Yorke proves just how indie he is with The Eraser, because he is reminding us once again that he didn't follow us. We followed him."
Sunday Times: "In the case of Radiohead though, The Eraser might just constitute a lifeline. If this outlet aids their rediscovery of a common purpose, Yorke's bandmates may be only too happy to give him custody of the Kids."
SPIN writes that Panic! at the Disco is covering classic alternative rock songs on their current tour. Radiohead's Karma Police is one of them. SPIN magazine took the opportunity to post an open letter to the Panic! fans... But anyway, here's that cover.
Yes, server issues. Email and ftp has been down for a while now. Since the past attempts trying to fix this were pretty useless, I'll just pass on my other email address here, so you can continue spamming me. Thank you. Send it here. Sorry about those who tried to email and the past few days.
MOJO magazine (UK) has Thom Yorke on the cover of their latest issue. The magazine features ten (10!) pages on Thom Yorke, with an interview, a review of The Eraser (Mojo rated the album for out of 5) and new photos of Thom + the band playing in Amsterdam.
Q: What happens when "a bunch of stupidly self critical pathologically over-acheivers" form a rock band?
A: They become radiohead.
[thanks Suzie]
The Eraser promotion continues. Emails were sent out last night, with 'Have you seen this man?' in the subject line. When you click you'll end up at xlrecordings.com/haveyouseenthisman/, where photos are posted of people listening to The Eraser. Have we told you it's out next week? We have? Oh, well... er.. anyway. Look out for that man in London this week and have a listen. Don't forget to upload your photos up there.
Thom Yorke is on the cover of two Japanese magazines this month. The first is the major music mag Rockin' On. The cover and inside portraits are all HTTT-era, but the new issue has a new interview with Thom (in Japanese) and several pages on Radiohead's European tour. In addition, there are some full-spread photos from the European tour and a 2-page review of "The Eraser".
The other magazine is Aera English. There are new photos of Thom by Yuri Manabe and a one-page interview by Hanako Tabata written in English and Japanese about "The Eraser." At the end Thom jokes, "I always wanted to ask this, but why do all Japanese interviews ask for messages for fans? You always do this, don't you? Well, I don't know too much about what's going on politically in Japan, so that's no use, so I would simply like to say that I'm looking forward to going to Japan soon."
Thom Yorke is also on the cover of the latest issue of the French edition of Rolling Stone magazine. The article inside features several pages on Radiohead's recent European tour. As well as some quotes from your friendly webmaster. Nice, huh? [thanks Alex]
New York Times have an interview online with Thom Yorke. Thom talks about the current Radiohead situation and of course The Eraser. The story is available for subscribers only. Here are some bits and pieces.
"We lost all momentum and it's very, very difficult to get momentum back," Mr. Yorke says. "When I say momentum, I don't just mean the physically working everyday, I mean just hanging out and playing each other music and swapping ideas and stuff. It's something that you take for granted until it's gone. And then you're like: 'What's wrong? There's something wrong here.'"
If you're subscribed to all the cool podcasts in on the web, you've already noticed that the full Sound Opnions interview with Thom Yorke & Jonny Greenwood is online now.
If not, click here. And XL Recordings added another interview video to their Eraser vodcast.
For those who can't wait till the release of The Eraser (only a week now), check VPRO's 3voor12. They have the full album online.
Plan B was forced to rewrite his track 'Missing Links' in two days after Radiohead refused to permit him to use one of their songs, reports Gigwise.
The rapper - aka Ben Drew - heavily featured the band's 'Pyramid Song' on his tune, but had to quickly go back to the drawing board after they refused to let it be used on his new album 'Who Needs Actions When You Got Words'.
Drew still insists he should have been given permission to use the track because he 'innovated' the song - but he says doesn't hold a grudge against Radiohead.
He says, "Of course I was upset. But it's not like we tried to rip them off! We innovated Pyramid Song. Not imitated it. But hey, so be it.
"They don't owe me anything and I still think they're a great band."
