New York, NY
Thom performed an acoustic set last night at the Bridge School Benefit in Mountain View, California. Here is the setlist:
Everything in it’s Right Place
Sail to the Moon
I Might Be Wrong
There, There
Pyramid Song
Spinning Plates
Lucky
After the Gold Rush (Neil Young cover)
It was rumored that Colin may join Thom on stage cause he’s been spotted with Thom wandering around San Francisco, but that didn’t happen.

You know Radiohead have made it now! Radiohead appeared last Friday in the New York Times crossword:

Check out the Pump Kid A site where you can submit your own pictures of the Kid A bear logo carved into pumpkins! Just in time for Halloween!
You can watch an interview with Ed at this site. Ed talks about winning “Best Act in the World” and the new album.

Despite leading the field of hopefuls with three Q Award nominations, Oasis failed to collect a single gong, losing the much-coveted Best Act in the World Today award to Radiohead. The Oxford rockers were presented the award by cult comedians The League of Gentlemen at a star-studded ceremony attended by the likes of Moby, So Solid Crew and Ms Dynamite. It is the second time that Radiohead have won the award in two years, having originally collected it in 2001 off the back of their critically acclaimed album, “Amnesiac.” “A lot of the time when we’ve made records, we think we’ve done the most stupid thing we could have possibly done,” said a very quiet Thom Yorke. “So things like this mean a lot to us otherwise we wouldn’t have the confidence to do it because that’s what we’re like.”

As we reported earlier, Thom is included in a documentary about Bjork called “Inside Bjork”. www.bjork.com has a preview of the documentary which shows Thom saying, “She was born with a voice that is very sexual but at the same time very child-like, and very vicious and powerful, but there’s no sense that she’d do damage.”
