You can listen to the Flaming Lips perform a cover of Radiohead’s “Knives Out” at www.soundseclectic.com. Just click on “Flaming Lips” under the “recent programs” section. You have to download the whole hour long program, but you can forward it to the end, when the Lips play.

Here’s an article from CDNow about Radiohead showing up at the recent Beck show in Los Angeles:
Last week, New York may have had the VMAs, but L.A. had Beck, whose sold-out show on Friday (Aug. 30) at the intimate Wadsworth Theater gave those pesky folks at MTV a run for their star-power wattage.
Celebs literally took over the whole venue — spotted towards the front was a veritable convention of Hollywood’s young it-listers, including Giovanni Ribisi, Jason Lee, and Rachel Weisz. Hanging out on the sides were Ben Stiller and Tom Hanks’ wife, Rita Wilson (not together, silly!), while uberproducer Jon Brion and his celeb plus-two (that would be Fiona Apple and beau Paul Thomas Anderson) held court right in the middle of the theater.
By far the coolest star sighting, though, were all five members of Radiohead, fresh from a European tour, giving Beck a standing ovation for his subdued encore run-through of Velvet Underground’s “Sunday Morning.” Instead of leaving right after the song, Thom Yorke and Co. just stood there looking stunned before being whisked by security into the backstage area.

Jonny Greenwood made an appearance at the official Radiohead message board yesterday and described the band’s first day in their Los Angeles studio.
“Coz is playing bass right now, and singing along like a loony….pretty intense stuff in here! It’s day one, and going fine.” He also stated that the recording sessions will take a couple of weeks.
The night before, the band went to the Beck concert which Jonny described as “charming” and “ace”.
Massive Attack’s 3D posted on the band’s official website’s message board that they were planning to book ads in the NME to protest the recent threats from the US to attack Iraq. Radiohead may contribute, as 3D stated:
HELLO-WE HAVE BOOKED THE ADS IN THE NME-AND YES THEY CHARGED US ALOT-DAMON HAS MADE AN AMAZING FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION TO THE CAUSE-RADIOHEAD HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH CND FROM THE US-THEY MAY ALSO CONTRIBUTE.THERE WILL BE 2 DOUBLE PAGE SPREADS IN THE TWO EDITIONS OF THE NME-PROCEEDING THE MARCH IN LONDON-AND THE PETITION HANDOVERS.
The Vapour Brothers have a new website up with a lot of Radiohead goodness, including clips of the “amateur night” webcasts Radiohead did while recording Kid A. The Vapour Brothers directed the “I Might Be Wrong” video and helped out with the promotional blips.
