Adrian writes in to tell us that in the new Ultimate X-Men (#49, September issue), Rouge is wearing a green Radiohead terror bear shirt throughout.
(Thanks to Adrian.)

Chad writes in with this report-
I saw “The Section Quartet” at the Largo in Los Angeles last night. They
played Radiohead’s OK Computer in its entirety. Jack Black walks in through the door and walks right up on stage and does spoken word for ‘Fitter
Happier.’ Jack Black was hilarious and the Section Quartet was amazing.
(Thanks to Chad.)

From NME-
The legendary ‘HELP’ album is set for a new digital lease of life.
Recorded and released in one week in September 1995, ‘Help’ was put together by the War Child charity to raise money for the victims of the war in the former Yugoslavia.
It featured exclusive material from artists like Radiohead, Manic Street Preachers, Orbital and Oasis, and became the fastest-ever Number One hit in UK music history.
Now, the album is to be reissued digitally to mark the launch of new charity download service warchildmusic.com.
All 20 tracks plus artwork will be available for ?3.50, with individual tracks for just 99p, when the site launches on Monday (August 9). Brand new music will be available in the coming months, and all profits will go to helping children in the world’s most troubled regions.
Site director James Topham said: Every track – and we’re after everything from covers to acoustic versions, live recordings, alternative mixes, remixes or simply unreleased tunes – will be exclusive to Warchild Music. This is an ongoing project which we’re sure will quickly become essential for artists and fans alike. Although the profits are going to charity, the site is all about music.

Radiohead are featured in the “1010 Songs You Must Own” list in the September issue of Q magazine. ‘Paranoid Android’, ‘Morning Bell/Amnesic’, ‘No Surprises’, ‘Scatterbrain’, ‘Pyramid Song’ and Thom Yorke’s duet with PJ Harvery ‘This Mess We’re In’ are all mentioned.
(Thanks to At Ease.)
UPDATE- Jonny (not that one) writes in to let us know that “Fake Plastic Trees” is on the list too (check the ballads section). We’ll take his word, as have no way of confirming since Q costs about $10,000 over here in the States.
(Thanks to Jonny.)

As previously reported, John from over at The Hub has gotten his hands on a promo VHS containing four episodes of The Most Gigantic Lying Mouth of All Time, or Radiohead TV. He’s been kind enough to send us some screenshots from the as-yet-unreleased fourth episode. He’s in the process of getting some full-quality super-duper digital captures, but in the meantime he’s given us some “down-and-dirty” pictures of his television set.

(Thanks very much to John.)
