Live at Eurockeennes on Showtime This Month.

The startlingly excellent recording of Radiohead’s Eurockeennes concert is being reaired on Showtime Next all this month. It’s an entire performance off the HTTT tour, and a wonderful 90 minutes to be using your VCR/TiVo/DVR/recording device of choice.
It’ll reair on February 11th, 14th, and 20th at multiple times throughout the day. Highly recommended.
(Thanks to Hines.)

Pitchfork declares Kid A #1 album since 2000.

The fine people at Pitchfork Media (who still can’t sell me on The Strokes, sorry guys) have gone a bit list-happy, and their latest is “The Top 100 Albums of 2000-2004”.
All three of Radiohead’s 90s albums made the cut, with HTTT at 39, Amnesiac at 21, and Kid A at a well-deserved #1.
The day when Radiohead news is about things that Radiohead actually does will be a great day indeed- but not for a bit.
(Thanks to Alex.)

Back from a holiday…

I had some post-election blues that finally caught up with me, and took a bit of a holiday. Next time, I’ll tell you first.
Either way, thanks to both the kind emails and the Xanax, I’m back and ready for Radiohead news action. Please continue to send in your news stories and tips, and we’ll print them post-haste.

We believe you, possibly.

Thom was on the message board recently, and he had this to say:

JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJe just to let you know the site ‘scrapbook’ section is being added to regularly now as well.. contrary to what the news sites are saying….
it randomizes contents and those contents will continue to expand, it is for us to look at as much as you, i hope you understand it is not supposed to be coherent..
its kind of funny the moaning about it i think.
well anyway, please dont flood because im jumping back out of the river now…..
luv thom
p.s. whats will all the anal retentive?

GP belives you, Thom. Or maybe we don’t. All I know is that Jonathan went digging through Radiohead.com about a month ago, and nobody’s heard from him since.
(Thanks to Marcie, whom we truly hope comes out OK.)
