A company called Way Ahead is offering standing (GA) tickets to the Aberdeen show for ?31.00, ?2 above face value.
Check it out here.

According to w.a.s.t.e., tickets will be available at the venue and on the door for every show except for London.

In brief-
-There’s a good article in the Manchester Times, featuring Colin and Chris from Shynola (creators of the Kid A blips).
-The Malaysian Star has a review of Bodysong.
–Audio Revolution.com awarded Radiohead Honorable Mention in their 10 Rock-Pop Acts Making Great Music Today list. Number one was the Foo Fighters (!).
-Kid A is referenced as the first major album to be leaked to the internet in a MTV.com story.
-Radiohead’s music is featured in The Athena Theatre Company’s production of The River, although according to this review in The Crimson, it doesn’t help matters.
-Spin Magazine named HTTT the #10 album of 2003. The White Stripes snagged #1.

We continue to get reports that Radiohead is playing this year’s Coachella festival in Indio, California. The latest report states that this month’s issue of Urb magazine confirms this, as well as an appearance by the reunited Pixies (named as a big Radiohead influence). While we’re still searching for the magazine to try and confirm this, we can tell you that Radiohead is on the cover, and that you can read part of the cover story online in the “guts” section.
Please note that this is all still one big fat unconfirmed rumor (even if it is a cool one), and should be treated thusly. Stay tuned, we’ll keep you posted as always.
UPDATE: Looks like NME’s getting in on the act (though for all we know, they got the rumor from us!).
UPDATE AGAIN: Page 74 of URB states that Thom is “happy to be on the [Coachella] bill, but is visibly affected when informed of the Pixies reunion plans to play before them.” Thom then goes on to say, “No! That’s just not right! The Pixies opening for us is like the Beatles opening for us. I won’t allow it. There’s no way we can follow the Pixies!”
Still, nothing has been officially announced so stay tuned…

According to an AP article, he would have, if producer Rick Rubin had gotten his way. An excerpt-

Rubin would send Cash CD after CD of song suggestions before each of the recording sessions, and they tried a lot. (Not every idea: Rubin, unsuccessfully, kept trying to get Cash to make a version of Radiohead’s “Creep.”)

That certainly would have been interesting. You can read the entire article here.

As mentioned before, this Wednesday’s show at Earls Court will be taped for future broadcast on Westwood One stations (in addition to being broadcast live on London’s XFM). The first confirmed playback of the show is on Chicago’s WXRT 93.1 FM, this Thursday (the 27th) from 8 to 10pm.
If you hear of any other stations planning a broadcast (and there should be quite a few more), please drop us a line so we can share it with the masses.
