The Glastonbury DVD Glastonbury Anthems- The Best of 1994 to 2004 has been unveiled, and Radiohead’s 1997 performance of Karma Police made the cut. The tracklisting is as follows-

The Levellers ‘One Way Of Life’ (1994)
Elastica ‘Connection’ (1995)
Prodigy ‘Breathe’ (1997)

The DVD, scheduled for release on March 21, also includes a short film and interviews with the Eavises. The tracklisting was chosen by fans via an online poll, with over 30,000 visitors casting votes.

X Factor non-winners G4 have gone ahead and scored a £1.5million deal with Sony anyway, proving that second place isn’t always that bad. Their first album will be a compilation of covers, and they will be recording a version of ‘Creep’.

I’ve will admit that I’ve never heard them, but given their game show background and looking at this picture I am not optimistic.

Radiohead.com has received a small tweaking of the front page, and Stanley Donwood’s excellent Slowly Downward site is promising big things for us as well-

VERY SOON this will be a new website, with new stuff and probably most of this old stuff too. and there will be a proper shop too, called slowlydownward manufactory. because im making screenprints now as well as the things linked to below. there are a few prints available from w.a.s.t.e.

In addition, Stanley’s book Slowly Downward, which I highly recommend, is being put to print again, with a snappy new cover. You can order it through w.a.s.t.e..

Today we wrapped up the Politick Tsunami Fundraiser, and the grand total is over three times our original goal of $20,000. A small group of political junkies, and a large group of Radiohead fans, donated $64,382 to help the victims of the South Asian tsunami.
They don’t speak for us indeed. Nice one, gang.
Special thanks are due to the Mortigi Tempo community and Adriaan from At Ease for posting some updates for us.

Parlophone is set to reissue Radiohead’s classic single/EP for My Iron Lung on January 31. It’ll set you back &pound 9.99, $18.39, or &euro 13.99, and is available from Eil.com. Although the rerelease isn’t until the 31st, Eil.com still has copies from the last release that are selling at the same price and available now.

That’s not a typo.
As expected, the news coverage is slowing down, the media’s moving on to other things, and therefore the donations are slowing down as well. It’s to be expected, but do keep in mind that the need for aid hasn’t subsided as quickly as the news coverage has. As before, should you donate, shoot an email with how much you donated in the subject to donations@politick.info.
And pat yourselves on the back…forty eight thousand dollars is not a small chunk of change. That makes a legitimate difference in the lives of thousands of people. Pretty impressive what people can do when they get together on the internet, isn’t it? Isn’t it?
