Another Webcast

Radiohead held another webcast last night and at one point over 1000 people were tuning in, making it difficult for many to watch it without the dreaded “net congestion” popping up. The festivities began around 4pm EST and lasted until about 8:30pm. Thom and Jonny played DJ again, spinning some of their favorite tracks from various artists. Only one new Radiohead song was performed live. The title is still a bit sketchy but it contains the words “Wicked Child”, so we’ll just call it that for now.

More Radiohead Dates?

Please take into consideration that this is all unconfirmed by Radiohead and their management.

You can apparently order tickets for two Radiohead shows in Berlin on July 3 and 4, 2000, by going to eventim.de (just type in “Radiohead” at the search engine at the top).Nothing has been announced officially. Be on the lookout for more European dates to pop up over the next few weeks. (thanks to Jan)

In other tour news, an unconfirmed source is claiming that Radiohead will be taking part in the Roskilde Festival, June 29 – July 2, 2000, in Denmark. We are still waiting confirmation so don’t go all crazy yet!

Radiohead Mentioned in Chats
Radiohead was mentioned in two chats earlier this week with David Gilmour and Roger Waters, both used to be in Pink Floyd. Here’s the excerpts:

MSNLive: People have compared Pink Floyd to Radiohead and Bush and Manson and others – are there any bands that you think carry on your tradition?
David Gilmour: I think some of those bands are creating their own tradition. I think Radiohead are great but I don’t think they need us, for their own path.
MSN Live
“Roy Harper” whispers to MSNLive: How do you feel about the comparisons Radiohead draw with Pink Floyd? also: “MR Jones” whispers to MSNLive: Radiohead has been compared frequently to Pink Floyd. What do you think of their music?
Mr. Roger Waters: I don’t know Radiohead’s work because I don’t listen that much to other people but people tell me they are a great band.

To Get Your Taste Buds Going…

Radiohead’s own Jonny “DJ Respect” Greenwood is rumored to be helping out with Brian Eno on Bryan Ferry’s new album. There is no date yet for release. Here is what the French culture magazine Les Inrockuptibles said about it:

“Bryan Ferry and Brian Eno are in the same boat. A fews months after the release of his wonderful ‘As Time Goes By’, Bryan Ferry is getting back to work on a new album. Brian Eno, another one from Roxy Music, will be there, and also Jonny Greenwood, guitarist from Radiohead, who’ll fulfill a child dream : play with the legendary duo from Roxy Music, one of his favourite band.”
