Full Radiohead performance at Glastonbury 1997

Spotted on our message board, Mortigi Tempo: Full Radiohead performance at Glastonbury 1997. It was filmed from the crowd, so not the best visual quality but the audio is top notch, especially considering this is from a VHS to DVD transfer. Enjoy!

Radiohead on David Bowie tribute album [UPDATED]

Ground Control to Major Thom
Ground Control to Major Thom

A new David Bowie tribute album is scheduled to be released in February 2010 and Radiohead are rumored to be among the artists contributing. This comes from the website of Mick Karn, another artist who is contributing to the album. He writes:

“The release of the David Bowie tribute album on Warchild has been postponed until February 2010 due to some of the artists schedules not permitting an earlier release.

Featured artists will include Radiohead, Carla Bruni and Charlotte Gainsbourg and will include Mick’s version of Ashes to Ashes.”

This new War Child release is a followup to this year’s War Child: Heroes.

Once we have official confirmation on this from the band, we’ll pass it along. (via TwentyFourBit)

UPDATE: Pitchfork is saying the rumor is not true. Bummer…

Radiohead manager launches new record label | News | NME.COM.

Click the link above to read an article about Radiohead co-manager, Brian Message, and his new record label called Polyphonic.

Phil, on DAS, pointed out that this does not mean that Radiohead themselves are setting up a new label, as misprinted by the Sunday Telegraph over the weekend:

“Contrary to a Sunday Telegraph headline this weekend, we are not setting up a record label. The credit for this venture goes to one of our managers, Brian Message and his company ATC.”

This may be the first time Thom and his younger brother, Andy, have appeared on the same album. Both are contributing songs to Ciao My Shining Star: The Songs of Mark Mulcahy to help the former Miracle Legion front man continue making music while he raises his three-year old twin daughters.

If you weren’t aware, Andy Yorke has had his own band called Unbelievable Truth. They’ve been broken up for a while but appear to be back together, we think.
