“Scott Tenorman Must Die.”

Radiohead will be making an appearance on the Comedy Central animated show South Park on July 11, 2001. Here’s the details from Comedy Central:

Wednesday, July 11 at 10:00 p.m., world-renowned RADIOHEAD will make a special guest appearance on “South Park.” The band will play a vital role in Cartman’s plot for revenge against an offensive eighth grader in the show entitled, “Scott Tenorman Must Die.”

In “Scott Tenorman Must Die,” Cartman gets pubic hair. But Cartman doesn’t get just any pubes; he buys some from one of the older kids at South Park Elementary, Scott Tenorman. Cartman wants to show the other boys that he can be the first kid in the fourth grade with this mark of manliness, until everyone tells him that pubes don’t count unless he grows his own. Cartman seeks wicked revenge on Scott Tenorman when he won’t give him his money back.

Should be very interesting…

In more surprising news, Radiohead will be letting the International Olympic Committee use “I Might Be Wrong” for some TV spots during the Salt Lake City 2002 Winter Olympic Games in February. Here’s a snippet from an article at MTV.com:

“It’s not a money thing,” guitarist Ed O’Brien explained. “We don’t do adverts for socks or aftershave. The Olympic committee is a charitable organization. That’s why we’re doing it. If it’s sponsored by MasterCard, we’re not interested. But it’s advertising the spirit of the games.”

Tonight

Tonight the band will be playing the Gorge in George, WA.

A concert set for Aug. 1 in Grant Park by the white-hot rock group Radiohead will mark an unprecedented experiment in outdoor admission-only concerts on Chicago’s “front lawn.” Producers will construct a temporary fenced venue for the show, which could attract fans who were unable to get a ticket.

The concert by the British quintet sold 16,000 tickets in four minutes last Saturday (as fast as the system can sell tickets), evidence of a great demand among fans to see the group, whose computer-heavy art rock sound is credited with transforming contemporary music. Whether the show will mark a successful new way of producing such events?raditionally held in amphitheaters or sports stadiums?s open to question, depending on how traffic, security and crowd control outside the concert is handled.

MTV 2 (USA) will be airing a Radiohead special on July 4. During this special will be an “amazing” interview that all five members of the band did with Gideon Yago while at the Red Rocks concert. There will also be some live footage as well. {thanks to Ultragrrrl, Diskeater, & Torie}

VH1 has a new Radiohead Player for you to download.

The 1998 Amnesty International Concert that Radiohead took part in will air on TNT Latin America on Thursday, June 28th at 17:45 (GMT -5), 19:45 (in Argentina). Make sure to check your local listings. {thanks to italo rossi}

Check out this Amnesiac review.

A DJ called Dave Clarke has released an album caled “World Service”. It’s a double CD with an Electro and Techno mix. Featured on the Electro set is Radiohead’s “Idioteque” in full as appeared on Kid A without any re-mixing. Apparently Dave said the track was perfect as it was and required no-remixing to suit the electro genre. {thanks to Duncan}

Check out this page! It has got some really interesting stuff about Amnesiac and “Pyramid Song”.

www.meetingpeopleiseasy.de has gotten hold of some new promo pics. Yay!

Q Magazine has got a 20-page feature on Radiohead, their history, and what it was like to record OKC, Kid A, and Amnesiac. {thanks to Dave}

This weeks ‘Ticket magazine’ with the Irish Times, features an interview with founder of the Velvet Undergrond, John Cale. When asked about experimentation in music today he spoke of Radiohead’s new work saying:

“I had a good laugh when I heard Kid A & Amnesiac – for the right reasons. It’s great what they’ve done, I just wish I could have seen a response from the record company. But that’s what rock ‘n roll is all about. I laud their sense of willfulness. It’s better than going out & burning cars isn’t it? I think what Radiohead is doing will work for them. Why wouldn’t it. People love heroisim.”
