Pitchfork article
There is an article about the new songs at Pitchfork.
(thanks to Edgar)
The two NME articles are now online here and here. Here’s the bit about the new album:
Colin talks of their plans for the new album. “We fly to LA at the end of August. (Long-time producer) Nigel Godrich rents a space there. We‘re going to spend two weeks working. The plan is like with OK Computer – we’ll have loads of songs we know and it’ll just be (mimes dumping a pile of books on the table) there!
He thinks about this: “It means we’ll be in America for September 11. Which will be interesting.
They hope to release the new LP, their sixth studio album, in March next year. There’s a discussion about the new songs. Since Thom didn’t introduce most of them on stage, people are curious about the titles. Have they really called a song “A Punch Up At A Wedding?” They have. Thom finds the fuss over the titles funny. “I should have handed out lyric sheets to the audience,” he says, which seems like such a terribly un-Radiohead thing to do (for a band who, as “artists”, hate the idea of giving anything away for fear it will spirit the “art” itself into nothingness) that we assume it’s a joke.

New album news
In this week’s printed edition of the NME, Thom is interviewed and mentions that the band will begin recording their sixth album next month in the United States with Nigel Godrich and expect a March 2003 release. Also, he mentions that the band has rehearsed 16 new songs for the current tour.

New Lyrics
Lyrics for most of the new songs have been uploaded to the Lyrics & Song Information section. Most have been transcribed from the recent mp3s, though we do have the correct lyrics for There There which came from a lyric sheet provided by Mr. Yorke himself.
Since Thom seems to be changing the lyrics on some of the songs each night, it’s difficult to find out exactly what he is saying.

Jonny speaks!
Jonny Greenwood made an appearance on the official Radiohead messageboard earlier today where he shed some light on a couple of things:
Whether the song “Reckoner” would appear on the new album, Jonny replied, “Played once, dropped. Possibly the worst show that tour too, I’m afraid. Lovely spot though. I was very ill….”
Someone asked him to speak about the new album, which he described as “Guitars yes, big wiry synths yes, Philip singing yes lots of drumming yes.”
Jonny also dispelled the “Parrots” rumor by saying, “I’m afraid, my old love, that Parrot’s nest was an endearingly ramdom rumour started by whoever said it first.”
