Last night’s playback in NYC
The Kid A playback for media and fans went very well last night in the Sony IMAX theatre at Lincoln Center in New York City. The lucky people who were let in were treated to a multimedia display on the huge IMAX screen while they listened to Kid A. We have a couple of reviews for you, one from someone who attended the playback and the media cocktail party, and some from fans who were let in. Enjoy!
You can also read NME’s article about it here.
Now you can “see it all”
MTV has just introduced “webeos”, music videos on the web. On of their first ones is a webeo for Bjork’s “I’ve Seen It All” but unfortunately it is a version without Thom. Nevertheless, it’s pretty neat! Go here to view!
Thom recently did a duet with Bjork on the song for her soundtrack to her movie “Dancer in the Dark.” The soundtrack, with the Thom version, will be out on September 15th.

Just a reminder…

Radiohead Interview in Q
Radiohead have admitted that the lengthy conception of their new album Kid A sparked a number of “crisis meetings” for the band – a reaction reflected by the revelation that one song – Knives Out (which didn’t even end up on the album) – took 373 days to complete.
In an exclusive interview in the October issue of Q Magazine (on sale 1 September), Ed O’Brien said that the absence of a deadline imposed by their label, Parlophone prompted “brain overload”. He said, “Human beings need a sense of order to what we can handle. If there are too many unfinished things, where do you focus? If you’ve got 30 or 40 things started and you’ve made no decisions on any of them, it causes you to knee-jerk and panic at times. We had several crisis meetings.”
The band also reveal their top secret publicity photographs for the launch of the album, a series of manipulated portraits created by Thom Yorke and his “mate Dan”, which depict each band member with modified features and pale eyes. The experiment he says, was because he’s “fed up of seeing my face everywhere. It got to the point where it didn’t feel like I owned it. We’re not interested in being celebrities, and others seem to have different plans for us. I’d like to see them try to put these pictures on a poster [giggles]”.
Read the complete interview in Q, out tomorrow (Friday 1 September).
