News for May 24, 2000

According to French radio Oui FM and www.fnac.com, Radiohead will be playing two more dates this September in France. Nothing has been confirmed by the band yet, but we are to believe that the tickets will go on sale tomorrow ( May 25) from www.fnac.com, and then on again on (May 29) at other ticket agents.

The two shows will take place on September 19th and 20th in a tent similar to a circus big-top, which is supposedly going to be built just for the shows. The gigs will be near the Stade de France, in St Denis, a city very close to Paris.
This most likely means that the band will be touring Europe around that time and that more European dates will surface soon.

For those in North America, expect Radiohead to tour your area towards the end of the year or early 2001.
Stay tuned!

(many thanks to Benrio)

Scott Walker on Thom Yorke
As earlier reported, Radiohead will be part of this year’s Meltdown 2000 Festival, hosted by 60’s legend, Scott Walker. In the latest issue of Time Out, London’s Entertainment Guide, Mr. Walker commented on Radiohead and specifically Thom:

“I feel honoured that they are going to be here. They’re a perfect integral band. They also possess the great lyric singer of his time. The thing about lyric singing is not particularly the voice, its phrasing and you can’t teach that. Thom Yorke happens to have both.”

Here is a snippet from a recent interview that Les Inrockuptibles, a French Magazine, had with Bjork:

Les Inrocks : In this movie, you sing in duet with Thom Yorke, don’t you?

Bjork : I always wanted to collaborate with him, to mix our voices… so, Selma (Bjñrk’s character) sings with Thom Yorke in her dreams. These kind of things never happen in the real life. But in a dream, you can sing with Thom Yorke.
(Many thanks to our friend, Lunargirl)

In case you’ve been out of the loop, Thom is doing a duet with Bjork for her new film, Dancer in the Dark.
