Radiohead The Eraser Thom Yorke tour

US Tour, Thom Yorke, Plan B

We’re going to have to keep this short and sweet for now: Radiohead should be touring the US sooner than you probably think. ‘Nuff said!
Stay tuned.

RollingStone.com thinks that Thom Yorke is one of the top 5 singers ever. Ever. This was in response to Q magazine naming their top singers (and worst) ever recently. Thom is joined by other legends, such as Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, Dusty Springfield, and Billie Holliday.

Speaking of Thom, there is a very cool video of someone drawing him, and then speeding it up and setting it to music. Check it out.

And finally, a rapper named Plan B has sampled “Analyse” by Thom Yorke. The song is called “Couldn’t Get Along…” and you can hear it at his MySpace.

Oxegen 07, T in the Park, & Bonnaroo

The lineup for Oxegen 07 was announced and there is no mention of Radiohead.

Radiohead was rumored to be playing this festival but of course, that was just a rumor. There is some speculation that they may still headline Sunday night. Who knows.

While the chances of Radiohead playing Oxegen are now slimmer than before, we can still look to the T in the Park festival.

Though nothing has been announced officially about the band being there, we continue to get word that it should happen.

How about Bonnaroo? After last year’s awesome (and lengthy performace) by Radiohead at the Manchester, Tennessee festival, many people have asked us if they will be back this year. Nope. It’s not going to happen folks. Sorry. Our guess is that the timing is just bad. You do want them to finish the new album, right?

Speaking of the new album… we should hopefully have some updates for you soon on this, as well as the tour, soon.

Radiohead to play the Lowlands Festival?

According to the Lowlands Music Festival website, Radiohead will be playing the Dutch festival along with Arcade Fire and Pearl Jam the weekend of August 17th.

We do want to stress that nothing has been announced by the band themselves so please consider this a rumor until made official.

UPDATE: We have been told that this is not the official Lowlands site so this may all be crap. Whatever. 🙂

Bonnaroo DVD on the way

So I believe the general consensus is that Radiohead’s epic 2 1/2 hour set at this year’s Bonnaroo Festival was one of 2006’s best shows by the band, if not the best. Many of us weren’t lucky enough to be there so the recent news that a DVD of the band’s performance may be on the way is great news. Thom certainly loved the performance, which is evident in a recent interview he did on BBC 6 Music:

“We did this festival called Bonnaroo. We did 2.5 hours. And there’s 80,000 people, admittedly they’ve been smoking the sticky green all day– probably wouldn’t go anywhere anyway. It was just amazing. We played loads of new stuff. We did whole sections of quiet piano songs and it sounds like the most grotesque, self-indulgent nonsense, but it probably is my favourite gig for years and years and years. It was a really mellow evening. Actually it’s all being filmed, but we’re sitting on it because there’s loads of new stuff on it. Because we’re mean like that. It will come out eventually.”

We’ll take two DVDs please.
