“Bjork and Yorke”

Gosh, how long have we waited for this?! Radiohead’s own Thom Yorke has done a duet with the Icelandic goddess, Bjork, according to nme.com. The song, which remains untitled, will be included on the new Lars von Trier film, “Dancer in the Dark”,in which Bjork will be taking her first cinematic leading role.

The film will premier at the Cannes Film Festival and will then open in Britain in September. You can read the NME article here. Before you slag it off as another rumor, check out Bjork’s official website. Stay tuned!
In New Album News

According to Planet Telex, the band has nearly completed recording and will now focus on mixing the album. The album release date could be pushed back until October… Nothing has been confirmed yet.

Check It Out…

Make sure to check out the newest issue of Melody Maker. It has a “Radiohead Revealed” feature with some tidbits about the new album and about Thom’s duet with Bjork. It’s available in all newsagents in Britain.

And Finally, Radiohead’s tour manager in France, Hilda Carr, was on B. Lenoir’s radio show (Radio France) last Thursday. She talked about the tour dates in France and said to tune in this week to find out how to get tickets for the French gigs. (thanks followmearound.com)

More Radiohead Dates?

Please take into consideration that this is all unconfirmed by Radiohead and their management.

You can apparently order tickets for two Radiohead shows in Berlin on July 3 and 4, 2000, by going to eventim.de (just type in “Radiohead” at the search engine at the top).Nothing has been announced officially. Be on the lookout for more European dates to pop up over the next few weeks. (thanks to Jan)

In other tour news, an unconfirmed source is claiming that Radiohead will be taking part in the Roskilde Festival, June 29 – July 2, 2000, in Denmark. We are still waiting confirmation so don’t go all crazy yet!

Radiohead Mentioned in Chats
Radiohead was mentioned in two chats earlier this week with David Gilmour and Roger Waters, both used to be in Pink Floyd. Here’s the excerpts:

MSNLive: People have compared Pink Floyd to Radiohead and Bush and Manson and others – are there any bands that you think carry on your tradition?
David Gilmour: I think some of those bands are creating their own tradition. I think Radiohead are great but I don’t think they need us, for their own path.
MSN Live
“Roy Harper” whispers to MSNLive: How do you feel about the comparisons Radiohead draw with Pink Floyd? also: “MR Jones” whispers to MSNLive: Radiohead has been compared frequently to Pink Floyd. What do you think of their music?
Mr. Roger Waters: I don’t know Radiohead’s work because I don’t listen that much to other people but people tell me they are a great band.
