OK Computer Radiohead Thom Yorke tour

News for April 18, 1998

What does it take to score an interview with reluctant Brit-rock demigod Thom Yorke of Radiohead? Apparently, being animated doesn’t hurt. The Radiohead frontman has agreed to appear on an upcoming episode of the Cartoon Network talk show “Space Ghost Coast To Coast” which airs each Friday at midnight.

Yorke, who often leaves interview duties to his bandmates, joins an impressive list of music world luminaries who have visited the show, including Metallica, Beck, Method Man, and Pavement, who were the first band to actually perform on the show (excluding Space Ghost’s tuneless sidekick Brak, of course).

Radiohead wraps up its U.S. tour with two shows at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall this weekend.

Action Records is having a contest in which you can win rare Radiohead artwork. The catch: you got to preorder the upcoming Seven Television Commercials home video.

You can read the transcripts from last Sunday’s MuchMusic interview with Thom by clicking here.

From Spin Online:

“Radiohead Sells Out

Radiohead will again play the Tibetan Freedom Concert this June, joining a superstar line-up that already includes Beck and R.E.M. and will, most likely, feature The Beastie Boys and U2. The band, currently gearing up for a sold-out American tour, played on last year’s bill at New York’s Randall’s Island. In other Radiohead news, a fan website is reporting a rumor that the band are being sued by an obscure dance act called Army of Lovers for allegedly stealing the melody from their song “Crucified” for the OK Computer track “Exit” A spokesperson for the band had no knowledge of the suit and as far as we know, it hasn’t been filed.”

and from Rolling Stone Online:

“Avenging Angels

Blur, Sinead O’Connor and Sugar Ray star on The Avengers soundtrack
Extraordinary crimes against the people and the State have to be avenged by The Avengers soundtrack, starring Blur, Radiohead, the Verve Pipe, Sinead O’Connor and Sugar Ray. And, just for good measure, Tori Amos, Annie Lennox, Stereo MCs, and possibly Beck and Prodigy, will do some avenging of their own.

The powerhouse lineup of modern rockers will join together for the sole purpose of raking in cash and adding contemporary flair to the film adaptation of the ’60s tongue-in-check spy adventure TV series, which stars Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman. The soundtrack will hit stores in early July, prior to the film’s release.

Earlier this month, Radiohead entered a London studio to record a song, tentatively-titled “Big Boots,” for the soundtrack. According to the band’s co-manager Bryce Edge, Radiohead reserves the right to not give the song to Atlantic Records if it ‘turns out to be a turkey.’ ”

The Airbag/ How am I Driving? EP wil be released on April 7 in the US. The tracklisting is:
1. Airbag (album version)
2. Pearly*
3. Meeting in the Aisle
4. A Reminder
5. Polyethylene (pts 1 & 2)
6. Melatonin
7. Palo Alto
