What Went Right With I Might Be Wrong?
Before I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings slinks off the Billboard 200 charts entirely (it slides to #166 next week), we’d like to take a moment and ponder what could have been (and maybe should have been) for Radiohead’s much-ballyhooed concert record.
Coming on the heels of the band’s potent 1-2 combination punch of Kid A and Amnesiac, as well as Radiohead’s acclaimed tours of Europe, North America and Japan this summer, I Might Be Wrong was obviously meant as a way to tide fans over until Thom Yorke and company’s next proper release. Nothing new there, as Radiohead had previously done something similar by issuing its Airbag/How Am I Driving? EP in spring 1998, almost nine months after releasing OK Computer and featuring several B-sides and unreleased tracks from the OK sessions.
Radiohead have given two tracks from Amnesiac the once-over for a specially commissioned video used as the highlight of the Projectors Animation Festival held at the Centre For Contemporary Arts in Glasgow. The combined version of “Pull/Pulk Revolving Doors” and “Like Spinning Plates”, which took four months to complete, was directed by Johnny Hardstaff for Black Dog, of Bjork and Aphex Twin fame. No announcement has been made whether the film, which makes the video for “Pyramid Song” seem as fun and happy as a little kid flying a kite on a sunny day, will be available to the general public.
Radiohead has been nominated for two Q awards for the following categories:
Best Album (Amnesiac)
Best Act in the World Today
Also nominated was Nigel Godrich, who was nominated for Best Producer for his work on Amnesiac. {thanks to Angus}

Additionally, the UK music industry magazine, Music Week, is saying that the single will be released in the UK on October 15. {thanks to Graham}

XFM Top 104 List
Nirvana’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ has crashed into the top spot in this year’s X-List. Coming in at No. 25 last year, ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ knocked last year’s winners, Radiohead , off the top spot. They do manage to cling on at at Number 2 although not with the X-List 2000 winner, ‘Just’ but with ‘Creep’, up 34 places from last year. Here’s how Radiohead did:
#2. Radiohead – ‘Creep’ (last year: 36)
#9. Radiohead – ‘Just’ (1)
#16. Radiohead – ‘Paranoid Android’ (New)
#37. Radiohead – ‘Fake Plastic Trees’ (16)
