On May 3, we updated you on Christopher O’Riley’s performance of Radiohead songs on NPR. We recently got an email from Mr. O’Riley himself:

“I thought you’d like to know that I’ve been doing about a dozen RH covers as part of my public radio show in the States, From The Top (a forum for pre-college age classical musicians which I host). They have all their programs archived, and the Radiohead songs are all there as midway break pieces. I’ll also have my own site up and running shortly (www.christopheroriley.com) which will have mp3 as well.”

We have an update for you regarding the story we brought to you last Tuesday about concert pianist Christopher O’Riley’s transcriptions of various Radiohead songs on the NPR program “Performance Today”. The episode will air on on May 28, 2002 on your local NPR radio station in the US. To get a taste of what you’ll hear, head on over to the Performance Today website and listen to O’Riley’s incredible transcription of “Exit Music (For a Film)”.
