In an interview with the Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat, L.A. Philharmonic Music Director Esa-Pekka Salonen spoke about Radiohead and the possibilty that there may be something in the future between them:
“I don’t understand the music that Darude (Finnish pop band) makes but I understand Radiohead. They are a great band. We had dinner together where we talked about a collaboration.”
It has been a rumor that Radiohead and the Los Angeles Philharmonic may be doing something together in the future. Stay tuned!!! {thanks to Jani}

Radiohead on for biggest chart hit. “Radiohead look likely to achieve their biggest hit single ever, according to midweek sales figures. The Pyramid Song is the band’s first single in three years following their decision not to release any from the album Kid A. Despite little radio play for the track, figures show it sitting behind DJ Pied Piper’s Do You Really Like It?, selling 16,761 copies.”
