Kid A propaganda

Posters and those nifty little blips are showing up everywhere to promote the release of Kid A. Recent reports have posters and stickers appearing in New York City while the media blips are being aired on Canada’s MuchMusic channel. Even Circuit City, a large electronics chain in the US, is airing the blips on their televisions twice every hour!

Last night’s playback in NYC

The Kid A playback for media and fans went very well last night in the Sony IMAX theatre at Lincoln Center in New York City. The lucky people who were let in were treated to a multimedia display on the huge IMAX screen while they listened to Kid A. We have a couple of reviews for you, one from someone who attended the playback and the media cocktail party, and some from fans who were let in. Enjoy!

You can also read NME’s article about it here.

Now you can “see it all”

MTV has just introduced “webeos”, music videos on the web. On of their first ones is a webeo for Bjork’s “I’ve Seen It All” but unfortunately it is a version without Thom. Nevertheless, it’s pretty neat! Go here to view!

Thom recently did a duet with Bjork on the song for her soundtrack to her movie “Dancer in the Dark.” The soundtrack, with the Thom version, will be out on September 15th.

Just a reminder…

That Kid A will be played on Steve Lamaq’s show on the UK radio station, Radio 1, on Monday, September 18th. The album will also be aired on the Dutch radio station VPRO, on the same night. The airing will happen between 22:00 and 23:00.

If you can’t listen to it, there will be many airings of the album plus other goodies on a lot of the fan sites, including Green Plastic, courtesy of Capitol Record’s iBlip. If you have a Radiohead site and would like to host the iBlip, go here. The fun should start on September 11th.
