“2012 – to commemorate the 15th anniversary of OKC, radiohead releases a deluxe 4cd boxset documenting the okc sessions. among the highlights is the original, unedited 67 minute version of paranoid android which takes up most of disc two.” Hee hee. This is an excerpt from the magazine EYE. You can read the whole article (which is pretty humorous) by clicking here.
from NME:
Massive Attack’s Daddy G. says the band’s long-planned collaboration with Radiohead should happen this summer. The bands have been planning to work together since meeting at a Dublin festival last year. Initially, Massive Attack were interested in remixing all or some of Radiohead’s ‘OK Computer’ album. However, time constraints scuppered the idea. Daddy G says the two bands now plan to hook up in late summer to “see what happens”. “We’re going to go away to one of their houses, maybe in the summer. Thom’s got a house in Devon and we’re just going to jam there. Hopefully something’s going to come out of it.” Daddy G added that the remix project would have taken too much time: “In a way Radiohead have really influenced us. When ‘OK Computer’ came out they said they’d love us to re-work it for them. If you do that you have to spend a lot of time doing it, treat it with a lot of respect, it
would have taken us months to really work on it.”
Boy oh boy! The excitement today! For those of you that don’t know, Thom supposedly got into a fight with a KROQ radio DJ yesterday morning. I guess many people didn’t look at their calendars when they got up. For a complete report on this April Fool’s joke, click here.
Ok, I admit. It had me going for a second.
From the Army of Lovers Headquaters website:
“Tralala Productions are considering [NOTE that I said “considering”, but it is a possibility] taking legal action against the British band Radiohead (on behalf of Army of Lovers and songwriters Alexander Bard, Anders Wollbeck and Jean-Pierre Barda) on grounds of plagiarism. The song “Exit Music (For a Film)” from Radiohead’s critically acclaimed 1997 album OK Computer has a chorus very similar to that of Army of Lovers’ hit “Crucified” from 1991.”
Radiohead dropped 3 places on this week’s Billboard 200 to #40.

Some news I forgot to mention yesterday:
Massive Attack have dropped plans to remix OK COMPUTER for the time being. They are about to release their new album and will be busy touring throughout the year.
Bjork will not be opening up for radiohead on their last four dates. Bjork explained to Westwood One Radio that the two camps simply travel with too much stuff for it to be logistically feasible. But there may be a pairing down the road. “Both artists are very open to doing something in the future,” said a source in Bjork’s management. thanks to pathos.
