What a pleasant surprise! Ed and Phil joined Neil Finn earlier tonight on stage at his show in Manchester. Ed played with Finn for six songs while Phil only played drums for two, though he did play the tamborine for the rest. What’s really cool is both Phil and Ed provided backing vocals for Finn’s final number. Phil, we always knew you could sing!! 🙂

Speaking of MTV, Radiohead’s “Pyramid Song” is one of the “Play My Song” videos listed for TRL. You can go here and vote for it to appear on TRL. For some reason MTV goofed and has the title of “Pyramid Song” as “Never Had a Dream Come True”. True, true…
