Amnesiac drops to #8
Amnesiac drops to #8 in the US Billboard Album Chart. {thanks to Zak}
Here’s the reason, according to the band’s management, why the Beta Band didn’t perform at the Houston show the other night:
“the band were scheduled to perform in Houston however due to immigration problems they missed the show. They are currently on their way to Denver for tomorrow’s show and will be on all other shows”
The Beta Band’s Official Website has been updated too. {thanks to Jim}
Amnesiac packaging was chosen as a “Pick of the Month” by Creative Review. Subscribers to the site are allowed to read this text:
“We’ve been a bit “Radiohead heavy” of late, but we promise to stop just as soon as we’ve mentioned the packaging for a special issue of their new album, Amnesiac. A cloth-bound hardback book, hailing from “Nosuch Library” features paintings by long-time Radiohead collaborator, Stanley Donwood [CR passim]. The CD is stowed inside the front cover complete with library style lending card and due date stamps (actually the birthdays of everyone involved with the album). It comes as a “limited edition” of 250,000 (not that limited then) and costs 15.99. Says Donwood, who also designed the piece with Tchocky: “The book is a relic from the past. You should scuff it and mistreat it until it looks like the one on the front of the CD packaging. Then you need to separate the pages and let them moulder in a drawer in the haunted attic of an abandoned house”. Hmmm, maybe we won’t go that far but in a time of tightening record marketing budgets and increasingly homogenised sleeve design, it’s worth celebrating such an original piece of work.”

Radiohead rocked Houston last night with a 22 song, 2 1/2 hour set that left fans aching for more. The Beta Band, who’s van broke down on the way there, did not perform and was replaced by a local DJ. For the setlist and some great reviews, click here.

You can hear a clip of the Luka Bloom cover of “No Surprises” here. Here are some comments made by Bloom:
“People ask me if I have heard their new CD. I heard a few pieces on the radio and I’m not really interested. I respect the decisions and choices made by every artist, and whether or not I like the result is irrelevant. I just like songs. I think Thom Yorke is a magnificent writer. He has written some brilliant songs and Radiohead is a great band. No Surprises is a very beautiful, very sad song. It was not easy to catch the power acoustically. Thom Yorke sings it in a very intense way and I felt it was a real challenge to achieve that same feeling using just the acoustic guitar. But I like such a challenge. Records these days are so full of production gadgets that you have to listen many times to hear the good songs. I wanted to see if I could turn a Radiohead song into a Luka Bloom song.”

But wait? What about the Philadelphia show? Is it still happening?
We heard that a local radio station in Philadelphia reported that the show was not happening. This was the response from w.a.s.t.e.: “The show for Philadelphia has not been determined yet. I do not have a definite answer yet, but you may want to keep updated @ http://www.waste.uk.comhttp://www.waste.uk.com or http://www.radiohead.com for all details.”{thanks to Peaysjay52}
