Review of 7 Worlds Collide: Phil Sings!
Posted: January 5th, 2009, 10:11pm CET by Jonathan
Tags: [edit]
The New Zealand Herald has posted up a review of the first night of 7 World's Collide, a series of live performances Neil Finn has put on for Oxfam. Radiohead's Ed and Phil, who took part in Finn's 2001 version of 7 Worlds Collide, came again to lend their support. Other artists there include Jeff Tweedy, KT Tunstall, Don McGlashan, Bic Runga, Liam Finn, among others.
The second half largely belonged to a combination of the Wilco and Radiohead songbook, a match seemingly made in rock-crit heaven.
It also provided the night's biggest wobble. Finn snr wrestled manfully with the vocal to Radiohead's Bodysnatchers, but couldn't quite pin Thom Yorke's original hyperventilations over its monster riff. Not one for the live concert DVD perhaps.
Radiohead's drummer Phil Selway delivered one of the night's nicest surprises in what was his live singing debut of a rather lovely self-penned song destined for the album.

Ed and Phil to perform with Neil Finn
Posted: December 12th, 2008, 1:06am CET by Jonathan
Tags: [edit]
Old news, we know:GP reader Simeon sent us the following:
Amazing musicians coming together in 3 New Zealand concerts including Radiohead members (from www.oxfam.org.nz). Concerts are 5, 6 and 7 January at The Powerstation in Auckland. Post if your interested:
Neil Finn announces new Seven Worlds Collide project
Music icon and Crowded House frontman Neil Finn has today announced a follow up to the acclaimed Seven Worlds Collide project, and together with members of the original lineup and other artists, he will record an album of entirely new material in support of Oxfam.Seven years ago I invited a few friends and fellow musicians to do a special series of concerts in New Zealand under the banner Seven Worlds Collide. The concerts were an amazing experience for all of us and we are delighted to have found an opportunity to gather again, this time to expand the concept and the lineup too, said Finn. What will make these sessions particularly meaningful is that all the proceeds of this recording will go to support the continuing great work of Oxfam International.
Taking part from the original Seven Worlds Collide lineup will be Radioheads Ed OBrien and Phil Selway, guitar supremo Johnny Marr founder of The Smiths and current member of US alternative rock innovators Modest Mouse, Soul Coughing bassist Sebastian Steinberg, songwriter and violinist Lisa Germano, and Liam Finn. Other artists joining the project include Jeff Tweedy, John Stirrat, Glenn Kotche and Pat Sansone from Wilco, and New Zealand songwriters Bic Runga and Don McGlashan. Behind the mixing desk will be master recording engineer Jim Scott. More names will be added to the lineup in the coming weeks.
We are honoured to be working with Neil and so many other talented and committed artists on this project, many of whom have supported Oxfam over a number of years, said Oxfam New Zealand Executive Director Barry Coates. At a time when the number of people living in extreme poverty is growing, funds generated from this project will be urgently directed to those in need, providing opportunities and hope for a better future.
The album will be recorded over the next few months in Aucklands Roundhead Studios and is due for release in 2009.
Like its predecessor, the project will also see a series of concerts featuring many of the artists included in the lineup. The shows will take place in Auckland early in the New Year. Details will be announced soon.
Everyone is really excited about coming together again with a few new faces and extending the magic we created with Seven Worlds the first time round, added Finn. With such an amazing group of people, I'm excited about the music we'll be making.

Six Inch Records
Posted: November 26th, 2008, 11:09pm CET by Jonathan
Tags: [edit]
We encourage you to check out Six Inch Records, a new music label started by Radiohead artist, Stanley Donwood. Yes, that's right, Stanley is a CEO of his own record label.What is this all about, you ask? We let Stanley fill you in:
'SIX INCH RECORDS' is a project that may take a little explaining.
The story begins around the time of Christmas 2006, when I drunkenly decided to become a record label boss. Every man needs a hobby, or so the cliché has it, and if I was going to make a late-stage attempt at normality then that was one of the things that I should do. So, still reeling from red wine, I typed out a email to three musicians that I knew, suggesting that I release their music on my as-yet-unnamed record label. I have no record of what I wrote in that fateful email, and I had no recollection of it the following morning, when I awoke with a hangover.Forgive me, for I knew not what I had done. The three musicians replied to my email with alacrity and enthusiasm, promising to send me music, and, perhaps surprisingly, not telling me that setting up a record label at the precise historical point that record labels large and small were going to the wall was probably a really stupid idea.
Never mind, never mind. I started to work out how my 'hobby' was going to work. It was true that the musicians I had contacted made music I liked, and I was fairly sure that other people would like it too. I liked music, but during the period that I had been designing record covers I had come to detest the compact disc. The CD, I had decided, was simply too small.
I began to muse on numbers, thinking about the twelve inch record, the speed of thirty-three and a third revolutions, and so on. Eventually I realised that releasing three six-inch records in editions of three hundred and thirty-three and charging six pounds sixty-six pence for each one was the only was to do this.There would be nine hundred and ninety-nine records in total. Half the profits would go to the musicians and half would go to me. I was going to do this properly. I drew up a contract, which I mailed out to 'my' musicians and got them to sign it. SIX INCH RECORDS was born.

New Radiohead Remix Contest
Posted: October 2nd, 2008, 8:14pm CEST by Jonathan
Tags: [edit]
w.a.s.t.e. sent out an email last week about a new remix contest that is going on:
To coincide with asking radio stations to think about playing Reckoner we are breaking up the tune into pieces for you to remix. After the insane response we got from the Nude remix stems and the site that was dedicated to your remixes...
Unique visitors: 6,193,776, Page Views: 29,090,134, Hits: 58,340,512, Bandwidth: 10.666 Terabytes, Number of mixes: 2,252, Number of votes: 461,090, Number of track listens: 1,745,304
...we thought it only fair to do the same with a tune that at least is in 4/4. You can get the stems (the different instruments/elements) from here
Sample, cut, take the sounds, whatever. Play it in a club. Or your room. Then if you want you can upload your finished mixes to http://www.radioheadremix.com and be judged by everyone else. You can create a widget allowing votes from your own site, Facebook or MySpace to be sent through too. To start things off we asked James Holden and Diplo to do their versions.
Oh, and by the way, if you weren't lucky enough to get your hands on one of our recycled plastic bottle shirts at a show this summer, you'll be glad to hear we've made some more and they are available at the w.a.s.t.e. shop here

New Radiohead Video - "Reckoner"
Posted: October 1st, 2008, 11:06pm CEST by Jonathan
Tags: [edit]
Thom announced on Dead Air Space today that they've done a video for "Reckoner", which you can view below.
hello my mind is not functioning at the correct speed at the moment thanks to being in Tokyo but however and here is one of my favourite video things that has ever happened for Reckoner it is, the result of somebody entering a competition to make an animation to one of the tunes on IN RAINbows. on aniboom. you can scroll down dead air space and find all about it.. but anyway
so we asked them whether it was ok to make it the official one we use as it goes with the song so well. they said yes.
and if you're like me and find it hard to find videos on televsion any more, or even turn on the television you can watch right here.
ok now im going to fold some clothes.

New Album News
Posted: September 13th, 2008, 1:33am CEST by Jonathan
Tags: [edit]
BBC 6 Music has news of Radiohead's next album. The article states that the band are in the process of writing a new album, with Colin saying that they would be heading back in to the studio after they have completed their current world tour.
Ed chimed in: "We're still talking about doing some stuff and we're really excited about it. First we came off tour to do some writing and we wanted to just carry on doing it because it was so brilliant."
We completely agree with Stereogum in that this article was written pretty poorly and has since sparked other sites to misinterpert the news. Case in the point: Variety is reporting that the band have already finished most of the album and will finish it off in Japan. This is from a quote that Colin said in the 6 Music article: "We've finished the main bulk of it and we're off to Japan in a couple of weeks to finish it off."
Colin is talking about the tour, not the album. We all know that the band have been on tour for a good chunk of 2008 and while it's possible that they could be sneaking off to studios here and there, it's very unlikely.
Anyway, it's exciting to know that another album will happen and that the band are excited about it. It's just not going to happen as quickly as 6 Music misinterpreted it to be.

Rogue fan attacks Noel Gallagher on stage

How much you want to bet this is a Radiohead fan? While we have no proof, with all the smack Noel has been spewing about Radiohead and his brother calling their fans "boring and ugly", we wouldn't be surprised. Hehe..
Regardless, Noel got pushed off stage last night by a rogue fan. Video is below:
In all seriousness, we're joking about it being a Radiohead fan and hope that Noel recovers quickly. It absolutely has to be scary to be on stage and get attacked out of nowhere.

A note was posted on Dead Air Space today hinting to a possible webcast coming soon. Our guess is that it will be tonight's show in Santa Barbara. Now wouldn't that be amazing?
Stay tuned to DAS....
UPDATE: Yup, it's official. Webcast tonight!
From Colin:
Hello! To celebrate the end of a brilliant tour, we're going to webcast the last show here in America. We'll be playing live in Santa Barbara, at the Bowl. It's one of our favourite places to play; I think we've ended tours there before, once even playing a cover of ' cinnamon girl '. It's not too big, in fact it's very intimate, a small arena with a dirt floor, set in pretty countryside. It should be a special night, for lots of reasons, and we're going to try and share as much of it as we can on the webcast. Nigel, our producer, will be helping out getting it to you, so if it goes wrong....It's live!
Thank you so much to everyone who's come and seen us this year; it has truly been the most special and exciting tour for all of us.
Webcast details to follow...

Radiohead score new Chuck Palahniuk film
Posted: August 12th, 2008, 5:23pm CEST by Jonathan
Tags: [edit]
From 6 Music:
Controversial Fight Club and Snuff author Chuck Palahniuk has revealed Radiohead have written brand new music for the soundtrack to the new movie adaptation of his book Choke.
Speaking to 6 Music on the Shaun Keaveny Breakfast Show, Palahniuk explained it all came from his love of the band’s music, saying:
“Clark Gregg, who directed the movie version of Choke which comes out in November, he knew that I’d written Choke while listening to [Radiohead’s 1993 debut album] Pablo Honey, with Creep, over and over and over.
“So Clark got Radiohead to contribute a song; to write a song for the very end of the movie, the final credits.
“Apparently Radiohead liked the movie so much, they’ve written the score, most of the ambient music throughout it. So it’s ‘Choke – with the music of Radiohead’“
When asked if he felt honoured to have such a respected band write music solely for his film, the author laughed, “I quit believing in my own life at this point! My life is just too incredible to be believable anymore. It’s a living dream.”
Palahniuk’s work is famous associated with alternative music, with his use of Pixies’ Where Is My Mind during the finale of the feature film adaptation of his novel Fight Club.

The post where we ask Radiohead to play "Creep" in San Francisco
Posted: August 11th, 2008, 7:15pm CEST by Jonathan
Tags: [edit]
(photo by riskybaby)
In all honesty, we're just as tired of "Creep" as the band is, but let's not forget that it is the song that made them famous and allowed them to go on and make the rest of their albums the way they wanted to make them.
Personally speaking, I remember my high school girlfriend listening to "Creep" in 1993 and thinking, "this is such a crap song." It wasn't until she dumped me that I realized how great it was, and from that point on I was hooked. In the dozen times I've seen the band live, they've only played it once and that was in 1995 opening up for R.E.M. It's because of this that I am selfishly requesting they play it at the Outside Lands Festival on Friday, August 22nd in San Francisco.
But wait, there's another reason why I want them to play it in SF. Let's take a trip down memory lane, shall we?
It is widely accepted that in 1992/93, San Francisco radio station Live 105 "discovered" Radiohead and brought "Creep" to the masses in the U.S. From there, the single spread like wild fire across the country and everyone and their girlfriend was listening to them. You can read more about this here, if you're interested.
So, what do you say, Radiohead? You owe it to us.
PS. If not "Creep", then how about "Lift"?

Radiohead Rock Lollapalooza, Begin NA Tour
Posted: August 2nd, 2008, 7:40pm CEST by Jonathan
Tags: [edit]
(photo by berklieblog)Exactly 7 years ago yesterday, Radiohead performed at Grant Park in Chicago. That concert set the stage for allowing other musical acts and festivals to have performances there, including last night's Lollapalooza Festival that Radiohead headlined.
The band played in front of 75,000 and did not disappoint. Coincidentally, fireworks went off during "Everything in its Right Place" which definitely added to the already amazing mood of the show.
For the setlist and to submit your review, head on over to our gigography!
Thom wrote on his blog today about it:
a day off in chicago after playing lolloplozo yesterday. im so relieved as on monday i was on a train in the Uk coming back from the seaside sick as a dog and panicking. we hastily cancelled a proposed secret show in a chicago and i travelled a day later. it is very stressful when you get sick and there is nothing you can do and you have a huge show coming up. you feel low and powerless and try so hard to not freak out.
in the end it worked out. i m amazed anybody could see anything as there was 75,000 people at the festival yesterday. and it was so hot.
so hot.
ive added a new track called eraser infinite which is me manipulating jonny's piano chords from eraser.. snds like messians organ works.. well ok - a bit- good for the morning
xThe band will be in Indianapolis tomorrow night.
UPDATE: Here's a video from the show:
