thank you for posting this article. I admire the fact that they are not afraid to explore or invent new options to release material to their fans. It is always nice to read what they were thinking behind this process.

Sorry, I wasn't there for a long time... Did you hear that Radiohead released their concert that was not long ago. I paid attention to this because it is FREE to download on the special site in any format you like. Personally, I'm waiting for avi-format-version, because, on the one hand, I'm not fan of Radiohead, but, on the other hand, it's interesting for me to watch the concert made from fan videos.

Has anyone listened to the Phil, or should I say "Phillip," Selway album? It was much stronger than I had anticipated - very pastoral in its mood.

 

[nielsgov]

Yeah I listened to it a few times. Nothing spectacular but pretty good indeed.

Radiohead ‘Could Scrap Album’ | Radiohead | News | MTV UK

Radiohead are reconvening on Monday after a summer apart to decide the future of their next album.

Drummer Phil Selway has admitted the Oxford band are unsure if the follow-up to In Rainbows is ready for release or even if it will ever see the light of day.

“We've been working on it on and off for a year now. And we've moved a long way,” the drummer explained. “But we've had a break over the summer from it, so we're getting back together next week and listening to it with fresh ears. And who knows how we'll respond to it. It's all up in the air.

"We might get back together on Monday and after discussing stuff we might just throw this all out and say maybe we need to go back to the drawing board,” he continued. “Who knows? It's all up in the air at the moment."

Selway revealed the songwriting process has been “quite the opposite” from their last LP. "We've used a very different methodology than In Rainbows. But that's just like every record we do – the pendulum always swings back the other way from the previous record."

He added the band didn’t feel pressured to repeat ‘pay what you think it’s worth’ scheme they pioneered for their 2007 release. "I don't think we're feeling encumbered by that. That method of release was something that really excited us at the time. And it felt very appropriate to In Rainbows. But we've done that. And whatever we finish will probably lead us in a very different direction again in terms of how we release it."

 

[nielsgov]

That title is way too dramatic.

 

[martha]

They should tour with the new songs and let us decide.

 

[LemonMelon]

That title is way too dramatic.

"So yeah, I dunno what's up Monday. We'll probably cruise Oxford for chicks while cranking our new shit, get kicked out by faculty, then go out to dinner. Maybe I'll organize my stamp collection, have a few beers. We'll keep you up to date; it's all up in the air at this stage."

"ZOMGOMOMG111!!!!!!!! RADIOHEAD IS DOING SOMETHING AUGHHHHH"

 

[BVS]

Is that a bad sign to have an album that you could just "throw out"?

 

[LemonMelon]

Larry has turned it into a sport of sorts, very similar to shot put.

Jonny Greenwood: We’re finishing new album, huge tour to follow


Jonny Greenwood has talked about Radiohead’s upcoming record. The guitarist said that the band are finishing the record.

Speaking to Rolling Stone Italy, mainly about his work on the Norwegian Wood score (more on that later), Jonny said on the status of LP8: “We’re finishing it, then we’ll do a huge tour.”

Jonny couldn’t say much more about the details, mostly because he claims to be the ‘irritating lazy child who’s not involved in the bigger picture’, but it will have 10 tracks (maybe a few more). The band is still undecided on the actual release of the album. Jonny called the pay-what-you-want release of ‘In Rainbows’ at that time an interesting experience.

[martha]

Fuck yes.

Maybe we'll have a U2 and Radiohead album sandwich in 2011

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Good news, and that's an understatement. I've actually been on a big Radiohead kick the last week or so. I found out that there are a bunch of pro-shot Radiohead concerts in their entirety on YouTube. Did you guys know about this? It's an embarrassment of riches. There are also a few of their long documentary/studio things on there. I don't know who uploaded them, but he/she is awesome. For example, here is their full hour and a half set from Glastonbury 2003, in damn good quality:

Don't forget the new R.E.M. album. It's like the Trifecta of alt. rock giants in one spring (assuming Shuttlecock actually gets their shit together.

 

[nielsgov]

Yeah I've seen Glastonbury 2003 on YT and that's a great show, especially Idioteque.

I hope I'll be able to see them when they tour. I just need to find someone who would want to go with me.

Update: Jonny Greenwood has responded on the translations via Dead Air Space:

I think this Italian writer (referred to here) has, either thorough over-enthusiasm, or frustration at all my non-committal answers, mistranslated me a little….in fact we haven’t quite finished the album – in the studio at the moment – nor have we yet considered any touring. The plan is to have no plan until the record is finished….hope that’s a little clearer!​

 

[nielsgov]

Typical.

 

[lazarus]

Yeah, "huge" tour didn't sound like typical R'Head talk.

Those are Boner's lying words.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

Typical.

yep...

saw that after I posted.

 

[FitzChivalry]

Yeah, "huge" tour didn't sound like typical R'Head talk.

Those are Boner's lying words.

Actually, when it comes to touring, when does U2 ever do it small & intimate? Every U2 tour is huge.

 

[martha]

I just need to find someone who would want to go with me.

No you don't. Go by yourself.

 

[martha]

.

Damn it.

 

[nielsgov]

No you don't. Go by yourself.

Haha yes, I remember that discussion here. I'll probably have to because I really want to see them.

 

[FitzChivalry]

No you don't. Go by yourself.

Haha yes, I remember that discussion here. I'll probably have to because I really want to see them.

You WON'T regret it.

 

[cobl04]

GODDAM IT. i swear to god if they don't come to Australia... well i'll probably be pretty pissed off. fuck your carbon footprint.

and yeah niels i caved recently and bought a ticket to The National, i'm going solo. i feel very uncomfortable about it, but think about what happens during the actual gig even if you're with friends... you're that focused on the show they could be there or not.

New thread title: "Has anyone ever taken LSD and/or hooked up at a National show?"

 

[Joey788]

Even though I'm disappointed that Radiohead aren't as close as we thought, the fact that Jonny posted a link to the website I write for on Dead Air Space's front page made me very happy. To think that at least some of the band members have possibly read something I've written just seems unreal to me.

 

[martha]

Never wash those typing fingers again!
