News that Radiohead are in the studio - for a week now - working on the follow-up to 2007's In Rainbows with longtime producer Nigel Godrich.Bassist Colin Greenwood described the initial studio session as "very noisy and chaotic and really fun" in an interview with BBC 6 Music. But before you...
Last night Radiohead closed out their U.S. summer tour behind In Rainbows at the Santa Barbara Bowl. "We've bad a blast, generally," frontman Thom Yorke said of the itinerary. He also dedicated OK Computer's "Paranoid Android" to anyone who had surgery, saying "You're going to die soon. It's all going south." The entire performance was Web cast via Radiohead's Web site last night. Naturally, I ...
When I was thinking about a post for blog action day, my thoughts immediately went to a recent Thom Yorke interview I read in the Believer, where the Radiohead frontman discusses the environmental hazards of touring:THE BELIEVER: You've talked before about the environmentally awful aspects of touring and how Radiohead is trying to find more sustainable options for traveling. Have you come to ...

The first draft of this post, titled, “My Poproks 20 Best Songs Since 2000,” is from this past March. 8 months, 1,000 edits, and 3,000 miles later, it officially exits the abyss of blogFAIL that is My Poproks “drafts” section. Making lists is hard! I will never complain about another ‘Blank Songs of Blank’ list [...]
Reissues. I can't say I wait for these things to come out, even if I have the original. I mean there's a reason you fall in love with the original, right? But there are audiophiles who love the suckers so they'll probably be psyched about these beefed-up Radiohead reissues out on March 24th - Pablo Honey, The Bends and OK Computer. Radiohead is probably not though as these suckers are coming ou...
came back from an east coast trip with this lovely box set finally shipped to me. i believe it was supposed to have come by the 6th so it was a few weeks late. the big question is whether it was worth the $80. overall, i think it was probably worth closer to $60. i guess the weakness of the dollar is what really clobbered americans on this.you get a beautifully done box that is of the qualit...
You know that saying "money doesn't grow on trees?" Well, let's just imagine this summer it did. If you had all the money in the world, which one U.S. music festival would you go to?"Coachella":http://www.coachella.com/event/lineupApril 25th - 27th Indio, California3 Day Passes: $269.00 Artist: Prince, Jack Johnson, The Verve, Roger Waters, Portishead, the Raconteurs, Kraftwerk, My Morning Ja...
By the time Radiohead came on stage Friday night at Outside Lands, the approximately 50,000 person+ crowd had spent at least $89 dollars for a ticket, endured hours of transportation woes, a tedium of lines, jam-packed crowds, fenced-in cattle-like scenarios, and cold, frigid temperatures throughout the day in the park. But if there was ANYTHING that could ease the pain, it was Radiohead.Battl...
Well this is a first, but then with Radiohead firsts are the norm. Thom Yorke isn't exactly telling Radiohead fans to go out and buy the band's The Best Of album. Why? "We haven't really had any hits so what exactly is the purpose?" Yorke rationalizes. Back it up though and you might remember that Radiohead's The Best Of album is the final album fulfillment on the band's record contract with th...
For those of you Moggers who were at Coachella this year, you most likely heard Prince's take on Radiohead's "Creep"? Unfortunately for the rest of the world, Prince, as usual took down all footage of his Coachella performance captured by fans and uploaded on the net off YouTube almost immediately. The Purple One has always been uptight about copyright laws and footage of his being made availab...

It's been a year and five days since Radiohead released In Rainbows as a name-your-own-price download. In that year the band and its publishing company Warner Chappell, which oversaw the novel release, have kept mum about its success. But today we are getting a little closer to finding out how much cha-ching Radiohead banked from the whole gimmick as details were revealed on the topic during th...
