Looks GREAT, even if i don't understand fully the sentence :
"Each episode’s performances will be available via download only to allow repeated viewings. Downloads are available right here and from iTunes."
Thanks for the heads up, old man ;)

wow, I'm wondering how Yorke is going to play glitches on piano.

Oh, now I understand, you have to pay in order to download it.... Well, at least "someone" has to pay for it in order to share it via emule or wathever...

His feet will be in a plastic box filled with cokroaches and amplified with contact mics, he will crash those bugs and the mics will pick up the noises.

Maybe he's a very bad pianist, and that's how he'll acheive it ;)

I just hope the new Radiohead material will be lacking electronics as much as possible. They just don't know how to deal with it.

i don't think thom does, but the johnny greenwood has at least some grasp of it all. thom yorke needs to lay off the raver shit and stop trying to make bad dance music.

i guess i'm the only one more excited about the kieran hebden/steve reid set than thom's solo set. why is it a solo set anyways? the band isn't "thom and the boys", it's supposed to be a collaborative thing, so what's the point?

Nah,you're not.

Indeed you're not. That CD was bloomin' excellent.

yeah, raver shit, that's the point. I heard that long before Radiohead he had a solo techno outfit called Flickernoise or something like that. Well, we all make mistakes.

The new Radiohead material is awesome. I saw them live at the Greek Theater in Berkeley over the summer when they were playing new stuff. It all sounds excellent. Much of it has the old "The Bends" and "OK Computer" sound, without sounding like they were just trying to copy their old stuff. I am looking forward to the new album.

So.. is this a thread about people having a problem with kid a and amnesiac? Because those albums are pretty much entirely lacking in raver shit. I don't know about hail to the thief though.

"SWEET!!!"

thanks for the news.

heard them perform 6 new songs @ bonnaroo this summer
fucking amazing.

exactly what i was going to say.

the new radiohead stuff is really good... of course i was a bit chemically altered at that show, so i might not be the best judge...

Looks great if it comes from Thom, but I actually dont wanna read, so whatever Thom do, its great to me.

Someone record and share this, pretty please ( a little reminder ) ....

Did someone watch this thing?

i have a bootleg of a radiohead show wth about 9 new tracks on it. they sound grea and i saw thom doing a couple of the eraser tracks on jools holland or something on tv with just a piano and they were real real good. thanks for the heads up on that one!
