NEWSFLASH: NME KNOWS FUCK ALL
The new song is The Gloaming. Well done, chaps.
The Guardian, NME and Planet Sound have all reported a new song. I spent some time in a press tent at Latitude Festival last month. The following illustrates how this probably happened:
(3 journalists wander into the Reading Festival press tent)
A: Jeez, Radiohead were fuckin sick man B: Yes. Sick C: Did you hear that new song? OMG OMG A: I did not. B: Nor did I. C: Well, I'm from the fuckin NME, it was definitely there. A&B: Gee thanks, we'll go and make some shit up about it now. C: Me too. Hey lets do some coke first. A: Yes, that will only help our reviews. B: Hey I'm off my face right now.
Following Thom Yorke's set at Lat, press people kept coming upto me as 'the guy who knows all about Thom Yorke'. I could have made NME, Guardian and Planet Sound say he'd played a wholly new set if I'd wanted, or a set of Toploader covers or something else shit.
Moral of the story: music journalists are lazy cunts.

cough cough...freakin' L.A. fires
Hey james/butters...nice to know you are you. =P
I'm still happily amused/shocked to see so many familiar names still here...and the same quality of posts and news (no sarcasm there).
I can't wait to hear Thom's cover...will have to wait till I get home as youtube is blocked at my work.
I've been obsessing over "Twisted Words" and I already figured out most fo the guitar parts so now I can't help playing it whenever I'm free at home. It's amazing how they still keep coming up with creative-minimalistic-simple-sounding guitar parts that are in reality complex and completely weird to play....in this case I'd say that applies to the guitar and drums...it's not that hard to play but it baffles me how they can come up with something like that.
Gotta love those crazy bastards.
So...what's all these about watching live shows on the TV? what channel? where? is it online yet?
missed this place

I was at Dingwalls for 7 World Collide. The man has a nice singing voice.

At long last we're probably getting a studio version of old-Reckoner. dead air spaceedit: and another thing. I saw Harry Potter 4 on tv last night, and it stood out more than ever that Jonny was probably born to be in a wizard band.

I wonder if FeelingPulledApartByHorses will still have the "I've no sons and I've no daughters" line? I like that one. I'm picking it wont mention 'the reckoner' anymore though ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

I always liked the acoustic version from the trade justice show. "gimme french fries or I'll summon the reckoner!"

it actually works a lot better on guitar than I would have thought; it brings a lot of subtle things out that get taken for granted in the abbey recording (the arpeggios at the end that keep slowing down and then speeding up sound particularly good).
It'll be nice to hear a 'proper' recording when it is played live.

Thankyou. You are an ace dude and will be rewarded on the day of judgment. Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to big up Yorkeminster, another ace dude and also massive church in my university city.

That's funny Marco.
I'm not immediately a huge fan of the new songs. I'm glad the sons & daughters line was kept though. The Hollow Earth video is unwatchable, I hate direction like that.
